Pics and stuff

I am back from my trip to Illinois. I am very happy to say that my little brother, Jeff, is feeling much better. Today the stiches will be removed, and after talking to him last night, I feel that he will find the whole experience some new adventure.
Here he is, along w/ Nessa, and myself, the day after his accident.




My trip home was a surprise for most of my family, and I am so glad I was able to pull it off. My dad and Janessa were such a big help. Mom's reaction was great, but I think the best reaction was that of my brother, Joseph. He was studying for his mid-terms, and didn't hear me come in. I ran back to his bedroom, threw open the door, and yelled, "JOSEPH!" Poor kid! He jumped, looked at me, and then started saying, "congratulations"! His reaction was so random, that I am convinced that I really shocked him.


While home, I was also able to meet Janessa's new horse, Selah. She's beautiful! I was so excited to see the joy on Janessa's face. She has wanted a horse for as long as I can remember, and to see that dream come true was truly amazing.

I'll hope to get some better pics of Selah soon. She wouldn't hold still long enough for me to get many good shots:) Here I am trying to keep her nose to the camera for a few seconds.



There's an update for all of you:)

  • Julie,

    That picture with Selah... you look like some of your baby pictures! You are so cute! LOL

    Am I the only person who thinks that?

  • Actually, I thought she looked rather cute too. :)

  • Yes, she looks very cute in that picture (though, I wouldn't necessarilly say that it looks like her baby pictures). I think by the time we took that picture we were both laughing because my horse was acting like the hyperactive two-year-old that she is. She definitely can't hold still for more than about a second (if I'm lucky).

  • Selah is gorgeous - very refined head. What breed is she?

    (sorry, that's the horsegirl in me . . .)

    I'm glad you had a good trip!

  • Definitely cute! The horse is handsome too, but you're definitely cute! I was so glad to hear that you were able to pull off the surprise. : )
