A Fall Trip!

Dear Readers,

We had the privilege to go with some wonderful friends to North Carolina to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park in Cataloochee North Carolina to see the elk and hear them "bugle"!!  We got to see a lot of elk and some really close which was sooooooo exciting!!! Plus we got to see some historic places such as an old house and church ect.  and also fellowship with our wonderful friends :)

The beautiful view of the mountains!

The creek 

We got to visit an old house which was on the property.

The kids with one of the friends
The picture quality isn't the best :( 


The house from the street

There was the beautiful barn across the house and of course my mother (and theirs) wanted a picture :)



A beautiful church! This church had wonderful acoustics and we had so much fun singing in it!

Now I'm sure you dyeing to see some pictures of the elk so here you go! 

This is a male elk, he was huge! 

This one loved getting the attention of the people.
(He would stand there and eat maybe look for a moment at us and continue eating)


We saw some female elk but it was to dark to take pictures  :(  I'm sorry!
This elk really was bothering my mom!!!!!!!!!!!  :0


As the sun began to set we started our trip home, we had so much fun and were blessed to spend time with our friends and to see God's awesome creation!!!! I hope you have enjoyed the pictures! Also Happy Fall Y'all!!!!!!!!

Your Friend,

I have come to realize the importance of good friends that can come alongside you and keep you accountable and encourage you.  This past year the Lord has brought such a wonderful friend into my life. As we have been encouraging each other to use the powerful tool of prayer, we decided we could craft a prayer board in order to remind us and encourage us to pray daily. I highly recommend doing this as a family or church craft. What a wonderful way to lift up the requests of our brethren and ourselves!  I was able to introduce my friend to the wonderful store of Hobby Lobby! We may have spent a lot of money, however, it was for a good cause!  I do believe they turned out very nicely! I would encourage you to ask people for prayer requests. Prayer is such a powerful tool and we are called to use it.  Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay...

Sisters!

God created this amazing relationship called sisters.  We live together, play together, fight together, worship together and grow up together.  I have two sisters and its been so much fun to become closer through the years.  We aren't just sisters--we are best friends and no matter what happens we will always be there for each other.  I'm not sure when this picture was but it was around 2011-2013 Bess and I at her last recital las May Grabbing lunch during our home remodel. This picture was taken in April of last year And this is a recent picture, taken on my grandmothers birthday. All I can say is I thank God for my sisters and all my family. Your Friend, Haviland~

Simpsonville Mud Run!

Dear Friends, We have had such an exciting day!!  Today My sis (Bess)  and I, along with some friends, participated in the Simpsonville Mud Mania! Also known as a....... Mud Run!!! We had sooooo much fun! Our team was called the Hobbits (can you guess why? lol) Left to Right is: Sarah Kelly, Chloe Patterson, Me and My sis Bess.  Getting ready to start! My family (including my brother Camilo) was so sweet as to  come out in the rain, & early in the morning to cheer us on. And off we go!!  Our run had 24 obstacles and the course was about 3.5 miles. The obstacles included: climbing up dirt mounds, crawling in trenches full of dirty water, swimming though deeper trenches, crawling under an army jeep, crawling under logs, walking over logs, climbing steep mud hills, scaling an 10. ft. wall, and a large waterfall-- just to name a few. It took us about an 1 and a half to compete because we walked most of it. LOL Having so much f...
