Happy Reformation/Jinx's Birthday!

Weird title, I know. =D
Today is my cat's birthday! Jinx is officially 3 years old and still small and slinky. =D She's so....jinxy. =D (sorry, that's her nickname around here!) What is funny is that she's completely black, not a white hair on her, and we named her "Jinx" before we found out that her birthday was October 31. *grin*
Also, today is NOT Halloween, but Reformation Day. On October 31st in 1517, Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the doors of Schlosskirche church, sparking the Reformation. This is a picture of the doors of that church. I believe that we as Christians should celebrate Reformation Day, in honor of the Reformation, and not the play day of demons known as Halloween. One question to think about would be, "why do Christians want to celebrate with demons, and not the birthdate of the Reformation?" ...just something to think about.

Happy Reformation!

FINALLY....

*cringes*
Alright...that took long enough...Hi. =D So sorry for keeping you all waiting....it's been really busy around here, and it looks like it's gonna get even MORE busy. We had some friends come over to help us with the school schedule...so...haha. (If you know what I mean...:)
Anyway, Belle is doing fine; she's getting a bit irritated and rather...fat. =D And....FALL IS AMONG US! WOOHOO! ...I've been dying to say that for a while, but never got the chance. =D The leaves are pretty much going here, and we're due to have snow Saturday! *is very excited* I LOVE October...it's so nice. The leaves are covering the ground, the sky is turning to its deep blue, it's getting cold, (see your breath cold:), and the horses are getting their winter coats. I love going up to the barn and just burying my face in their necks and feeling how warm they are....*sigh*...so nice. =D It'll soon be time to double their feed and TRIPLE on the hey....and crack the ice in the water trough on cold Winter mornings, and then stick your hands in the freezing water and pull the ice chunks out....*shiver*. Oh well...farm life...what can I say? Oh, and did I mention sitting by the fire with most of the lights off and wrapped up in my fuzzy fleece blanket with a cup of hot chocolate and a good book? Or peering out the window in the morning and looking through the bare trees at my horses plodding through the snow in the dim blue lighting? Or maybe snuggling into my bed at night deep under my comforter and cuddling with my cats Sheba and Jinx? *sigh* I love my home. =D *glances this way and that* Sorry, couldn't resist...I got kinda carried away. =D Oh well, you people know how it is. A dramatic 15 year-old girl just can't resist. Oh, and before I forget, we have two pet birthdays coming up. *grin* Our cat Jinx will be 3 October 31, and Red will be officially 29 years-old on November 30. (My little Red is growing up...) Ah yes, and at the end of October, myself, mom, Rebekah and Nathan are going down to GA to visit my Grandma...and guess who else I will be seeing? *is giddy* EARWEN! WOOHOO! *cyber hug* Love ya, sis! Ahem. Yes. Anyway, nothin' much else has been going on. Just the usual life of us mountain people. =D Dad is bringing back and exterminal from GA, and the laptop will have to go. *sniff* So I probably won't be around for about a week (or more) until he can get it installed. (This computer stuff is about to drive me insane...) Yeah, so. That's pretty much what's been going on. Also, just to give you an update, when the old comp crashed, it had 7,000+ of my pictures on there from 3 years time. We were afraid that we weren't going to be able to get them off, but we did. Dad sent me an e-mail this morning and told me so. They are now on the hardrive to the new comp, so, needless to say, I'll be burning them onto a CD as soon as I can. =D But that's the scoop, and we're all doing good. I'm going to put up some of my favorite "google" pictures, and that'll be all. Sorry this is short and all, but I'm runnin' out of things to post! Also, while I have your attention, I'd like to get your idea on something. We were reading out of Mark 5 the other day, and it's one of my favorite chapters. Please read it. It's short, and I was planning on maybe doing a short story on the contents of the chapter. On a scale of 1 to 10, please tell me what you think about that idea. If I did write it, it would be called "We Are Legion"....*Grin*....read it and you'll know why!

Thanks for being so patient! Love you all!

In Christ,

I love this picture of the TIMBER WOLF. Wolves are really neat...if they're not after you....=D

I'M BACK!

Here I am! I'm back! Dad installed his laptop up here, so...we're back!
Anyway...this is gonna be REALLY fast, but I just wanted to let you all know. I do have a cold, and I'll be fixing meals for the weekend because mom went on a trip...so....prayers are wanted! :D Thank you all for being so patient...LOVE YOU ALL!
And thanks to Earwen, my crazy, lovable best friend forever!

