Life is good depending on your perspective...
Life is good depending on how you look at it. I could look at all the bad things that have happened and compile them and focus on it. But I am not going to do that. I am going to look at what lies ahead of me and each day that I wake up. Life really is good because I wake up in the morning without being so stiff now and I discover emotions I didnt think I had and information that I am absorbing like a sponge. Life really is good.
I have become a different person. And I love it!!!! I think a combination of taking my vitamins and going to the chiropracter has made a big difference.
My schedule is so jam packed right now I can hardly contain myself!!!! Along with working at the Feed Mill and Hungry Howies, I am baling hay, training horses, learning how to milk cows on a small dairy farm, building my business and riding along with a local veterinarian, who by the way has an awesome personality and is so helpful to my learning expirence. I think I might just have to go and purchase a planner so that I can keep track of what I am doing. I cant even imagine what is going to be like going to college and all of this, but I sure that things will slow down as soon as school starts up again.
Chrissy and I are looking at houses. We have found a couple of small houses but for the price we would like to have a place to put the horses. We found one over in Sheridan that is absolutely perfect. The barn needs repair and such and it is an absolutely beautiful place but unfortunately the price is kinda high and we would have to basically go to work, feed the horses and come home and we arent willing to give up the things that we love so she decided not to walk through the house. But on a better note we are still looking and have found a couple that have caught our interest that are small but close enough to home to keep the horses.
Anyways, I am going to watch this guy I know rope on Tuesday. I am really excited to see him rope because I havent seen it done by somebody who know how to do it and do it well.
The cowboy thing gets me everytime.
We are having a Chrissy/Lindsey day tommorow at Michigan Adventure. Next trip is to Cedar Point.
I am so excited and so exhausted.

I can deal...
I took a nap after my morning class and was out for an hour. I woke up stretched and then went back to sleep for another half hour. I didnt realize how tired I actually was. I believe that my lack of sleep last night was from the abundance of energy from the events that played out this past weekend. It was more thought proked energy than physical 'ants in my pants' energy. But now I am just lethargic. My eyes hurt because they still want to be closed.
I am just a friend. In both cases. Its better than not being anything at all.

Toot Toot....
I have hit the point where I want my car back. I am stuck at home until somebody gets here. There are two farm trucks but one in uninsured and the other one...well I am not quite sure what is wrong with the other one but I cant use that one either.
We drove home from Ohio last night at about 9:30. We arrived home around 3:15am. Long trip but it was nice to see my grandma. I know she misses my grandpa but I think most of all she just hates being alone and with us being there it allowed her to enjoy life a little bit again. I am glad to be home though. I missed my horses and they missed my too. I rode Pete this morning and I think he is sick. Not horribly ill but enough to make me worrie. But then again I always worrie about my boys because they are old. If he doesnt get any better with the electolytes I will call the vet and see if they can help me out over the phone.
I need to breakaway from my everyday life more than every six months of so. I need to be with different people and actually enjoy my life while I am still young.
Any takers?

Finally....
To be six hours away from my everyday life allows me to somewhat forget about the worries that bog my mind when I am at home. I have thought about them at certain points today but for the most part I have just enjoyed being here, just living without a care or a responsibility. I needed this. I needed to get away from my thoughts. Being in the city has allowed my mind to consume all of what I am not used to. In the country I have time to think and wonder where as here I am subconsciously fascinated with all of the enormous houses and Hobes, my Grandma's dog, that I do not have to worrie. The horses are in great care and I know if anything were to go wrong she would call me.
Life is still looking up and I am still looking up with it. I have a whole new perspective on life and I am absorbing every second of it.

So much better....
I feel as though a monsterous weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. I talked with Brad last night. He knew things that I need to know. And just by knowing the details, I had the most wonderful sleep last night without disturbance. I didnt wake up sweating or at 3 am feeling wide awake. I feel wonderful. I am going to change alot about me. Mostly the way I look. Just talking to Brad has made everything so much better.
Everything is looking up and so I am going to look up too.

| The Keys to Your Heart | 
You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.
In love, you feel the most alive when your partner is patient and never willing to give up on you.
You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.
You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic.
Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.
Your risk of cheating is 100%. You are not suited for a monogamous relationship.
You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.
In this moment, you think of love as something you don't need. You just feel like flirting around and playing right now.

I really do...
Pete and I are having a rough time. I think we need to take a break from one another. His usual habits are really getting on my nerves right now. I dont know why. I love him very much and tell him everyday but right now I just want to kick his ass. He was so sweet tonight at dinner but he kept trying to get seconds and I told him no several times and he still proceeded to go get some. I feel bad that I am being kind of a bitch to him but he needs to be told every now and again when he is being stupid. He is absolutely adorable and I can never be mad at him for very long but I think he is getting jealous of John because he is getting more irritating when it comes to the stunts he pulls for attention. I think we just need to limit how much we see each for a couple of days and then things should be alright between us. Maybe its because I am not spending enough time with him. That could be. I should devote a whole day to him and make him feel like he is King. Even though he sure acts like it right now. We will take a break from each other for right now so I can clear my head and then I will be able to love him like I love no other. Thats exactly what I will do. I really do love him dont get me wrong but we all need a break once in a while.
**If you didnt already know Pete is my horse and so is John and no matter what I love them both unconditionally.**

hmmmm...
I might go to England as of last night. But that is way up in the air and is more of a 'oh that would be fun' thought than it actually happening but it is possible. We are like two peas in a pod.

I am so proud of Pete...
We had two shows this weekend. One on Saturday and the one on Sunday. Saturday Pete and I took home a 2nd in Pole Bending, a 3rd in Speed and Action, and Texas Flag, and three 4th's for Keyhole, Cloverleaf, and Down and Back. Pete was ready to run too. I hadnt ridden him Monday or Tuesday and when I did ride he just wanted to go but I didnt let him and he got pissed. Although my legs got pretty banged up from hitting barrels and such.
Today we kicked ass. I expected him to be tired and sore from the day before but he had twice the energy and it was phenomanal. We we DQed from 3 classes but rocked in the Relay Race with Chrissy and we took 1st. Then I took a 2nd in Speed and Action and a 2nd in Down and Back.
But unfortutley my shins and knees are really banged up and bruised and they are swollen and hurt alot. In two days I got a total of 8 ribbons and Pete is still ready to do it again.
And I am terribly upset but dont know how to express it just yet.
Shea- I need to talk to you. Really bad.
