The Writin's of a Barefoot Okie

Dec. 27, 2007 - Christmas

I wasn't able to post on Christmas, but I hope everybody had a wonderful HolyDay.

My mom came over to my dad's house Christmas morning, and we opened presents and she spent the day with us. It was cool being able to celebrate at the same time with my entire immediate family. I think I was 11 the last time I got to spend all of Christmas Day with both parents. Anyone who is still is able to do that, consider yourself very blessed.

Anyways, I know the holiday is not all about gifts, but I got some really good ones. I got 3 books that I had been wanting. I got 2 by Beverly Lewis, and I got "Chicken Soup for the Horse Lover's Soul."  I was also given a very nice new watch, Swap, (it's a card game) a few hair things, some earrings, a new shirt, several pairs of  socks ( I needed some!) and the hugest surprise of the day, a digital camera! I got a Kodak EasyShare C613, I absoloutely love it! It's super easy to use, and the picture quality is very good. My  very kind (sometimes) brother also got a new horse halter for me.

So, now I will be able to post more pix on my blog,  yay!

Kitten Update: We took the girl (Star) and the runt boy (Wheezer) to walmart on the 23rd. They were sooo easy to give away! I was worried about Wheezer, I wanted him to go to a good home and I also wanted him to be an inside cat, because he has respiratory problems. A really awesome thing happened!

Sunday morning I prayed a lot that I would find a good home for him.   Well, the second person to look at the kittens told me she was looking for a male cat to give to her grandma. Her grandpa had died about a year before and her Grandma said recently that she needed a cat. So, the lady tells me that she had been praying to find the right kitten. I asked her if she was a Christian and she was, and I told her that I was one, and had been praying for him to go a good home. She ended up taking him! I just find it so cool that we had both been prayinng. God is so amazing!

Yesterday, the woman ( I keep forgetting to ask her name) called me ( I had given her my number just incase the cat did not work out) and she told me that her grandma just loved him, and he had helped her a lot already. I was really glad she called and told me that. At first, I thought she was calling to say she needed me to take him back.