I'll be posting again soon!

In Christ,

Quick Post

Alright, this will be really quick, but I wanted to let you all know that I'm not dead yet. =D
The comp is STILL down, but dad ordered a new one. It is at the house, and he's putting all the info on it. It will be at least another two weeks....maybe more. But just wanted to let you know.

VERY limited amount of time....got to go!

Love you all!

In Christ,

Belle's Foal @ Day 60

This will be quick, but I just wanted to post this picture of a foal at day 60. Belle is two months pregnant now, and we were curious as to what the foal looks like. Needless to say, we were happy! By now, the foal is two and a half inches long.

Just wanted to give you all an update!

New Hair-Cut!

Finally! A post! =D (And a short one at that...)
A few weeks ago, I got my hair cut. It's nothing drastic, as you can see, but it was getting long and heavy. So...here's my new do! =D
Also, while I'm at it, please be praying for Earwen's family. Her dad--it looks--has a partially collapsed lung, and I believe they'll be getting the results in Monday. Please be praying!

FOR TODAY, August 30, 2009 ...

Outside My Window...
Rainy...cloudy. *shiver* COLD! =D

I am thankful for...

That my dad and brother got to Colorado safely. =D

From the kitchen...
Nothing much. Mom doing something. =D

I am wearing...

Pink shirt and pajama pants....I slept in this morning. =D

I am creating...
Uuuuumm....hopefully a picture of a fictional character known as Thomas. *glances at Earwen smiling*

I am going...
NOWHERE! Thank goodness! =D

I am reading...

My Bible.

I am hoping...

To get some stuff done today on the computer that I've been meaning to do for a while now. =D

I am hearing...
Music. I've got my headphones on and am listening to music from another playlist. =D (Numa numa!:)

Around the house...
CCCCLLLLEEEAAAAANNNN!!! YAY!

One of my favorite things...
My sketch book. *pats it fondly*

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...

Don't really know. Go pick up dad and Nate from the airport tomorrow, is one thing.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...(I'll warn you.........)

REALLY fast post...

Hey everyone!
My utmost apologies for being so absent! (lol this is going to be really fast...)
This afternoon, we are taking my dad and brother to the airport so that they can go to Colorado for the Father/Son Retreat up there. We'll be traveling today and some of tomorrow to get back. Please pray for my dad and bro because they'll be on a plane (naturally:) and...well...a lot can happen. =D

Oh, and some of you were asking how to get the picture behind the playlist. Okay. First of all, you'll need to get an image that is of proper size. Go to your playlist account and click "Post My Playlist". Go through it as when you would normally be posting the playlist on your blog. When you get to "Customize Skin", click "yes", and it will ask for an image URL. Past the image location in the box and make SURE you preview it before you eccept it. You can always change it if the picture is too big. Once you have it the way you like it, you can change the color of the playlist and so on. Go to "get code" and get the code and just past it in the stead of your old one.

Hope that works! (I'm sorry if it's confuisng....but I'm trying to book it! Send me an e-mail if you don't understand, and I'll try to fix it.:)

ttyl!
In Christ,
~Miss Rose

YIKES!

Goodgrief! I haven't posted in a while....*sheepish grin* Sorry! It's been really busy around here...school, housework etc.
I'm really...REALLY sorry about that. Earwen's dad is home and well, and things are going smooth. And just to let you all know, their computer won't let them get on the Internet; so, that's the reason she hasn't been on lately. (And boy did I find that out...I didn't realize until yesterday that the bulk of my e-mails came from her!:)
Nothing much out of the ordinary has happened lately...just the regular swing of things. I just haven't thought of anything to do with blogging...which is why it's sort of...dead? =D

And, to kill it even more...I've gotta go. Breakfast awaits. =D

Love ya all!

In Christ,
~Miss Rose

Answered Prayers!

I'm happy to say that the prayers of all of us have been answered! Earwen's dad came out of surgery fine, and was still sleeping when I last talked to her. Everything went well, and they did it in under three hours. She said that the doctors expect him to be fully recovered in about six months, so, that will also require some prayer. (If you ask me, the recovery part is probably the worst!:)
They will still need your prayers, so please keep them in mind.

Thank you all SO much!

In Christ,
~Miss Rose
