Weddings, Baby Showers and Birthdays, Oh My!


I love weddings!

Well, it's been some time since my last post, so if anyone reads this - thank yeh'!

This summer has just been a whirlwind of one thing after another. If it's not a Bachelorette party, it's a wedding. If it's not a birthday party it's a BBQ. If it's not a baby shower it's a camping trip...so on and so forth. I am NOT complaining, though, it just left little time for blogging and sadly, horses.

To recap, I have had to postpone my dressage lessons. It's not that I didn't like them, because I did, it has more to do with money. In August I began a new job. The new job (with more of this $$) has been good thus far, but I'm wayyy in between paychecks. It has been a good month since I've been paid and I just cannot afford much of anything right now, especially a 25 minute riding lesson for $40.00...what!?!? I know. But they're worth it to me; T is awesome! Not only that, but between all of the crazy summer happenings, I have no time for riding...it's crazy, but true. Ever since I hit my mid to late twenties (and now thirties) it has been nothing but weddings and baby showers all summer long. Not to mention, all of my friends are having their big 3-0 birthday parties ~ old fogies that we are ;).

I have not really been riding the Morgans lately either. No time. I've only ridden Lady, my mom's horse, 3 or 4 times but I can tell that my mom has really done a lot with her. She is jogging much slower and though she isn't very steady, she's getting there. There is talk of my mom and dad getting a horse trailer, so that should be interesting *yay*!
I wish I could say that I got a horse this summer, but I haven't....yet, anyway. What I did get is a new car. I traded in my 2003 Dodge Neon for a 2010 Mariner Premier - I am LOVIN' it, too!


Now that I'm settling in to my new job, I hope to be posting much more. I need to get back in to riding on a regular basis so that I have something to post about :).
I hope everyone has been having a wonderful summer!!!!!
