Life is CRAZY!!!
I was so excited for summer to come, but I kinda regret that, because of the horribly hot weather. Cant wait for everything that's going to happen in July! Here are all the family birthdays: My country's, 4Th, My mom's, 6Th, my dog's, 7Th, mine, 17Th, my brother's, 18Th, and my sister's, 20Th. LOTS of birthdays!
We've adopted 3 geese (the others have flown away) the geese will be year round residents since their poor wings are broken:(.
I just got back from a week with my grandparents. And my 7yr old cousin is down for a visit.
See ya later!

Canadian Geese

2010-05-20T09:55:00.000-07:00

We have 2 families of Canadian Geese living on our pond, I only have one family's pictures because at the time the other family was still on their nest. This family had 9 goslings, but now they only have 7:(.
The mother is in the front leading and the father is in the back protecting.
They're so small in these pictures, they've grown so much!!!! I'll post more up-to-date pictures of BOTH families soon.

Adoption

2010-04-06T13:45:00.000-07:00

So everyone who knows my family, knows we've always wanted more children in it.Sooo, we are in the adoption process to get more. It has been very exciting knowing we're getting more kids! Every few nights my parents have to go to these health classes like tonight they have a class on how to do CPR.
Me, personally would love to adopt 5 kids (I already have 2 siblings)but, my parents about don't know about that;)
You can see more about the whole process on my moms blog-

Yeah!!!!!!! It's here.....(drumroll).....SPRING!
I had a wonderful first day of spring, a bright, sunny, 74 degree weather, type of day. What do you think I did, well.... pumped up my bicycle tire, and rode all through out the day. And if not doing that I was doing yard work.
Later on I got to go spring shopping. Sorry I have no pictures of what I bought but I'll try telling you.
-a neon yellow t-shirt with a tiger on it
-a gray t-shirt with LOL written on it
-two as my mom would say "very 70's" shirts
-some jean Capri's
-pinstriped shorts
That's about all.
Hoped you all had a great first day of spring:)

Dating or Courtship?

2010-01-28T10:07:00.000-08:00

Remember, this is just my opinion, but I believe in courting over dating. There is nothing wrong with desiring the opposite sex, God created us to be this way and it is a beautiful and wonderful gift when used in the way God intended. So, how did God intend us to use these feelings? The bible does not give us any information on dating, but it does give us insight to marriage when it says, "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh." Genesis 2:24 and Matthew 19:5. And in Ephesians 5:3 "But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people."
So, what is dating anyway?
Dating is when two people go out together either alone or with others with no immediate intent of marriage. After they have gone out together a few times, the relationship seems to naturally move to the next "phase in the relationship" and you may want to kiss or other stuff. It is this part when you feel pressure and there is usually nobody there to help you out, so you may go ahead and "kiss". Once you have done this the first time, it doesn't seem so bad, so you keep doing it or maybe even advancing to the "next level of the relationship". You feel fine, until you break up and then you feel terrible. So, how do you deal with your pain? You find all the negative things about that person, so you don't feel so bad about losing them. When the next person comes along, you have already sized up all the unappealing things about them before they have the chance to "dump" you, so it won't sting so bad. Also, it is easier to "move to the next level of the relationship" because you have already been there and done that. You have lost part of your innocence.
Once Mr. or Mrs. Right finally does come along, you are jaded and find all the unappealing things about them before the relationship really even starts. This can lead to fights and divorce. The beautiful gift that God intended marriage to be has now been beaten up to the point that you don't even recognize it as a gift. You don't look at your spouse with the same adoration you saw in your "first" love or have the same innocence you had back then, it is lost forever.
That is not to say that you can't have a good or great marriage if you chose to date, it just makes it more challenging.
God gives us commands to benefit us and himself. It may seem harsh and unrealistic to wait until you are married, but God will bless that obedience. It will save us heartache and save us from being disciplined.
So, what is courting?
Courting is when two people who are ready to get married see each other with family or a friend around to chaparone. Courting is when the man will go to the woman's house, and eat dinner with the family. This way your parents will get to know them and so will the man get to know your family, that way there's no nightmare in-laws. Also, you wont feel pressure to have to kiss that person if you don't want to. The girl's father protects her from being in an uncomfortable position because he will end it if the girl is not interested and protect her from unwanted contact.Courting is a good way to find that Mr./Mrs. right. Your heart wont get broken and you keep your body pure for your future spouse, the way God intended. That adoration you have for your first love will always be for your spouse and you won't look for the negative in him or try to keep your heart from getting broken, you will trust each other without fear.
Think about this, back in the 1900s and down people courted back then and you hardly ever heard of someone getting a divorce, but now you nearly hear it all the time about people getting a divorce.
Remember this was just my opinion on dating or courting. Thank you so much for taking your time to read this.
I would love to hear your opinions on the matter in a Christ like way.

