so behind! :P

I havent updated in a while but so far all is well. I will make it brief because there is so much to update y'all about. So my mom came to visit me and the Roe Familia! She had a great time, it rained for most of the time she was out here (which was great because it was mostly at night). We went out to town and shopped and her and Deone Al's mom got along well. OH! and my mom she shocked me! okay so before we went to pick her up i told Al's family that she is shy and doesn't talk that much but after she gets to know you she opens up! but ohhhhhhhhhhhh no she was talking it up the whole drive back to the house and everyday she was just so talkative. lol I know she loves to talk and share but she barely knew Al's parents. Anywho, it was awesome my mom and his parents get along great. :)

Then on the last day she was here in Texas, we went to go see llamas. yah okay so i have had this weird hidden love for llamas, ever since my last Peru visit. I thought they were such cool creatures and so gentle. I had told Al and he had asked me if i would want one and i said Yeah! He said maybe i could train it and i immediatly saw myself riding a llama in my head. lol. SO we went to go see llamas and bought if from this old man that was nice but he didnt have a clue about llamas (that was a red flag)..anywho i saw the one i wanted, she was so cute, her body was dark brown and her tail and lil face was blackish brown..but the cool part about her is she had a lil white on her chin and neck and here legs (loooked like leg warmers) :) beautiful. Anywho, Alan was so sweet and he let me rant about how awesome llamas were and i told him all the research i know about them ( i did my homework)and finally i decided to call her "Sweety" because she was so sweet and gentle and she even had white sugar on her chin : D lol. i trained her for a week, she would run away from everyone when we first got her but i got her to stop, let me pet her, then she finally let me hug her and would walk with me. It was such an awesome feeling, training an animal is beautiful. I never in my wildest dreams would have thought i could do such a thing, but something about connecting with an animal without language but just consistency and patience was inspiring. sigh, God had other plans though, because the family went on a trip for 3 days and I left her food and plenty of water but when we got back we found her dead..and she was being eaten by the vultures..it was grusome. I wont go into detail because it was just sad and fortunatly we got there and they had just started picking at her. My heart sank when i saw her lying there...seriously all i could say was "NOOO" and just cry. I had so many plans for her and so many good times with her. It was a horrible day and I was not expecting her to leave so soon. Al and his dad helped me bury her and i made her a cross grave. I am coping with her loss but I know God made her and will take her back, ill see her in heaven and connect again with her.
