::back to the grind::

I must say, its good to be home, but, and yes, there is always a but, things are as boring as ever. We are all rather discontent and bored around here, and we all hate it. I need something to do. Something I WANT to do, not math, or drawing, or sewing, I'm really getting tired of those things...Thats why I'm thankfull that God gave us a new member of the family! Here she is, her name is Ellie, and she is SO beautiful! We are all going to enjoy her so much.

She will be 3 years in August, she is very sweet and gentle. She has not been broken yet, but right now we are just bonding with her. I think today marks a week that she had been with us (i've olny known her for4 days of course). I can't wait to ride her, if things go well, and she behaves, we might be able to ride her in acouple months, most would be like 6 months. That seems like an awful long time, but it will go by quickly..wow, by then I'll be 17! Craziness..Mom had been diong more than bonding with Ellie tho, like, teaching her how to walk by you and not lean on you (she's a REALLY smart cookie) and throwing a blanket on her, letting her sniff the sadle. Today I'm hoping to wash her down, the fly's have really been bugging her (no pun intended!) and my Unlce Lewis, the guy who gave her to us, said that she likes being washed down with a hose. I love to just go out and sit on the fence and brush her and talk to her. Right now she is in kinda a toot cos she realized she has neighbor horses. The people who live in front of us have 5 horses, and they like to talk to Ellie, and she talks back, and it makes her really upset cos she is used to being with other horses. Mom said that if Ellie behaves, that in a year or so, we might get her a buddie. Eventually mom wants a horse for us all, so that we can go riding together. We'll see.
So. Its OFFICIAL. I NEED COW BOY BOOTS!!!!! I've been wanting some for a loonnngg time, and now,there is a good reason to get some! I hate putting my rubbers on every time I go out, plus they are WAY to hot for the summer time.
I went swimming again yesterday, the water is STILL to cold tho, not sure if I will go today, tho is is finally hot and sunny out ^_^
..this boredom thing is really getting to me! I normally dont go to town with mom when she goes. But I am going with her today...just for something to do. Wow. this is really sad. Ok. I'm gonna stop the pity party and move on with life. Things are not really that bad. Well. they are. But I'll pretend like they are not. It would really help if we had some freinds. I mean we have plenty of adult freinds, and a few kid friends...but not any that we REALLY like and want to be around..and that my parents want us around... Ezra's best friend  is leaving on Wednesday to go live in Florida with his family, and my best friend is 4 hours away! Right now we could both use some good christian freinds. Thats hard to find now days. We are all praying for some friend right now, and I know God will provide them at the right time. And Josie, if your reading this, I want you to know I really like you and am thankful for you. But we HAVE to get together more often, lol..Ok, I better go get myself looking decent to go into town..haha, not like u have to look good at all to go into Fredericktown. ;)
Here is another pic of Ellie ^_^

And now I'm off for today! Happy Memorial day everybody!!! <3
