Is there anyone out their that actually likes Mondays? Maybe Monday's should be taken out of the week, but then I'd hate Tuesdays. Really though, it's not the whole Day of Monday that I hate, it's Monday mornings.
I had a sucky Saturday and an OK Sunday due to Celiac Disease and a major migraine but Friday I actually had a great time. So Friday afternoon around 2:30ish a major thunderstorm blew up and work was no longer a workplace. Everyone upstairs came running down stairs, the tornado sirens went off, and it rained so hard you could hardly see outside. There were limbs and trees down all over town! Sean and I were supposed to leave for a rodeo at 3:00 so I had to drive home in the storm, it had let up a little by then. When I got to the barn I found Sean running around in a camouflage rain poncho gathering up goats. A tree had fallen onto his mothers goat's pen and they all ran for the hills. It was a sight!
Sean and I were the only two to go to the rodeo so it was kind of fun. We took the scenic route to Lincoln,AR (up near Fayetteville) and got to see lots of beautiful scenery. We also saw a dairy farm. We don't have those around here in central Arkansas. It was neat to see all the black and white dairy cows! It was also nice to spend the evening alone with Sean. We are having one of Sean's friends from New Mexico stay with us for a few weeks so we aren't going to have many alone nights for awhile. By the way have you ever heard anyone from New Mexico speak? Their accent is really different!
Anyway I rounded out the weekend in bed with a migraine and cleaned the house a little.
Wow what a boring post, no wonder no one reads this thing! Here, here are some pictures of the dogs to make even more boring!
We hear a fourwheeler!
There it goes!
Wait he's leaving!
Ok Banjo How do I get out there?
Bye mom!
I'm pretty sure it's unhealthy to love your puppies this much!
I've heard people say that the first year of marriage is the hardest. I've also heard the first year of marriage is the easiest. I don't have any other years of marriage to compare my first year to but let me tell you it was pretty darn hard. We went through a lot of ups and downs: From moving to a rent house infested with fleas (and then having to move out a month later), to living with his parents for six months, to finally getting our own home.
Sean moved home from Houston to Arkansas right before we got married. In Houston, he had a great job and made great money. He moved because I hated it there. We had trouble finding him a job back home. We finally found one a few months into our marriage and now at one year of marriage we're job hunting again.
We've raised and trained one dog and are working on another. We've made a beautiful home together. We've been to one million and three rodeos and spent countless hours in the practice pen. We've been apart a lot of the times due to S having to travel with his job. We've fought like crazy and we've had some of the best times of my life. 
The first half of our year was rough. When two stubborn, selfish, hardheaded people try to live together it doesn't work very well. We've learned a lot about our selves and a lot about each other. We've both learned what the word compromise truly means. We've both learned what it means to love someone. 
I don't know what tomorrow brings for Sean and me. But I know God has an amazing plan for us. I can look back at the past year and see that some of those things that I thought were so horrible at the time worked out pretty great. I can also look back at my life before Sean and see how God prepared me for marriage to Sean. It excites me to actually see Gods work in progress.
I'm very thankful to have married my best friend.. He teaches me a lot and I'd like to think I teach him a lot. One thing I've learned from Sean is to take life day by day. God can end our lives at any moment.
