About Me
(horse pictures coming soon!)
I am married to my college sweetheart who is a homebuilder in New Braunfels and San Antonio areas. Together we have two black labs (Magnum and Scout), a blue heeler (Sonora), a border collie (Whigs), and two horses (Elmo and Elvira). On the weekends I'm either at a horse show or fishing at the coast.
Above: 27.5 trout in Baffin (released)
Mine: 28" (no eggs) Matt's: 28.5" 8 lbs. (won biggest trout)
Since we had to kill these fish for the tournament they are now going to be in our coffee table with another 27.5" I caught the previous weekend (for another tournament). We always release any trout over 25" unless we are fishing a tournament or they are over 29" for me and 30" for my husband and then we mount them (hasn't happened for me yet) :)

S= STOP
You should stop and think before an action. You need to give yourself time to become aware of what you are doing. You should think about choosing an appropriate alternative. Examples are stopping before making a purchase, stopping before hitting another student, or stopping before talking out in class.
T = THINK
You should be aware of choices and think about your alternatives. You need to develop strategies for thinking. You can think about these questions:
· Is this the best choice?
· Is there any way to accomplish this?
· What effect will my choice have on my parents?
· What effect will my choice have on me?
· What are my choices?
A = ACT
You need to realize that you are responsible for your own actions. Your behavior is what you do or think. Behavior has a consequence. A consequence is a positive or negative result of an action or behavior.
R = REVIEW
You need to review your actions in order to evaluate your behavior. Evaluation is to examine, to judge, or to look at something in order to determine the effect or value of the behavior. Successful people always review their actions.
