story time!! :p

Bonjou konpè-m!!(:
Thats how you say hello to a friend in, Kwéyòl (Haiti). Or at least thats what this website told me :p so yeah!!

so went to my friend Ryans graduation/birthday/welcome home/off to Biola party(: lol it was so fun!! Our families have known each other since forever!! Well, for like 20 years now! so a looooong time! Super fun last night!!(: Thats me and ryan when we were like waaaaay little. lol they had this pic up on the wall :p i think we were at the zoo or a farm lol idk!!




Everyone, this is Abracadabra! A.K.A. Abby(: this was from the day we took her to Meghans house. sad day :/ i didnt cry though! cause i knew she was going to a great home!(: I havent gotten an update on the babies though :/ i definitely cried when we sold them! sooooooo hard to let them go.


Thats Mary Jane and Otis on there first day outside after being born so they were like 2 days old i think. MJ is the brown lil princess and Otis is the goofy white one lol they were such chacacters!! Miss them!! especially with what had happened during Abby's first pregnancy :/ heres kind of a re-cap of what went down my jr year with Abby's prego days....

So this was my first year with Abby and she was prego!! That was the whole idea, have the babies, sell them make some money and then milk here till next breeding season and make cheese/soap with the milk. Well the day comes when the babies are born. It was all really crazy and fast! both kiddos popped out within an hour of going into labor. (this was a week day so i still had school) anyways, Abbys doin good, we took the two lil kids and got them all cleaned up. She had a lil brown/black/white buck that looked just like her, his name was Sampson and then she had a lil black/white doe who looked like the daddy and her name was Delilah(: Everythin was good, kids were in the house in the pen, i was milkin abby to get the colostrum for the kids, had the pasteurizer ready to go things were goood!!! well a few days go by and we notice the kids are acring funny. they cant stand up anymore. Called the vet he came out to check on them and Abby, and gave us some meds. ($$$$$$$) another day goes by and its way worse! im a wreck. living on no sleep, no food cause i was worried sick about the babies. well after a few days of fighting to keep them alive, Sampson went to animal heaven while holding him in my arms :/ from there we started fighting to keep Delilah alive. She started improving a lil bit. I was having to give her all different shots with different meds and then iv fluids. It was so sad. but thats all we could do. then one night about 12:30am she gets worse, she cant stand she cant move her heart beat is slowing. i give her fluids then my mom and i jump in the car to take her to the vets house who lives 20 min away. we get to his house and im a complete mess. he calms me down so i can help him. we give her more fluids, warm her up, we had to poke a whole in her rumen to let some of the gas pressure out but nothing we did was enough and she went up to see her brother that night :/ probably the worst week of my entire life. never cried so much before. So when MJ and Otis were born i prepared for the worst. Abby at the time was actually carrying 3 kids but one was born dead :/ which was the first to come out so then i was freaking out thinking all of them would be dead but nope, God blessed us with 2 beautiful kiddos!! who grew up and were sold together to a nice lil family as pets(: yay!!


now on to some other stuff lol


Church was AWESOME today!!(: Chad asked some good questions that got me thinking. When he was talking about the Rocky movies and he asked, "What would you have to achieve to prove that youre not a bum?" the first thing that came to my mind was a certain weight. Which that is soooo dumb!! Sadly its true. With todays society its all about money, looks, the latest and greatest phone or computer or some other gizmo. Its stupid stuff!!! as Chad also said, "we buy things we dont need, with money we dont have to impress people we dont know." When asked what i want to achieve to prove that im not a "bum" i dont want to answer x-amount of pounds, i want an answer like, giving my life completly to God and making Him the center of my life. Thats what our answers should be like. but unfortunately thats not the case. At least not with me and i will admit that. so let me ask you, what do you want to achieve to prove that youre not a bum??? think about it!!(:

  1. I can tell you that you are definitely NOT a bum! I'm glad that Chad's talk spoke to you today. It did to me as well. I think we get so stuck on being "good enough" and we forget that God calls us to him just as we are. Love you girl!!!!

  3. Just now read this : ( Glad you had a fun time @ Ry's party. We definitely need to get together more frequently. BTW - I would have put up photos from homecoming, but he wouldn't let me put up any boy/girl type photos. So. . .no photos from ANY of the dances when everyone looks all spiffy.
