OBX 2010

We're in North Carolina !! The picture that you see is my dog Cody Bear full size! (he just turned 10 months september 16th) We were taking pictures on the beach. We're gonna use a few for our christmas card. If you didnt read a couple of posts down I prayed for Cody and like 2 months later we got him. Now Im praying for another puppy that will be mine! (Cody is a family dog) If my prayer is granted Im gonna name it Rusty Bear. But if its a girl Im gonna name her Roslynn andcall her Rusty for short. MY DOG IS THE BEST!!!!This is one of my favorite pics of me n cody! -Katie

September 09 Trip to Tennessee

We went to Tennesse in September it was great! Saw lots of old time cars and bears! It was beautiful and we loved the campground we stayed at. We tubed down the river, we all went horseback riding up in the mountains. I learned that God is way bigger than me. I learned that in how big the mountains where. I thank God that He allowed me to go there and have a good time.

me and my sibs infront of the mountians!

Catch up over the pass months..

If you read my blog earlier I asked for a puppy for Christmas. Well God hears our prayers, changed my moms heart and whalaaa we got a collie puppy January 1st. His name is Cody Bear and what a God story we have on him. God is so good to us. there is a 2 week old pic and 9 weeks here.

I also got a phone for Christmas, I love it! I hate talkin on the phone so texting is so my thing.

Can I just tell you how much snow we got this year!!! Over two feet of snow. Me and Sol went sledding, well alot of us went only two times out of all that snow.

cody bear when he was a baby. Sooo adorable!

June 28th-July 4th Not Understanding Why?

We went to a summer retreat called Sandy Cove during the week of 4th of July. Mid week everything was going good until my parents sat us kids down to tell us that our greatest dog in the world died. I didnt believe it at first, I felt like I lost my best friend. I didnt understand when we left Nana she was just fine. The vet said that our dog Nana had a stroke and that her brain was not functioning. He said that every move she made hurt her and when he called her name "Nana" she didnt even move her eyes, nothing happened. The vet called my dad to say there is nothing we can do, and suggested putting her down.

Now the whole time this was going on we had no clue that our dog was dieing. In my heart I think that our parents didnt want to ruin our vacation. They told us before they left to go home and bury her and one of the camp counselors that we are close to stayed with us.

The next day I didnt want to do anything. May dad told me that I should and latter on in that day I couldnt get why God picked our family and why our dog? Why? I didnt understand why? I will never see her again. My dad explained it so clear to me, I really cant remember everything he said but what he did say stopped my crying and it gave me a peace.

Then later that day we got a called that my dad's dad, my grandfather had a heart attack. Thankfully it was a mild one but needed surgeries, it was scary. He made it through. I learned a double lesson that week. God is in control and that He knows what He is doing. I miss my dog terribly but if I had to pick who to live it would be my grandfather. I love my grandfather so much. I am asking for a puppy for Christmas.

Locks of Love....

When I first heard about Locks of Love I thought it was a great idea and really wanted to do it. But as soon as I heard the scissors, I got so nervous and started to think oh no my hair. Hair is what can make someone beautiful then as soon as I thougth about myself I realize that someone needed more than me. I must say I didnt like the idea of my hair being that short, my hair is really curly and poofy so the shorter it is the poofer it gets. Then when it was all over I hated it and a few hours later I loved it. I wrote a letter to the girl who would get my hair, along with tracts and really hoped I would get to see her in her new hair. the director sent a thank you and I really hope someone got to use my hair to help them look pretty. I hope to do it again, it really does make you feel good to make someone else happy.

I learned a great lesson on how to think of others and not yoursef. It was very hard, because it was giving my hair, not just money.
