July-August

When Dave and Nat come home they tend to bring a game called "how to host a murder" it's played over dinner and everybody plays a character. They are given clues about who murdered somebody and have to figure out through this process who that actual murderer is. We played with Mom, Dad, Dave, Nat, Mike Chris, Keith and I. Mom was a woman who's 13 sons had been killed by the Sheriff, played by my father. Christy was the town...dance hall girl shall I say? Mike was an indian chief. Nat was a 3 time widower. Dave was the new handsome sherriff. Keith was the new mysterious man in town, and I was a female outlaw who killed men for fun... hmm weird I know, but it was so fun. My sister ended up being the murderer =)
Keith by the New Mexico sign. We went to a water park in Texas and took this on the way home... we missed the sign coming in on our actual first entrance to the state.
This is one of the beautiful buildings in Santa Fe. We kind of took a little detour to old downtown to see the old buildings and it was really beautiful.
My nephew Mitchell went to a birthday party and the theme was pirates. He wanted to take a picture since he figured out that my computer had a webcam on it. =) I sent it to grandma nana (my mom)
This is miss brooke. She is the cutest thing but is very tempermental about who holds her. She's also the biggest eater I have ever seen. She eats as much as some girls my age. She seriously ate 2 pieces of pizza by herself one night. Then she ate pork chops and an entire ear of corn. =)



This past month or so has been one of the hardest times ever. I guess I've been trying to figure life out which is not something I can really control. It's hard to let God do it though and I'm still struggling for now. I am not home anymore and I know that eventually New Mexico will feel like home, but I'm not feeling it right now. I miss all the people who have been with me all my life and as much as I am excited for what is to come, it's so hard to say goodbye and not be able to just phone them up and ask them to meet me somwhere. I'm going to make it and will all be fine, but just pray for encouragement if you would.
