It's all about keepin' it real here on The Sassy Classy Cowgirl and today is no exception! This here gal fits that profile to a T. Y'all give a big warm welcome to my fellow cowgirl friend!
Howdy, y'all!!
Name's Rachel.
Lets see here, how 'bout I start off with how this here lady and I became friends.
I went something like- I was blog
hoppin'. Something I try to do ever so often, and low and behold I hopped on over to The Sassy Classy Cowgirl's blog.
She seemed interesting. And she's a cowgirl! A ranch cowgirl. So, that topped it off!
I commented, and allowed her to follow my blog, and from there we e-mailed a few times, and that set it off!!
Another
wonderful thing about her is she is a Christian, I'm sure many of you
have noticed that! So, we can talk about that stuff, too, and it fits
right in! She's a sweet, funny gal, and I know that the Lord led us to
meeting for some reason. It's actually quite apparent, cause we have
things
in common and she loves the Lord!!
I did found out though, that she is shorter than I.
Yeah.
I know what you are thinking, I was shocked, too!
I
was also slightly bummed! I have always, and I mean always, wanted a
friend that was as tall as me, or maybe taller. Well, she informed me
that she is oh, 5' 2". Well, I'm 5' 9" and a little. I never have had a
tall friend.
I was hoping that, by looking at pictures, that her hubby was a giant! Haha!
Nope. I guess he's not.
But, I suppose I shall get over it! ;) How 'bout it?! :P
I
also wish she lived, oh, about 864 miles closer. Cause I think we'd
have a blast! Though, I kinda wish that about a few other fellow
bloggers. Such is life.
I really am glad that she and I have gotten to know each other more, and I look forward to the many years of being a friend!!
Though, I tend to want to have my friends all to myself.... so back off!!!
Oh, just kidding! I guess you can be her friend too. ;)
Well, I reckon I'm 'sposed to talk about me.... So, let see.....
I'm
a cowgirl, through and through, and my Hubby and I are cattle ranchers
in Texas. We have three precious little BOYS! And, they are so much fun!
The hubby and I have known each other about 10 years now, and been
married for 5 years, this October will be 6!! Whoot, whoot!
I
am a ranchin'
mama, I do it all, from changing diapers and feeding cow kids, to
draggin' calves to the fire for markin', and I wouldn't want it any
other way!
We
love this way of life, though it's a busy one! But, here we are, the
Lord has blessed us, and we will follow Him through it all!!! His grace
is plentiful, and something that everyone should think of daily. I have
to remind myself of it, too. Our God is good!
I
blog, but it's private, I just don't like creepers much, so I like it
like the way it is! But, if you aren't a creeper I'd love to have more
readers! I tend to blog about our day to day happenings, and some of my
random thoughts, and just life out here being a ranchin' mama!
A
shout out to Mrs. Candy- Thanks for having me up, sweet lady! I feel vera, vera special!! ;)
Y'all,
this gal is great, she has a big 'o heart, and you should hear her
southern accent.... wowzers. She is a southern gal. And she thinks it's
truly funny how us Texans say calves.... keeves. ;)
Rachel I am so glad the Lord sent me a straight talkin', cattle wranglin', ranchin' momma, Jesus lovin' friend...He knew I needed you.
Has the Lord put a friend in your life at just the right time?
