Pretty Thrifty in Camo

  Hi everybody! So this week I have some big news. Some of you who live around me already know, and some I have yet to talk to about it, but most of you have no idea the changes my family has been going through as of late. About a month or so ago, my dad asked me if I could keep a secret. I said yes, and he proceeded to tell me that someone had recently called him out of the blue and asked him if he would like to take over a restaurant... as in owning it. YEAH! He didn't tell me which restaurant it was, only that it was in town. So I prayed. My dad is an entrepreneur, so he has had a hand in a lot of small businesses over the years. This was, and is, a little unpredictable. But we were praying for God's will to be done.
   So, Friday the 28th was Dad's last day of work, and we open the 21st this month. It seems crazy to us. But! We prayed for God's will, and this is where He has led us. God gave me confirmation and reassurance today at Church and it was really encouraging. God is so faithful. I really love Him.












Amy and I had our first 4-H photography meeting Friday. I think it helped us both with technical stuff. Tell me what you think of our photographs today. I took the ones of Amy, and she took the ones of me. Enjoy!
I kissed him... 
he didn't turn into a Prince...
just a Tiger.

Check out my blog list. I added a new member: Raindrops on Roses and Whiskers on Kittens. I freaked out when I saw her profile picture was Anne. I'm an Anne of Green Gables fan! Of course.

    That is exciting news. Congrats to your Dad. You will learn a lot through this process. I was in 4-H (animals, not photography). It is a wonderful program. You make friends for a lifetime. Visiting from Mama Moments.

    You're in for an experience! My parents own their own business as well, most the time it's a blessing- but a lot of work as well!
    You look great in brown btw!
