Life stops for now

I'm in GA for my infusion, #20 I think. 

I am exhausted. My mom woke me up this morning to tell me that my sister had shot and killed her boyfriend last night......so many overwhelming emotions. I mourn for the man who lost his life and cannot begin to imagine his daughter and his parents heartache this morning. My heart breaks for my nephew when he has to be told what's happened...for my parents and their guilt knowing that their child killed someone else. I don't know what happened yet, I only know she shot and killed him and she is being charged with first degree murder, and from what I could look up on the Internet (not the best source, but my only availability as I sat for my infusion this morning answering family phone calls and trying to get our bearings), she will have life in prison or the death penalty. I feel like I'm in a bad movie............ Prayers are needed for ALL involved in the horror. 

Happy Grandparents Day!

Happy Grandparent's Day!!! 

Here is our pics from Grandparent's Day Picnic at our school. Papa came to see Tip and Bebe came to see Ella McCray. Being far from my family, I'm glad we have my in laws....but I still miss my mom and dad too. We love you DoeDoe and Pa and Bee:)

I'm also happy to say that I'm still feeling great and enjoying my job (or mission) teaching first grade in a wonderful Christian school. God is so good!

First Dove Hunt

The kids were excited to go to their first dove hunt. Around here, this is a big event and a part of life. All the men disappear during hunting season; be it squirrel, dove, turkey, deer, or duck. And after having kids, Cliff gave up hunting while the kids were small and while I was sick (with my lupus) so now that the kids are getting older, Cliff was ready to introduce them to hunting. We went to one of our good friends annual dove hunt. They cook and have tables and t.v.'s set up out in the middle of a few fields. It was great. Tip enjoyed shooting and retrieving the dead doves with Cliff and Ella McCray enjoyed playing with her friend Ann Charlotte. 

Today is Labor Day and we have no plans:) And I'm so glad....the only thing we did today was watch Cliff and his friend Clay move a couple more of our horses over to a new area they had finished fencing recently. I grew up riding horses, and after Cliff breaks these, I hope my kids will have the same memories and love of animals that I grew up with.
