| OUR beauty queens after their pageant at the fair. |
The last few months have went by quickly I must say, the most exciting thing for me personally is that I got a job at the local County newspaper, it is a little weekly paper. I really enjoy it and we have been able to breath a little easier with a little extra income. I am still in school. I am taking a night Math class on Tuesdays and Thursday night from 530-645 and one online class. It is an hour drive from where we live but worth it and I am home before the girls go to bed.
We went to Clinton, Shannon went the whole 10 days and I rode down with our friends Cody and Krystal on Wednesday. Shannon was in the money on Friday! Him and Beau did really well. Next year I hope we get to work our horses and have them in better shape, it will be Shannon's 10th year to race at Clinton.
We had a blast!!! Shannon and I got to spend some much needed time together without the stress of everyday life, I think we both really tried to leave all the worries and just enjoy our time together. I love that man with all I have and I am so thankful that god choose me to be his true love as he is mine. Sometimes I question if I deserve someone like him but I know I do and Skyler and Kayden defiantly does! Those girls have an amazing daddy!
Miss Kayden started 1st grade and is doing great! We are so proud of her. Since I first met her I knew she was smart, I have noticed that Shannon is smart like that too. Skyler is growing like a weed. She is so gorgeous and so ornery! Both girls did a local pageant a couple weeks back and OMG they looked stunning! Neither placed but this is kinda a "who's who" town. It drives these old timers crazy when they come into the newspaper and want to know who I am and where I'm from and why I'm here and so on...oh nosey little towns but good little towns and I LOVE it here! Everything about it, it's where I wanna raise my child, it reminds me of the place that I was raised but that town no longer exist. Bentonville, more like Vendorville!
I am recently decided to start blogging, writing or something regarding memories of my childhood, I would like to have them for Skyler and her children. Especially memories I have of Grandma and Nana. Grandma has been gone for a while now but I can still picture her face like I saw it this morning, Skyler has her lips. Oh and the smell of her house, I will never forget that smell. Possibly...sweet wood-chips or I could have just made that up because she was so sweet / kind and she loved wood working. Nana is fading fast, the Nana we all know anyways, oh how I love that lady and man did we have some fun times together, cooking and shopping, so many memories I never want to forget.
Anyways...I hope to have time to write more about that some day soon as the weather becomes chilly.
I have a feeling this fall I will have more time to blog so...talk to ya soon!

Had to let you know, I am now crying thinking about Grandma T. Thanks, but it is a good cry. I miss her too. I wish she could have met, Shannon, Kayden, Skyler, and my Brandon. Keep the post coming, I love to hear how you all are doing.
ReplyDeleteAww Vonda, I did not mean to make you cry but now you made me cry so we are even? lol Yes I miss her so much and wish she could have meet the new ones if our life's. But I also know that she is so happy for us and proud of us for being good strong mommies and women. :) Take care and hopefully we will see you soon.
