Scarriest Ever!

SO today me and Liz weren't going out witnessing till the afternoon, so I was taking care of Chubs (Phin and Joys grandson) and we wanted to go HORSE RIDING!! Apparently a good idea, but no.... So she starts off great and we're riding along, without a care in the world. Joy comes, takes pictures of us and the sun was shining, life was a bliss... Chubs decides he wants to get off and I'm like YIPEE a ride in the cornfields! We always took those, Horsie and I, so this promised to be a blast. So we make our way to the little path leading to the cornfield and she starts going bizzerko. Bucking and neighing and trying to knock me off. "Mean ol' hag" I yelled in terror (no, I didnt, but it was something of the sort...)! I screamed for Freddie as the horse took off in a gallop towards the thorn bushes. *SCRATCH!* went my poor arm on those pokey branches. Blood seeped from the wound(there was only one drop, but yeeeah) and I held on with all that was in me. I was half off the saddle when I superhumanly pulled myself back on and finally reigned the horse to a halt. Freddie came running, his face white with fear. "I'm fine now" I said, barely able to breath. Freddie reassured me that once the horse did that once, it was most likely never to happen again, especially since I showed him I was boss by not falling off. I hoped he was right. "HEYAH!" I said as I kicked the horse and off we went. He was fine till we reached the corner, then he freaked out and started galloping. Not cantering, GALLOPING. Not even slowing down for turns, into another thorn bush we went, this time the thorns tearing at my leg, leaving ugly white scratches. "Jeeeeeeesuuuuuuuuuusss" I called out, praying with all my heart that I wouldn't die, but would live to see my princess again. Under low branches I ducked, screaming at the top of my lungs for Fred, all the time trying to reign the horse to a halt. She got off the path and ran through tall, dry grass, dodging random trees that dared get in our way. The yelling and praying continued. Finally, right in front of a guayaba tree, we screeched to a halt. I could hardly breath and was panting so hard. Mana had heard me screaming and her and Joy were looking for me to see if I was okay. I yelled to them that I was and they called Fred. He helped me get off the horse and took it far away from me so I wouldn't kill it. Chubs came running up to me and held me, imagining never seeing me again...it was too much for him to bear, cuz he didn't let go of me for the next 5 minutes. It was the scarriest thing that ever happened to me, but I'm here in one piece, with only a few scratches from my ordeal. That is one naughty horse, but I like it and shall ride again shortly:).....

Sad titings...

Sniff. They've gone. All the boys...minus Johnny and I guess you could say Fred, have gone to the States for a whole 45 days. 2 down, 43 more to go. No you creeps, I don't have a little calendar right beside my bed, crossing off the days. The house is so quiet without them, it sucks. My princess went too and I already miss him soo much. I'm trying to distract myself with junk food (oops babe, don't see that), movies, and the thought of going to Canada. I'm also thinking of starting to work out...sigh...so we'll see how long that lasts. It's pretty convicting to not be doing any form of get out here cuz every one does it.

On a lighter note, yes, as you read above, I'm going to CANADA!! I havent been there in about 11 years, so this is all so exciting for me. My wonderful mommy got some people to pay for my ticket and we're off December 1st! Weehooo.

Belated love

My computer is officially screwed up and it'll cost about 2,400 pesos to fix, so yeah, I'm kinda screwed...I haven't gotten on in the longest time. I just wanted to take this moment to send a wee bit of loves and stuff to two of my favourite Asians. Celeste, I know your post always ends up with some one else's, but it's better than nothing(yeeeah, just referring to the fact that you didn't post for my birthday>:P ).

Celestie Poo: You know I love you and can't stand not being with you and I only want the best for you out of life. I'm a little selfish by wanting you all for myself, but that's just the way things are, so grin and bear it. Can't wait till I get to see you again and take you back with me and...yeah, you know all my plans;). Never change. Not even a bit. You're my perfect girl: You sing, you're HOT, you clean up after me, you cook, you're mature, humble and everything I wish I could be.

Melanie: Thanks for being so fun and cheery and awesome. You're so cute and I admire you. You've been through a lot and are still holding on for Jesus. Know you're in my prayers. I called you for your birthday but I heard you were getting a little birthday surprise;). Call me sometime. Can't wait to hear from you!

That's it. My Asians...Julie and Hiro, you're my asians too.. I would post pictures, but I'm illegally on Checko's computer so this is me signing out with an "I love you girls, happy birthday and you're awesome!!"

Whoopie doopie dooo

OMG Te-te is PG! I found out yesterday but couldn't get on the computer. Don't worry though, this will be just as inthusiastic:P. Te-te is gonna be the best little mommy any baby could hope for, besides me...lol. It's gonna be so spoiled by it's(oh wait, dibs on being favourite auntie) yeah that... Guys I wish the best for you and know that I'll help you out with whatever whenever where ever.


