Christmas...LOVE IT!!

Tonight was the Gauntt Christmas Open House and Jeremy and I along with Brayden ventured out and enjoyed the company.  Tomorrow, Tanner has a basketball tournament in Hereford and the entire family will be taking part in cheering the team on.  I am enjoying the fact that I am home for the time and that I can spend quality time with my little ones.

I hope that each of you has a great weekend!!

Try it again

I realize that it has been nearly 3 months since I have posted on the blog...even though I promised that I was going to do better.  It is always promised with the best intentions.  Life has gotten crazy but that shouldn't be an excuse.  I have found this wonderful sight called "Pinterest" and I must say that it consumes my time almost as much as FaceBook does.  There are lots of interesting things to be found here and I have included one blog that I am now following and hoping that I can put some of those ideas to good use.  I hope each of you has a great day and a blessed holiday season.

Matthew 1:23 "Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel"

Football 2011

Tomorrow starts the next to last semester for me at Wayland Baptist University.  I am really excited to be so close to finishing and starting a new chapter in my life.  We took pictures Friday evening for the Bulldog website which is http://www.plainviewdogpoundfootball.com/ and of course I will include one of the pictures that was taken.

One week from tomorrow starts the 2011-2012 school year and both Tanner and Emily are really ready to start back and see what is in store.  Emily has cheer camp this week and then we have Meet the Bulldogs Thursday night at the stadium.  Hope that all of you close enough to Plainview will come out and support our boys.  I am truly looking forward to this year's football season...can't wait to see what is in store for this year's team.

Wright Family 2011 Football Season

I hope that each of you has a great week and that God has many blessings in store for each of you.

Psalms 40:2-4 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

and so it begins...

Well, I am little late posting the beginning of football season but I am excited to say that we are a week into practice and things are busy...yesterday was the first day of full pads in practice and today was Bulldog Alley and the watermelon feed. It was exciting to see the boys out there hitting each other and getting excited about the upcoming season. This evening we had our annual coaching family get together...SOO much food and such great fellowship. The kids have such a great time hanging out in the pool and playing water football...it is just never-ending.

Tomorrow is Sunday and so we will be up and at it early for church and then to come home and get ready for another work week. I ask for prayers as there will be auditors in the building on Monday to make sure that we are following federal guidelines...also this week, Emily will be registered for school and I just can't believe that she will be starting kindergarten, my how time does fly when we are having fun.

Jeremy and I truly believe that God has kept us in Plainview for a reason and that whatever that reason may be, we accept it and look forward to the many blessings that will be coming our way. I will end this blog with this favorite Bible passage

Psalms 25:1-7 "Unto thee Oh Lord, do I lift up my soul. Oh my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause. Show me thy ways oh Lord; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation: on thee do I wait all the day. Remember Oh Lord thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindness; for they have been ever old. Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, Oh Lord."

I hope that everyone has a great week and that everyone's football season is a great one!!

A new promise

So after I promised nearly a year ago that I was going to do my best to keep up with the blog and then for some odd reason, I had a really hard time following through with that promise. I am going to do my best to at least post once a month on the blog. I will end this post with a few new pictures and a wishes of a great upcoming season.
