saying goodbye...

Dear Readers,

I had to say goodbye in the last week, and it was harder than I thought. I had been up and down and all around in my car, but the time had come to wish it farewell.

 
 You see, I am a serious commuter. I drive close to two hours daily on this road...


 which happens to be where these fellows roam and play...


  
Cowboy was worried about this happening....


so he decided I needed something bigger, higher, and stronger. He has had issues with Subaru cars and the stigma that comes with them as long as I've know him. He almost thought twice about dating me, because well, I drove a Subaru. Silly Willy! Well, after considering all of our options and thinking about which vehicle might fit our needs the best, we ended up at the Subaru dealership. We are now very 'proud' owners of this gem...

 I know it doesn't look bigger, higher, and stronger...but oh, it is. It single handily changed cowboy's mind about Subaru cars. He thinks it's cool, and I might think the same thing. Here is to increased clearance and safety, and a warm bum.

Here's another great announcement. Evan is getting married!
He is marrying a Hannah girl, and I am very excited for their upcoming nuptials.


May she always be allowed to wear ear plugs whenever she wants.

 I also feel like this is worth sharing, even if it is a vain item to blog about. I purchased and wore floral skinny pants. My cowboy doesn't know yet, and I am sure kind words will flow from his mouth when he sees them for the first time. My mom was with me when they were discovered and purchased, and her encouragement was just what I needed. They make me smile, and I just read in my scriptures that every good thing comes from God. I believe this even applies to a fun pair of modest clearance pants.


They just might go great with my muck boots too, the bogs. 

Who knew chores and manure could be faced with such floral fashion.

Sincerely,
the accidental Arco girl

Cowboy Take Me Away

My friend Rebecca gave me the charge to post pictures of someone important in my life. I am not good at blogging, but because I like Rebecca and because she lives all the way in Texas, I will oblige. It all started back when I was born. I was born into a family with many interesting and wonderful dynamics. One aspect of my life that many don't recognize is that I love riding horses. I am not an expert equestrian, but those amazing animals were part of my childhood. My mom's dad is a horseman, and my mom is a cowgirl. I grew up riding and I think I have some of my grandpa and mom's horse blood in me. High school came along and with it so did the Dixie Chicks' song, "Cowboy take me away." I loved the song so much I even learned the words to it, which doesn't occur very often for me. That's another story though. Its words portray a picture of what seemed like a nice future at the time - a cowboy, boots, hard work, kissing and howling into the moonlight, a

it finally happened...

well folks, it finally happened. he picked up the ring, he popped the question, he talked to my dad, and i said yes.

It's been awhile....

I think there are three of you who read my blog. You're all a big deal though, so I decided to write again for you three people. I am hoping this post may be slightly therapeutic too, because I sure need some of that. We are on week five of our school year, and it seems like every time I get slightly comfortable something occurs that makes me very uncomfortable. I won't divulge too many details, but needless to say I came away feeling violated, disgusting, and not very trusting. Luckily for me, the scriptures had just the right answers when I needed them most. I am reading about Mormon in the actual book of Mormon. He is dealing with the Nephites who are described as being so disobedient that Mormon doesn't give a full account "that ye might not have too much sorrow because of the wickedness of this people." (Mormon 5: 9) Sound like a world we live in? Mormon previously states a perfect description of my feelings of this "wicked" state when he shares his
