Rodeo

Last wk-end Isaiah andI took Ryan to the rodeo here in Superior. He took this picture of us with my cell-phone (that's why it's such poor quality). We had lot of fun. Ryan got to chase a baby calf (oh course it's a baby...that's why it's called a calf). A girl barrel racing almost got hurt really bad, her horse surely did and the guy behind the fence that the horse ran into....he flew back 20ft, it was scary-

Isaiah got a group of boys (I say boys b/c they looked like they were 12 and 13) to help him in the wild cow milking, Isaiah is very good at milking, those boys were not good at holding the wild cow. I cheered really loud! It didn't help :(

But we had a good time and we even dressed up to get into the mood- aren't we cute...well Isaiah is..

We didn't dance afterwards...we wanted too just not with a bunch of drunk people and we don't know how to dance...we try..all the time and have lot of fun. Here's how it goes...

The credits to a movie starts to play. Isaiah gets up and starts dancing I'm laughing so he pulls me up into it....and I pretty much got the moves (not) but we do try and have lots of fun. Someday we will take dancing lessons and be really good- we definitively have the enthusiasm.

My favorite part of the rodeo was: the older couple in front of us...yeah I'm a sap! They were being so cute and sweet to each other (they were like in their 40s) kissing every 20 mins or so, hugging, laughing at their 3 teenagers and their friends. They were really sweet.

Today we are going to Silverwood-

Tell you about that later-

Next Month-

One

More

Month

Time flies by so fast when you're having fun. I almost forgot our anniversary is next month. Isaiah and I were at the pharmacy yesterday and the check out lady asked when it was and Isaiah spoke up real fast

"One month and one day."

"Do you have any plans?"

I hadn't really thought about it yet so I looked at Isaiah.

"Yes. But it's a surprise."

Well I love surprises and I really love them when they are from Isaiah so I can't wait!

Children are a Gift.

Lately I've been day dreaming...

About someday being a Mother.

A mother is a teaching, a protector of the home, 2nd in command she is a leader.

A comforter in time of need. She should also be a wellspring of JOY in the home.

She is there with time no matter how busy she is to listen to all your worries and fears.

This is someone I've always known I'd be someday...

Today I was tutoring my 6 yr old sister in law and had a lot of fun.

We sang and shared smiles.

She is my little buddy and we filled the whole house with joy together.

Kids are the future so what is more valuable than investing time in them?

If you don't have time for them you don't have time for life.

Some parents don't enjoy their children. I do not understand this. They can't wait to get away from them like they aren't their own flesh and blood.

My parents enjoyed spending time with me. When I wasn't old enough to work with my Dad my Mom took us kids everywhere...I never had a babysitter that I can remember except for my older siblings and grandparents.

When I worked with my Dad I got to spend the whole day with him.

We talked in-between jobs and worked great together- I really liked it.

One of my first memories is of my mother taking me to the post office. It was just up the road from our house. When she was pregnant with Ryan the last baby in our family we would go walking together and this told me she cared about me because she spent time with me.

My husband and I talk often about out future kids, activities we will do with them.

How things might be. What godly things we want for our kids.

We are excited to start a family- we both want lots of kids- how ever many God gives us.

I'm enjoying this stage of life...being a newlywed....going on dates...having my hubby all to myself...but I'm excited for the next one too.

I have two main role models-

And I hope I'm as joyful and cheerful as Debbie Pearl

And as calm and peaceful as Michelle Dugger.

But I am Rebekah McGuffey and can only ask God to make me into the mother I will be.

Whenever it happens.

New Hair Cut

A little bit of bangs...a lot of a trim.

New flowers I never saw before.

Half-mowed lawn...I ran out of gas :(

Other than the pile of clean clothes, napping, and the yummy dinner.

This is how today has been.

I will bless the Lord at all time His praise shall continually be in my mouth.....

the humble will hear thereof and be glad.

Hey Lady!

Sorry,

But I'm not an independent woman.

Yeah... maybe I could provide for myself and be all alone and everything

But really I'm not into that-

First I depend on God to supply all my needs.

Emotional

Physical

Spiritual

I'm a girl....with a lot of emotion.

I see babies and I cry.

God has bottled all my tears.

I'd like to thank those who have always been there to put their arm around me and let me cry. And those that have laughed their hearts out for joy.

My parents for guarding me and helping me keep my most precious ones for

my husband.

My husband is an amazing man- he is manly and tough and likes to sail the sea, kill dear and stick his hands in their guts. But he also is a big time snuggle bear and has always just listened and held me when I cried...about nothing....nothing at all.

Some of you girls know what I'm talking about.

My body is a temple of the Hold Ghost.

I'm a girl that likes to stay on the move.

Running, hiking, snowboarding, volleyball, yoga

are my top favorites.

But really without any support and encouragement

what fun are these by themselves?

Running for example I never thought I could go so far- or as fast

But the people that told me to push it and told me I could do it- I owe it to them to say

thank you

Lizza, Abby, Isaiah!

What would I be by myself...a girl who couldn't even run a mile, couldn't serve over hand pretty much lame.

Spiritual

I need my Bible everyday- I can't be without it!

I need to talk to God!

My church is very small

But boy can they sing,

the preacher can PREACH and I think he could jump to the moon if he wanted.

The Bible is taught and souls grow closer to God.

My heart gets pricked about my sin.

All by myself I am a sad little sinner.

But a saved one that still needs God every day.

My God is very BIG.

So to all the independent ladies....

Go for it-

But I won't join you in a million years.

First Catch Today!

This is where my husband is....

Catching all this!

On a boat like this.

And I miss him-
