Getting Back on the Horse

Everyone has heard the idiom “Get back on the horse.” This advice is harder to abide by when you’ve fallen off a horse two days in a row. As an equestrian, I’ve had plenty of falls. No matter how many times I’ve fallen off and been okay, it still sucks and my confidence takes aContinue reading “Getting Back on the Horse”

Adjusting to Life After College

A few months ago, I would’ve told you that my life was right on track. I had a great part-time job that aligned perfectly with my major at my university press and I had just married the love of my life after nine years of being together. As a couple, things were awesome as well.Continue reading “Adjusting to Life After College”

Tia’s 4 Year Anniversary!

(I’m one day late for my Tia post…sorry, Tia.) In August 2011 when my horse, my then-boyfriend, and I moved to College Station, I never thought we’d be adding a new addition to our family so soon. Until he met Tia, Bill claimed that he hated small dogs and would never get one. The firstContinue reading “Tia’s 4 Year Anniversary!”

Moving Forward

My riding career has always been tumultuous, to say the least. I’ve never really had any consistency in my riding until now, partly due to circumstances outside of my control, and partly due to my own choices. There’s nothing I can do to change the past, but now that I’m in a situation that IContinue reading “Moving Forward”

Happy 3 Years, Misty!

Three years ago Bill and I drove up to the barn where I boarded my horse in College Station just as the sun was starting to set. As we approached the front gate, a skinny creature with pointed ears and black rimmed eyes crawled out of the drainage ditch in front of the entry wayContinue reading “Happy 3 Years, Misty!”

Growing Up

There’s something about summer that will always remind me of horses. I started going to horse summer camp when I was 9, and did so just about every year until I was 16. From ages 14 to 16 I was a camp counselor at my barn for pretty much the whole summer, and I spentContinue reading “Growing Up”

Time Marches On

The wedding is 18 days away. That is amazing. I remember when we were 13 years old and thought that we would get married as soon as we got out of high school. I spent pretty much every day telling myself “just five more years.” We didn’t get married right out of high school, andContinue reading “Time Marches On”

Life Changes

There are a lot of things coming up that I’m really scared about. I’m getting married in just over 30 days. I’m retaking Business Math for the third time this summer. If I pass, I will be graduating in August. My job as a student worker ends in August. I will have to start lookingContinue reading “Life Changes”

Exciting Times

I can’t believe it. I’m getting married in 57 days and graduation is just around the corner, too. The wedding has been a long time coming, but I’m still shocked by how quickly the time passed. We got engaged on August 31, 2013. At the time, May 31, 2015 seemed like forever away. Now that it’s NEXTContinue reading “Exciting Times”

22!

I had a perfect (lazy) birthday! I took two naps, one after each class, and watched Dance Moms while I waited for Bill to get home from work. Bill told me he had to work late, but being the surprise-loving guy that he is, he showed up with beautiful flowers and a box of cupcakesContinue reading “22!”