P.S.....On a very less exciting note, I just got voted in this afternoon, so I'm sorta a ranch girl now. Lord help me:P

To my baby Jules

Aww Julie. I'm sorry, I had no time yesterday aaaaaaaand I tried calling you and the phone was busy or something lame like that. I miss you tons and I'm sorry we have hardly talked since I left. I miss our talks on the roof. I could tell you anything, and that's something I value a lot. I hope you have the most awesome year yet, even though I'm not there, somehow you'll survive. Take care of Nikki for me and don't let her get into any trouble. You're still my Jaydee and I think of you whenever I hear that name. We'll sing our hearts out and not let Celeste tell us to shut up;)

Just rantings about a horse and stuff....

I came home from a hot, trashy day out to ride me dear friend fred's horse:D. He had it all saddled up for me so that when I got home I just needed to change and hop on; that's exactly what I did. We trotted across soccer fields, galloped through cornfields....it was pretty awesome. She's super naughty though. Once she left the gate and I'm leaning all my "weight" on the reins and the old hag wouldn't stop till after a bit. I'm all flustered and scared and like "NO! Naughty horsie. tsk tsk." Did I learn my lesson? The answer is no. She did the same thing again twice and tried to knock me off by going under trees etc. Did I let her? Not this cowgirl, uh uh. No way. I manuvered her out of the bushes and off to the glorious corn field. Normally she's all scared of ditches, so we get to this ditch and we were gallopping, so I'm expecting her to slow down but noooooo. She leaps over the ditch and I almost fell off but daaaaamn it was awesome! I shall ride her again shortly:D

Update from October 17th:
I just found out from some horse nerds that what I was doing was cantering, not galloping...but who cares, it was awesome anyway

I love it 'cuz it's mine!

So after not having a room and living out of a suitcase for 2 weeks here, I finally moved into my own little LOFT. It's awesome and I love it so much. Every time I climb up my little ladder, I laugh. Every time I turn on my lamp (cuz the light switch is all the way downstairs) I smile. I've never had my own room before, and that makes it all the more exciting.

P.S. If you want to see it, which I'm SURE you do, you have to come visit me:D

Tampico

Wow this post is overdue! Haha. I wonder if anyone still comes here after that long month away. So much has happened since last post; too much to put here. As most of you know, I'm in Guadalajara. It's weird for me, being here. I guess I thought I'd never see the day. I've been saying I was gonna leave for a while, but now that I'm actually gone, it just feels weird. Before I get into the whole missing Tampico deal, though, I just wanted to say that I'm doing tons of new stuff here. I picked corn from a corn field, I rode a horse, and I whipped the cream to butter:D. I know right? Country girl, you're all thinking, but I guess that's what living on a ranch does to you:P. Okay enough about me, even though you're all dying to know how I am. This is about the Fresno Home(Just doing a little advertising for you guys. You know you appreciate it:D)...

I miss you guys more than you can imagine. You have nooo idea. I miss everything about it and I don't think I'll ever forget each and every one of you. I can't wait to go back and visit...see you all again. I guess the Lord never takes anything away without giving you something better, but believe me, you guys are crazy competition. I miss every single one of you. From Sean all the way up to Mary Rose. I still call Tampico "my home" and I get weird looks. It's so hard to put what I want to say down in words, but I guess it can be summed up in a few: You guys are awesome.

FDTP

Hey I'm going to the FDTP tonight! woop woooooop. I'm not gonna be posting here for about 3 weeks, but after then, be prepared for a mushy post to my now former home in Tampico. See you in a bit

In Brownsville.

So we came up to brownsville FINALLY for those who knew we were leaving "tomorrow" for over a week:P. It's been going pretty good, considering the selection of CDs that we have. We weren't really expecting to be doing the kind of tooling that we are, but PTL and we're doing our best:D. We're heading back home tomorrow after doing a day and a half of witnessing. We made a bit for the FDTP but still need quite a bit more, so just pray the supporters that we wrote come through. We have our fingers crossed. I packed up my room before coming. It was so hard. Hahaha. I'm suuuuch a pack rat. Course, I couldn't bring myself to forsake all my sentimental stuff, so I'm leaving a box of my stuff there...Oh sorry girls, I must have forgotten to tell you:P. Celeste was being a taskmaster and making me fold everything all perfectly and unfolding the ones she didn't aprove of. She went to go "make lunch" in david's room (Buuuuusted lesty) and I stuck everything in the suitcase fast before she could inspect them. Ho ho ho. She is probably refolding it all now as we speak...I type...wtv. Anyways, this is getting long and boring, so I'll cut it here. Oh no, I won't. I got my diploma for finishing high school today and we opened it. It's so beautiful:D. They included a letter and my dad read it out loud and was crying. Hahah I love you dad. So yeah, I'm ending it noooow. Hehe Love you all. Kissies.
