Home Town Visit

This weekend, we went back to Manning for a little family visit. We really enjoyed it and were able to have a great visit. My dog in Manning, Herschel, hated Scout and would not have any thing to do with him. I think he was jealous that I brought another dog around. By the second day, he nipped Scout in the nose and Scout figured out that he better not mess with Herschel.



We went out to my granddaddy's pond at the farm, which is where Ryan and I got engaged. It is beautiful out there. Here are some pics of the scenery:




Peach trees at the farm...

Daddy Scott decided he was going to build a pond house. They started the framing on Saturday and we went to check it out. They are all hoping that this will be the Jackson family hang out for get togethers/holidays. The beginning work looked great, but Daddy Scott was getting grief from Mama Scott and Rosy who thought the house needed 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a washer and dryer.


Also at the farm, Daddy Scott had his barn rebuilt and got a new Tennessee Walker, Hank. The other horse they have is a quarter horse named Sugar. We visited with the horses....they were beautiful and sweet enough to let us pet them.



Ryan and Hank became instant friends...
My parents are going to be opening a new urgent care practice in Manning in May 2010. They took us by to see the new office. We are praying all the details come together for them to open smoothly in May and to really meet a need in Manning.


Sunday, we went to church and Shoneys for the b-fast buffet (not too many options in the big city). Here is a pic of mom and I and the Reese family before we went to go back home...

    You won't be able to hold Scout like that for much longer! Samson and I loved hanging out with him last night. :)

10 things...

I am such a copy-cat today, but I love this idea! My favorite, Beth Moore, started this on her blog,  and then I noticed my girls, Alyssa and Kathyrn did it on their blogs too. I am learning so many new things about people and, naturally, I need to do it now! Here are the directions: What are 10 things - right off the top of your head - that we would only know about you if we knew you really well? 10 random things ranging anywhere on your personal map that make you a tad distinctive? Or just plain weird? Think quickly. Don't go for deep. Go for quirky. Don't try to put them in any kind of order and don't make them long. Just start typing. Since this is the Reese blog, I will attempt to do it for both of Ryan and myself.... Anna: 1. I hate to shave. Freshman year of college, I only shaved once a week and my friends and people I worked with tried to straighten me out with weekly "armpit checks"...sick, but true. 2. I love zits, abscesses, blood blisters---an

Miracle!!

Ryan and I are so so thankful and excited to make the announcement that we are having a baby! Right now, I have just finished up the first trimester. The baby is almost 15 weeks old. We actually get to find out the gender in a couple of weeks, which is so exciting! It has been such a wonderful time. The Lord has truly blessed us with this miracle. Through this process, the thing that I have been thinking the most of in my heart is that the Lord is good. I don't know why this truth is sometimes hard for me to soak in. Life is hard and trials happen- this is so true and the trials do not make God any less good. However, sometimes, the Lord just gives to His children. I find it so crazy that I am resistant to believe this at times, but I always look at the toughest or hardest outcome in a situation and assume that it will happen. However, through this, I have been reminded that although the Lord allows hard things to happen at times to shape and define us, He does good things a

Reflections

I am currently about to be done with my last class ever in PA school. That fact combined with the fact that I have to turn in my computer in about an hour has inspired me to blog! I cannot believe that this chapter of my life is almost done. As I look back over my life, I think of the many things that I have done and sacrificed to prepare for this moment. High school and working hard to make the best grades possible and be involved so that I could achieve something and do something with my life. College and majoring in Biology so that I could go into the health care field. Figuring out that I wanted to go to PA school and my course changing. I ended up having to take about 36 extra hours on top of biology courses just to get the pre-reqs I needed for PA school. I remember back to the application process and attempting to make sure everything was in order. Then I was devastated when I did not get into PA school that first time. I began a job after we got married at the Heart Center to
