23 years of memories...

Today is my 23rd BiRtHdAy!

So for my BiRtHdAy I decided to take a trip down Memory Lane!

Thanks for going through all of these with me! I have had a lot of GREAT friends and memories over the years! Thank you to anyone who has had a part in my life! I am who I am because of you! I hope for many more GREAT friends and memories!

Horse

Yesterday Chris and I decided to take a drive and look at some model homes.

{By the way, we found the perfect house}

As we were leaving I noticed a cow/bull in some one's {large} backyard stuck in barbed wire. I wasn't sure what to do. His side had been torn up and was all bloody. We pulled over to make sure he got out. As we were standing there watching the bull, this guy came to greet us!

He was so friendly and soft! We probably stood there for 10 minutes petting him!

{By the way the bull got out of the barbed wire all by himself}

Valentine Swap!

Bunch of Scrap is hosting a Valentine Mini Swap!

I have heard of people doings this before {usually after it is over} and it sounds like so much fun! If you are interested, click on the link above for more information {or to join the fun}!

Time Consuming... But worth it!

I just spent the last day and a half reading the Archives of this family. Truely Amazing. I have been so inspired to become a better wife, sister, friend and person. If you can find the time I would definately read about this family.
