Riding and Shooting

Yesterday Sara B and I went riding for about two hours out at the Jackson's. We had a ton of fun and she had a good riding experience finally. I did some bareback galloping, which is amazing and Sara got the mule to speed trot, which was plenty fast for Sara. Then Sara's dad came up after we were done riding and he brought the skeet shooting stuff with him. Sara and I shot her really nice 20 gauge over-under. After we had used up the 20 gauge rounds we used her dad's semi-auto 12 gauge and man that thing kicked twice as hard. Sara did quite well and I did way better then I thought I was going to do because I hadn't shot clay pigeons in five plus years.

Today we had a going away party for Sara because she is leaving tomorrow morning for ACU. I have helped her pack some stuff up and will be seeing her off in the morning. It has been a real honor and privilege getting to know her and spending time with her this summer. I am really going to miss her.

I got pictures from Florida and from shooting plus some others that I will be uploading to my photo site soon. Pray for a safe journey for Sara and her parents as the travel to ACU tomorrow. ~Semper Fi

Back from Florida

We all made it back from Florida safe and sound. It was a really relaxing week of just hanging out on the beach, building sand castles, floating in the ocean, seeing dolphins up close and kayaking. Mmmmm good times indeed. The highlight of my week was the first day we got the kayak. Sara B and I went out for about an hour and we saw dolphins and would have hit one if it hadn't moved. Then we rode breaking waves and big swells for the rest of the time we were out there. It was so much fun. I would have to say my second favorite thing of the week was on Thursday we played games and did a small variety show and learned the electric slide, that was a lot of fun learning a dance, it's something I think I will do once I have a real job and can afford dance lessons. We took tons of pictures and even some videos that I will be getting all together and making a DVD to watch.
During the week I was having a hard time deciding whether to tell a girl I like, who is about to leave for collage, what I think about her. I prayed about it and I had a desire to read through Proverbs and as I sat outside reading one afternoon the answer was right there plain as day in Proverbs 27:5 - Better is open rebuke then hidden love. Now I just need to tell her. Anyway that is all for now. Semper Fi

Off to Florida

Well I am off to Florida for a wedding and then will be spending a week down there with a lot of my friends. Pray for safe traveling and a good time. Semper Fi

It's my birthday today

I have been quite busy and have had a lot of fun since my last post. Here I go at a recap. A week after we went riding, see previous post, Sarah and I went riding for about two and half hours at the same place, the Jackson's, and man it was so wonderful and relaxing, just riding around bareback having a blast.

My parents came down for my sisters graduation from July 27th to August 1st. They finally got to met the majority of people we are always talking about. They had a really good time and got along really well with everyone, plus everyone really enjoyed meeting them. They fit in really well with everyone down here and it just felt liked they belonged. We pretty much just relaxed at the house and went swimming everyday while they were here. We did take them to Georgetown for catfish, so they could get a real good Arkansas experience.

Today I went riding with Sarah and the kids she babysits for about an hour, because it was so hot outside. We had fun and it was of course relaxing. I have been cleaning up the yard here at the house and finally got around to building a compost bin for all compost stuff we have. I can't really think of anything else that has happened since my last post. I have heard from Bethany and she is doing good minus the frustration of finding an apartment and getting her internship taken care of. I need to call Luke cause it's been awhile since I called him. I almost forgot about Florida. About fourteen of us are going to Florida for a whole week, because Caleb and Lindsay's wedding is this weekend. The Montgomery's rented a condo for a week so we will be down there for this weekend to the next. I am really look forward to it, plus I will get to see Bethany. Well I think this is a pretty good recap of what I have been up to. Keep me in your prayers, as well as Luke and Bethany. Prayer for wisdom, strength and guidance. God bless. Semper Fi
