Friends

"Remember, remember, the fifth of November,
The gunpowder, treason and plot
I know of no reason why gunpowder, treason,
Should ever be forgot" - V for Vendetta

Since today is the fifth of November, Kalin and I thought it fitting to watch this movie, as we do every year on this date. 

Today is also the first Saturday in November, and the last weekend of live horse racing at Retama Park in Selma.  Since my grandma had some free passes for us to use there, we decided to use them this weekend, and take a couple of our newer friends with us.  We will be taking 8 people alltogether, so this ought to be an awfully interesting evening.  I don't remember the last time I went to the horse races, but I am really excited about going tonight! 

So, today, I am thankful for our friends, Alex and Hannah.  They are a wonderful, Godly couple who have been together for 2 years (today) and have been married for 10 months.  It is so nice for me to have another girl around my age that I can talk to about just about anything. Hannah taught me how to crochet, and has encouraged me in more ways than one.  She is so much fun to be around, but she can also be serious when she needs to be.  She loves to laugh and have fun, and I have to admit, that I have been a happier person since we have become friends. I love having someone to share my ups and downs with and get another woman's opinion on my ideas. 

I will be posting pictures from tonight's races on tomorrow's blog, so keep an eye out! I'm hoping to catch some good motion shots, but we will see!