My new dog, Gunnar

2009-11-12T10:11:00.001-08:00

I'm so sorry for not posting in forever. I'm going through a crazy move, but during the move I got a new puppy. He just turned 4 months old. He's a cutie!!!! Just look at these pictures. He's a labradoodle, poodle mixed with lab. Trust me, he may have an adorable face, but he definitely inherited the lab part when it comes to chewing, but he's so funny, for example, he just learned how to jump up on the couch, so when you go to sit down he races you and jumps right in the spot just before you sit. He also tilts his head to the left or right when you make a funny noise. I can't forget to tell you he just goes ballistic when he sees my dad's drill.(It's just a sight)

The weekend

2009-02-02T15:06:00.000-08:00

The weekend can be so crazy, trust me, I know, thanks to this weekend. First, I had two games this weekend, praise the Lord, my team won both. Before my game on Sunday, Sabree came down the slide (the wrong way) and broke her front permanent teeth, so my mom and poor Breebree had to spend the whole Sunday at the dentist.

Sorry

2009-01-15T06:01:00.000-08:00

I'm so sorry I haven't posted in forever, but I'm proud of getting two new baby cousions, a girl, Bella, and a boy, Cole, sadly I only have pictures of Bella.
Bella and her sissy Ali.

Happy 1st b-day Ali :)

2008-10-21T10:39:00.000-07:00

October 23 is my almost one year old cousin, Ali's birthday, but they decided to have the party on the 18th. So, since we were invited we went down to where they live in good'ol Tennessee. My poor Nana was in the hospital, so first we visited her, then bunked up with my 2 year old cousin, Ashtion (who is an abslute cutie). When we got to the party my cousin Ali, as adorable as could be, was dressed in a white onesie with this huge pink tou-tou and leggins. Can you picture that? Then when it was cake time, they had this little pooh bear cake just for Ali. So, after we sang the happy birthday song, she got to dig right in her cake. All in all, it was a great trip.

I LOVE MY MOM

2008-09-30T09:36:00.000-07:00

I love my mom, she is the best. I am so happy to have her as my Mom and I would never want another. She is so wise and discerning and I know that when she disciplines me, it is because she loves me and wants the best for me.

(Just kidding, this was posted by Seviann's mom, not Seviann. Although, I am sure she would agree with every word. LOL) Okay, Seviann, I will stay off your blog.

I love you, my darling, I wish you blessings with your blog. May it always be pleasing in God's eyes.

Proverbs 23:12 Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge

First timer

2008-09-27T08:53:00.000-07:00

(This is my first time blogging, so sorry if it's not perfect.)I was so exited to get this blog, I couldn't help scream like 10 times (I'm not kidding) when my mom was helping me make it. I had it all planned, the blog name, my layout, and well everything. After the talk of all the rules, she told me "have a good time honey", so as I was getting ready, I forgot one tiny little thing, what was I going to write. I guess I got so exited, I forgot what to write about! I was thinking, "nice going Seviann." As I thought about what to write, for what seemed like forever, I finally thought of a title. It took a lot of time to think up this idea, I'm calling it "First Timer." What do you think? God Bless you! Psalm 106:1 Give thanks to the Lord,for he is good; his love endures forever.
