We're Here!!

We are finally here. The Horton's officially arrived in Brownfield on Saturday. I am glad to have finally made it! We unpacked enough for the girls to start school on Tuesday. They had a very good day and seemed to enjoy being Meadow Broncos!!

They girls looked so cute in their "Normal" clothes, as Mady would say. I have gotten so used to seeing them in their uniforms it was nice to have a change!!!

Moving...What an adventure!!

I am not enjoying moving. I have moved several times, since I have been married, and more especially since my husband has been a minister. I still, however, do not enjoy moving!! Packing and more packing and more packing. Where did all this junk come from? I have cleaned out and organized until I am tired of taking out the trash. Our neighbors think we are crazy because in the city we have to place all of our trash on the curb and the trash truck comes by on Tuesday and Friday morning to haul it off. This last week it looked like the trash truck had unloaded on our front lawn. CRAZY!!! One positive aspect of all of the re-organizing is I am getting rid of a lot of stuff and that always makes it easier to stay organized.

I have tried to be organized in our move, but in inevitably I pack a box and then find something else that should have gone in that box. I am not sure there is a way to stay completely organized, unless you hire a moving company. Oh well, one can dream. I am just thankful it will all be over on Saturday. Eric and Mom and Dad will be coming to get us on Friday and we will officially be WEST TEXANS again. But that is another post!!!!!

Who says you can't go Home again?

Life is full of adventures. My life just took another turn. My husband and our girls and I will be moving back to Brownfield. I am very excited to live close to my family again. I miss out on so many activities and memories with my family!! My nephews and I are going to have so much fun together!!

Mr. and Mrs Michael Slaughter

On December 13 my little brother married the love of his life, Kelsey. I was so honored to be a part of this wedding. My sister and I and our husbands served as bridesmaids and groomsmen. We had to much fun. Eric helped in officiating the ceremony. He and I got a little teary eyed when we thought about how Michael was only 10 years old when we got married. How time flies. I am so happy for Michael and Kelsey. I pray they have many years of honeymoon bliss and a lot of laughs!!!!

The Whole Slaughter Clan!!

Kayla and me and Hudson!!

Hudson and Aunt Chelle. We had a blast together!!

I Love this picture!! He is just wondering what in the world everyone is doing looking at him!!

'Twas The Night Before Christmas!!

*Twas the month before Christmas*

*When all through our land,*

*Not a Christian was praying*

*Nor taking a stand.*

*See the PC Police had taken away,*

*The reason for Christmas - no one could say.*

*The children were told by their schools not to sing,*

*About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.*

*It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say*

* December 25th is just a' Holiday'.*

*Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit*

*Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!*

*CDs from Madonna, an XBOX, an I-pod*

*Something was changing, something quite odd! *

*Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa*

*In hopes to sell books by Franken& Fonda.*

*As Targets were hanging their trees upside down*

* At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found.*

*At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears*

*You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.*

*Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty*

*Are words that were used to intimidate me.*

*Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen*

*On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton!*

*At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter*

*To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.*

*And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith*

* Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace*

*The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded*

*The reason for the season, stopped before it started.*

*So as you celebrate 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream Tree'*

*Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.*

*Choose your words carefully, choose what you say*

*Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS , not Happy Holiday!*

Please, all Christians join together and
wish everyone you meet
MERRY CHRISTMAS


Christ is The Reason for the Christ-mas Season!
