MIDWEST FAIR WAS FUN I JUST WISH WE COULD HAVE STAYED LONGER. OUR 5K WAS NOT SO BAD FOR THE FIRST, FINISHED IN 35 MIN. THAT IS SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE I GUESS. DRESSAGE LESSONS ARE SO MUCH FUN I AM LIKING IT MORE THAN I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO, I JUST WISH REBEL WAS I LITTLE BIT MORE COOPERATIVE. BUT WE ARE WORKING VERY HARD AND IN THE END OUR END PRODUCT WILL WE WONDERFUL. THE INSTRUCTOR ALREADY WANTS US TO GO TO A TESTING PLUS TRY AN ENGLISH EQUITATION CLASS. ALL I HAD WAS FLASHBACKS OF THE FIRST SHOW AND LAST THAT I TOOK HIM TO NOT SO PRETTY. WE ALMOST RAN THE JUDGE OVER AND I SWEAR HE HAD FIRE COMING OUT OF HIS ASS!!! WELL I SUPPOSE THAT IS ONE GOOD THING ABOUT DRESSAGE THE JUDGE IS OUTSIDE OF THE RING LOL. AS FOR DEAR FLICKA I AM GETTING MOTIVATED AGAIN AND SHE IS DOING WONDERFUL. WE ACTUALLY HAD OUR FIRST RIDE OUTSIDE AND SHE DID AWESOME. TONIGHT IS ANOTHER LESSON IF WE DON'T GET RAINED OUT, BUT I CAN ALMOST SMELL VACATION!YEAH!!!!!

GETTING EXCITED ABOUT HEADED TO THE MIDWEST HORSE FAIR THIS WEEKEND, BUT FIRST HAVE TO STOP MIDWAY TO RUN A 5K ROBIN AND I HAVE BEEN TRAINING FOR----THAT SHOULD BE REAL INTERESTING:-)

HAD THE DAY OFF TODAY, CAR BROKE DOWN COULDN'T GET IT FIXED RIGHT AWAY, OH DARN!!! INSTEAD I WENT TO THE DR. WITH MY MOM AND SISTER, HAD LUNCH AND DID SOME SHOPPING FOR THE KIDS SINCE THEY BOTH RECEIVED ALL A'S ON THEIR REPORT CARDS. NOW I AM HOME AND BOTH THE GIRLS WANT LESSONS, THANK GOD FOR THE BARN BECAUSE IT IS KINDA ICKY OUT THERE. SO OUT TO THE BARN I TRUDGE WISHING THE SUN WAS SHINING. OH BY THE WAY MY LESSON WAS AWESOME. THE INSTUCTOR SAYS WE HAVE HUGE POTENTIAL, NOW WE HAVE TO SEE IF HE CAN TURN US INTO SOMETHING. I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT ONE AND I ALREADY HOOKED HIM UP WITH A FEW MORE CLIENTS. NEVER TO OLD TO LEARN AND I LOVE IT!!!!

TODAY WAS A WONDERFUL DAY WITH FAMILY, WE EVEN GOT SOME YARD WORK DONE. YEAHHHH!! TOMORROW I WILL BE MEETING WITH THE DRESSAGE INSTRUCTOR AND WE WILL SEE HOW IT GOES, HOPEFULLY THE WEATHER HOLDS OUT FOR REBEL AND I'S FIRST LESSON. IT HAS BEEN YEARS SINCE I EVER HAD A LESSON IT WILL BE INTERESTING IF ANYTHING ELSE. I WILL LET U KNOW HOW IT GOES.

KARMA. DO YOU BELIEVE OR DON'T YOU??? FOR THE RECORD I AM A BELIEVER. FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS A REACTION, RIGHT. WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND, IT TOTALLY HAS BEEN PROVEN. ME PERSONALLY I HAVE WITNESSED IT, BEEN A PART OF IT AND HELPED CREATE IT. HAVEN'T WE ALL SOME TIME IN OUR LIVES. BUT RECENTLY IT HAS COME FULL CIRCLE IN MY LIFE BY GETTING A LONG TIME FRIEND BACK, WHOM I CHASED AWAY. I EVEN GOT KICKED IN THE HEAD BY A BIG ASS HOOF AND I BELIEVE NOW IT WAS A SIGN TO LITERALLY GET MY HEAD OUT OF MY ASS, BUT I DIDN'T AND WE JUST GREW APART. BUT KNOW WE HAVE REJOINED AND IT FEELS REAL GOOD TO HAVE THAT FRIEND BACK IN MY LIFE. I GUESS THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON AND SOMETIMES A PERSON DOESN'T KNOW THE REASON UNTIL YEARS GONE BY. IF IT IS MEANT TO BE IT WILL BE. IF LIFE IS UNSURE IN YOUR ROAD YOU ARE TRAVELING DOWN FOCUS ON SOMETHING POSITIVE AND POSITIVE WILL HAPPEN . PEOPLE ARE IN OUR LIVES FOR A REASON SOME FOR A SHORT TIME AND OTHERS LIFE LONG, SO ENJOY THE TIME YOU SPEND WITH THEM BECAUSE TOMORROW THEY MIGHT BE GONE. I ALSO EVERYDAY NO MATTER HOW BUSY I AM HUG AND KISS MY KIDS AND TELL THEM THAT I LOVE THEM AND THANK GOD FOR EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO US.

BRANDI WENT HOME LAST NIGHT WE WILL MISS HER, BUT HER OWNERS ARE VERY HAPPY ESPECIALLY CADEN!! THE KIDS RODE LAST NIGHT BUT IT WAS SO WINDY WE HAD TO RIDE IN THE INDOOR TO AVOID BEING BLINDED BY SAND.LOL. WE ALSO WANT TO CONGRATULATE NIKKLOE ON THE PURCHASE OF LIL MAC, THEY MAKE A GREAT TEAM. I ALSO WORKED ERIC PRETTY HARD HE RODE A QUITE A FEW DIFFERENT HORSES AND DID A SUPER JOB. I TOLD HIM THE MORE HORSES U RIDE THE BETTER YOU WILL GET.
