Cheyenne and Layouts

I have been asked if new pics of Cheyenne had been posted on my blog, so here are some new ones. She is doing really well. As you can see, she's filled out nicely. She's really blown me away with how fast she learned to lead. I can take her across the street now to go on walks without her getting scared. I'm working on getting her to tie, and I'm working on getting her more comfortable with having her feet handled.

Here are some layouts that I have done the past couple of times I went to craft night at church... yes, they are of the horses!

Good Find

I haven't purchased much scrapbooking stuff lately, but when I was at target today, I saw these:


They are Autumn Leaves, just smaller packets. Only $1.99 each. They weren't on the scrapbooking aisle, I just happened upon them at the end of the aisle before the scrapbooking aisle. They had some others too...a baby one for all of you moms and pregos...No Alissa...I am not pregnant!!

Out with the old...

In with the new...

For those of you who haven't heard, Josh was in a wreck last Saturday. Thankfully, Josh did not get hurt. However, our poor little Isuzu pickup didn't stand a chance. Yes...he wrecked the only vehicle we own with an air conditioner. The cost of preparing poor Izzy the Isuzu was going to be almost $5,000, especially when you count the cost of repairing the oil leak and the soon-needed new tires. Needless to say, the truck just wasn't worth any where near that much money.


So, we decided we better go car shopping. We went looking that same day. We only had liability on the truck, so there is no chance we're getting any money. Even if we did, it would be totaled out. So we went to the sell-it-yourself car lot on the South Parkway, and we found a very nice deal!! There is no way I can really be upset with Josh, when I look out my window and see my 2007 Ford F-150!!! We really, really got a good deal on this one, and we both decided we really couldn't pass it up.

Cheyenne

It's official! I have pretty much decided on a name for our new baby girl. Her name is Cheyenne. Isn't she pretty?!

Sochs and Cheyenne...ain't they cute!

My latest impulse purchase....

Ok, so I went to the wild horse and burro auction just to look...
I was instructed not to buy anything...
I came home with a yearling filly...

But really, who could resist! She is really sweet, and no one bid on her. I just had to have her, and since the girl I went with bought two donkeys, I thought why not! I even called some friends from church to get their opinion. I did TRY to call my husband, but he never answered his phone. I just couldn't let a deal like this go, so I bought my very first baby horse! Of course, Josh did not know I did this until he finally called me back when I was on my way home from taking the new addition out to her new home. Needless to say, I did get into trouble when he realized I was not joking about buying another horse...

Josh came out to see her the next day, and I think she won him over when she walked right up to him. Someone has definately worked with this filly before, because she is far from wild. She lets me touch her all over, and pick up her feet. Not much seems to bother her at all. Sochs loves his new sister...he didn't want anyone to be able to see her but him. He kept chasing the other horses away from the fence!

Can't wait to scrapbook the new addition to our furry family....now I just have to come up with a good name for her!

MemphisZoo

Ok...I know I said I wasn't going to be posting while I'm in Memphis, but I should have known that I would get bored sometime.
I'm doing ok here. I've got a nice roommate named Carroll Jo, so that makes it nice. I'm not all lonely and stuff, but I still miss being home. It is hard to know that I will be away for so long. I know I'll come home on weekends, but then I know that I will have to leave again. Josh came to visit this weekend, and it was hard to see him go. :o( Last week went by fast because I was pretty busy, so hopefully this week will go by the same way. I had two papers to write last week, and I have heard that this week we will have a writing/research assignment everyday, so I'm sure I'll have plenty to keep myself occupied with.
When Josh was up here this weekend, we decided to go to the Memphis Zoo. It was a pretty big zoo, and it was nice. I love going to the zoo, and seeing all of the different animals. Anywho... it was a fun trip.

This is a pic of me and Josh:



And here's a pic of what almost every animal was doing yesterday between 1 and 4...sleeping...



Have a good week!

A Break from Blogging

I know that I have been really good about keeping my blog current lately...ha ha...but I just wanted to say that I will be taking a break for the two months that I'm here in Memphis. Have a good summer!
