Hi to those who might jump on here

Hey everyone!

Today has been a good day! When I got to work I was told you get to leave a half hour early! after work Matt and I headed out to the parents we managed to round everyone up to play three diff games! Tonight is the campfire and I am excited to get the smell of the wood smoke in my hair and the taste of campfire hotdogs on my tongue! truly excited!

wow! another one within the year of the last!!

Hey all,

Just dashing off a quick message before I head over to the folks to stack wood!

Today, I realized how people respond to you is largely based on your own attitude...the other day I was as crabby and an old bear...today I was in such a happy mood, despite having only four hours of sleep, when I was crabby everyone around me was kinda crabs to at least to me. BUT today everyone was very happy and seemed more pleasant......so the whole to this post??? well is to tell people I am going to be more pleasant in my attitude and I hope everyone else will try as well....

Please don't get use to me posting!! lol it might not happen like this!!!

figured it all out

Hey everyone I am sure no one visits this here blog anymore because i could not get to it myself for so long.

It's great to be back

what's new?? okay here we go since I last posted I have gotten married and moved out of the parents house I have started working at Mcd's and have set up a routine that keeps me busy and out of trouble!! lol

Today:
It was a very peaceful and calming day after milking this morning Dad and I ate breakfast both took a short nap while we "watched" the Walton's.
after that we headed to Church and enjoyed a great message and I must say I learned somethings and I am going to double check them in my own studies! Next mom, dad, and I headed to A&W's were we met my sweet darling niece and nephew and Stacy and James for lunch. I am only hoping my future children are as cute as those two little ones!

after two quick stops at some stores we headed back to the farm first stopping at my house where Matt my handsome was home for a short break after a kiss and a hug and a few I love you's I ran out to the waiting parents. Chores started soon after and after milking my sweet and smelly cows I am here amazed at how much I was able to come up with to bore you all!!!!

hey hey!

wow its been forever since I have written and I know Mary wants me to add to my story but I wanted to leave it that ways so you could make up your own ending!

A lot has happened I am so glad to say I am GRADUATING!!! Finally I am not sure if I will miss it but I will see when next fall comes! I am looking forward to a summer of fun hanging out with the special people in my life having campfires and playing kick the can! The other day I was thinking how really long ago it was when we first played kick the can a warm summer night in the year of 2006 and how all our thought where so different from what they are now. I think we should have a wagon dance again who's up for that?

I am learning to appreciate all that God has given me!! It is really kinda fun to do! and yes I am starting to ramble!

talk to y'all later maybe someone will stumble upon this post and comment...........

She sighed glad to have it all out and done with she dumped the carrots into the pot simmering over the playful fire. Martha turned to look at Nathan.

"Lily, I am sorry I left you to face all this by yourself," he got up from the table and hugged her. Then he whispered in her ear "you look awful cute in that apron." Martha pulled away laughed and and fained offense as she playfully whopped him with a towel. He laughed "Thank you I deserved that and thank you for tell me your story."

"Very well thank you, I would like you to meet my wife Mrs. Jane Taylor." Christopher spoke as if we where old friends and nothing else. My heart fell into my feet "Nice to meet you" my voice shaking a little "excuse me" I turned and walked calmly away tears starting to fall but as soon as I was in the woods I ran to the meadow and plopped myself down and just cried." Nathan watched Martha peel potato's she had her head bent low so he could not see her face.

"All I ever wanted was a home a place where I could know I would never have to leave security that's what every girl wants, I had lost my secure world twice once when ma died and once when I lost who I thought was my best friend. I cried myself to sleep awaking to someone picking me up. It was Joseph he carried me home and set me in my rocking chair next to the fire. "Martha" he said "Be strong you're all dese chillen have dey look up to ya, dey love ya and dat will never change. I know wes didn't starts out on so good of terms but I've come to think of yous as a granddaughter listen ta me your smart, your pretty, and your prudent if he didn't take ya he tisn't worth havin'. "Ya don't have ta snatch da first one comin along." With that he patted my shoulder and left.

well I wasn't myself for a few weeks I soon got into a rut keeping to my close friends and family.
Although I was scared to go to town town for fear I would see him I soon plucked up the courage to go and found it got easier each time I went. And.....well....that's my story"

The Next day Dawned bright and with a few white fluffy clouds. Nathan took the gift tied a red ribbon on it think how much she would love it! The next day dawned bright with a few white fluffy clouds. Nathan took the gift with him when he walked to the garden. Martha was no where in sight he waited and waited still no smiling girl showed up. Almost in disappear he trudged to the house that he had followed her to the other day. There he found Martha Lily hanging dripping wet clothes on the line she had on an apron of lavender her hair was pulled back into two braids with a handkerchief on her head. Nathan reached in front of her with a rose and a music box in his hands. Martha gasped and turn around to face him, Nathans arms still around her. "I forgot Ian I am so sorry I have to work late at the house." He smiled and brought the gift in front of her again. She took it in her hands as her eyes glistened. Martha undid the red ribbon gracefully she smelled the rose. Smiling, she opened the box and as the figure twirled around Martha's eyes brimmed with gleaming tears. "Thank you so much I love it!" she blinked back the tears and then stepped she simply walk up the porch steps and laid the box down with care on the a small table. Walking back to her clothes basket she took out a dress and hung it on the line. "Martha, will you tell me the rest of your story, while you work?" To Martha's surprise Nathan picked up a pair of pants and attempted to hang them on the line. "Yes, Ian, I will. The house began to look like a real home I felt just like a mother hen with all her chicks. I worked at Joseph's most of the time taking the children with me to help out some. Joseph taught Philip how to hunt, trap, and fish. I finally felt I could again breath all was safe and smooth sailing was ahead." Martha sighed as she put three loaves of bread in the stove. Turning she started on the pile of dirty dishes.

"About two months after I got my family I went to town to visit and elderly lady. I often went to visit and help her, for she was old, lonely, and nice. I walked past the train station and saw Christopher I was elated I ran to greet him but right before I reached him a young woman, in the latest Paris fashion, took his arm and they laughed together. Next they started walking down the street toward me. I thought well I will turn and run maybe he won't notice me, I was to late he saw me and called out. "Miss Martha, what a pleasant surprise to see you here."

As he neared me my face grew red "How do you do Mr. Taylor?" was my graceful reply.
