Spring

......Or is it???  It didn't really look like spring here the past days. We were back down to mid 20's and snow!! If you woulda asked me 2 weeks ago if summer was coming soon I probably would have said yes. But I guess God wants us to be a little bit more patient sometimes!

Anyway this is what I've been up to the last few weeks...



 
And no....this was not me this time!! It was dad! He just made me get the tractor n pull him out! I thought it was just to funny so I had to take some pictures!! ha! But the pics don't look near as bad as it was...that thing was stuck, big time, I didn't think we'd get it out!

 
Southern Spring National Holstein Show in Stillwater Oklahoma. Loads of fun! The wonderful smell of the cattle barns. Nice looking cows. Being with my family. Showing your special show cows. ect, ect. :)


 

 
Showing 2 of my cows that we took down. (ok their not all mine...Its a partnership deal with some friends of mine) ;) They'd probably have some words to say to me if I'd say they were all mine!!!


 
Went up to my uncles to visit a few of my heifers I have up there. I hadn't seen them in such a long time! They had grown up so much and are turning into really nice looking animals...I'm pretty excited about them.

 
My latest purchase!! :) She's a really sweetie!

 I've probably bored ya'll with my cows, so I'll stop now. (altho I could have gone into much greater detail, and if your interested lemme no! :))

 
So heres a pic of Rae's and I!

Changes

Yup big changes! I'm moving...to Fairbury, Illinois, in less than a month. Who would have ever thought? Definitely was not in my plans to be doing, or ever doing! But God had a different plan in mind, and I know its a greater plan than I could have ever come up with. But if it would have been my choice, Illinois would have been definitely not on the top of my list. Don't get me wrong I love the people, but it's just a little to fast paced for me, has no dirt roads or even gravel for that matter, and there's lots n lots of people and towns and houses! :) A little different from what I'm used to here in Bern, Kansas! But I'm getting more excited. It's going to be a big adjustment tho. I'm gonna miss my dear, crazy, awesome, maybe a little odd at times, Family so much! And my wonderful friends, whom I will dearly miss! But don't worry I will be home a lot!....I think! :) And the big open spaces where you can't see anything or anyone for miles around

Back in Kansas | week 1

Image
Yes, I'm home.  Yes, I miss Bukeka. Yes, I'm cold. Yes, I miss it. Yes, it went fast. Yes, I learned a lot. No, I won't be able to explain it all right now.  One of my friends on the other side thought it was funny how I numbered my weeks while I was in Uganda, but then he suggested I should do the same thing when I get back home too. Praising God for the most incredible past 7 months and also for the safe journey back home on Tuesday.  You know I am praising Jesus so much, my first week at home couldn't have gone better. I was nervous and anxious about coming home, and still am a little with the weeks ahead. But God has been so faithful to me. I'm 100% confidant its the prayers prayed on my behalf with this transition. Yes I'm lonely for my kids and all that Suubi was to me, but so far the transition home has been so smooth. Maybe it helps that I could jump right back into working, and that I got to come home to two of my sibling

Tribute to Richard

Image
        I don't know if it was more of a honor to know such a man, work for him, or speak at his Rosary service, but people like Richard don't come around very often and I for one feel so blessed to be touched by his life.         We tend to say that Richard lost his battle with brain cancer, but what really happened is that he won. He gained the greatest victory on Monday, July 6th, 2020 and is now living the best life and I am so jealous. He was so ready to go and his last few weeks were such a testimony to me. Patiently  and eagerly  waiting to leave this earth and his physical pain. That's how I want to be.         I’ve been blessed to have many wonderful and incredible examples and mentors in my 25 years thus far, but out of all of them, Richard outweighs them all. He was a silent example in so many ways and I think I can say along with many other young people that even though Richard didn’t have any children of his own, he was like a father figure to so many of us.
