Twilight

So quite officially, I went and saw the movie with Jennifer, and I liked it. Yeah, it was corny, sappy, and kind of lame--but way better than the book. Even though I didn't give the book a chance... which I am rectifying. I decided I would read the series but even more than that, I decided I should start writing again. If this got published, I'm sure Timothy has a fighting chance in the world. I love creating stories and reveling in other's creations. Anyway, If you haven't gone, I would suggest going because it is pretty good, at least worth seeing once... or twice :)

My Niece Ava Belle

In Loving Memory

Yesterday was one of the hardest days I've had in a long time. Alot of you know, but my wonderful friend Jo has passed away. At only four years old, he had a good life ahead of him--but sometimes we just don't understand God's plan. He and Lady were in the round pen together--my two favorite horses--while dad cleaned out the corals. They got fighting like horses do, but lady is such a dominant mare, she wasn't going to give in. She laid him a hard kick that snapped his back right leg. The vet came over right away and said there was nothing we could do to save him... we just had to put him down. I love that boy, and I'll miss him. I just thought you all should know.
