Everyone needs one

http://www.crystalpeaksyouthranch.org/ranch-life/2014-cpyr-calendar-order-form/

I do this every year!!! They are free but with a recommended donation of at least $7.00.  I do at least $20.00 just to donate to an amazing place!!! If you have never heard of or visited Crystal Peaks youth ranch you need to check out their website.  They do amazing work with kids and rescue horses.  They are a christian based ranch that came from nothing with the help of the LORD to affect millions.  Kim has written 4 books about the ranch and those that come there.  It really is an amazing ministry.  So I encourage everyone to order a calendar and donate to help this ministry help lots of kids, people and horses.  Great time of the year to give!

Motivational Monday

This is definitely motivation.  I am not condemning those who divorce.  I have been married before and divorced.  I tried with all my might to fix my marriage but it takes two and you should never put up with abuse.  And from a christian stand point never marry without GODs blessing as I did in that instance.  I just think in this society this is such a huge thing that runs rampened and not only in marriage but all relationships.  We just throw it away if it doesn't work for us.  I know sometimes there are circumstances where you have to let a relationship go but in general if we would just treat each other better, have more understanding, showed loyalty, and stood up for what was right and wrong we would be so much better off in personal relationships, buisness, etc.  We have just become such a me, me, me society.  So I think it would be great if we could follow this.  If something is broken at least try to fix it.  

Life up in the air

So Eric has been working up in Seattle for the last month.  They have been trying to get this huge account for years and finally got a chance at it and none of the guys in seattle wanted to do the work.  So for a substantial raise Eric offered to go up there and work.  He really likes the work and the company they are working for.  They are trying to get them to sign a 2 year work contract.  If they do that then he would be up there prity much permanently.  He has been working all week and coming home on weekends.  It has been a rough go with all that has been happening and with my health.  We just don't like being apart that often.  So we may be looking at moving up there.  I am not sure I would have ever picked that area to live in but you just never know I guess.  We will go up and look around and see what we think and have to get an answer from them on a contract and then we can go from there.
   I have no idea what will happen but I know it really makes life crazy with the not knowing for a while.  I hope by the 1st of the year we will have an answer.  I am torn with the move but I think it could be a great opportunity to.  We shall see what happens:)

Don't think I had shared

So about a month ago George Strait tickets went on sale for his April concert.  This was on my bucket list and a dream of mine to see him in concert.  As well as my husbands to.  I had looked up on average what tickets were costing and most were running $175(nose bleed) to $1500 for floor.  Yikes ya that is out:( And they were selling out in minutes. But I seen if you joined his fan club for $15 you got presale tickets a few days before so I though what the heck.  So I signed up and the presale dale came and guess what..... YA I got tickets:)  We are going to see King George:) SOOOOOOOOOOO Excited!!! I ended up getting tickets for $100 and we are one section up from the floor which I actually prefer for seeing the whole stage:)  I still can't believe I am going to get to go.  Always awesome when dreams come true!!!!

Been Crazy around here

Well lots has been going on and happening here.  Sadly a lot of it not so good:(  But hopefully we are heading in a better direction for the holidays.  Trying to get things scheduled and done for that:)  It always seems to sneak up on me even though it is the same time every year:)
  Shar is settling into her new boarding home prity well and has a buddy that keeps sneaking into her pasture to hangout with her.  So I am glad to see she seems to be doing well and seems to be healing up alright.  She is still a little sore from Pringle going crazy on her.  I think she misses him despite him going loco on her. I do to. Yes he could be a butt head and he wasn't exactly the best horse in the world but he was one of my fur babies and I miss him daily.  Just glad Shar seems to be happy where she is and it is only about 10 minutes away so that is good.
   Then we got our life turned inside out when Eric job moved him out of state again.  It isn't to far away.  About 3 hours but still he is gone.  He does come home on the weekends so that is better than ND when it was over a month usually.  We are not sure if it will become permanent or not yet.  Then there is the question of if it does do I move up there or do I stay close to friends and family?  Then he would be home on weekends.  So we are praying on that.  I don't like it but I understand sometimes you gotta do what ya gotta do.  But I really like my husband.  I know so cheesy but he TRULY is my best friend so it is so hard for us to be apart.  So we will see what all this brings in the next few months.
   Hope everyone has a very blessed, happy and safe holiday season!!! May we all remember the real reason for the season!!!!

Motivational Monday-Veterans Day

This video touched my heart in such a deep way.  As you watch you can see the pain and suffering in his eyes and his demeanor.  But at the end when he sees himself for the first time you can see him change in that moment!!! I pray that this will be a permanent change for his life and that he will be blessed beyond measure.  Our veterans go through so much in service of us and our country.  Thank you all veterans out there for all that you do!!!!

Motivational Monday-Strength from the LORD

I haven't written about the last two weeks as they have been  VERY tough and just haven't been able to write about them yet.  So this was a great scripture to read and to really meditate on.  It has been a rough go.  I had to put pringle down two weeks ago tomorrow and move shar twice and still waiting for her to settle in to her new home.  Then I took a fall and ended up with stitches in my hand and a lot of bruising and pain.  It has definitely been one of those when it rains it pours!!!  I have just had to cling to the LORDs word to keep it somewhat together.
