Summer is Here

    It's a little more challenging finding the time to blog with two kids! Especially when one of them doesn't like to take daytime naps. So not only am I finding it hard to get to sit down to type out a blog update, I'm also finding it hard to come up with the brain power to write something! 

It Finally Stopped Raining

   For those of you that didn't know. Texas has been being FLOODED. Literally. While those of us with property on the lake are extremely happy to have our water front property back, a lot of people have lost everything from the flooding. There's even been tornadoes. 

Back In The Saddle

     It's been seven months since I've ridden. Seven very long months. Somewhere in the middle of my first trimester I gave up riding for the safety of the baby. It was torture, but I knew it was just for a season. In the grand scheme of things, a fairly short season... but as of last week the dry spell is over. I'm back!

He's Here ; The 9 Months

   It's crazy everything that can happen in just nine months. The time is takes for a little human to grow and be born inside of you seems like forever and also no time at all. Some days time just crawls by, and then one day (or middle of the night) you wake up and wonder where time has gone. It seems like just yesterday you were looking at that positive pregnancy test, having a minor anxiety attack, wondering how you're possibly going to be able to wait 9 more months to meet your baby!

So Much ; Part II

Welcoming two new horses to our barn was both very exciting and emotionally difficult so soon after saying goodbye to my boys. It helped distract me but also has made me miss my boys even more.

So Much ; Part I

    I am a very routine oriented person. I like routine, I like rhythm, I like what I know, and I like boring. I don't like change, I don't like new, and I especially don't like unexpected twists in the plot.

Time Marches On

It recently has occurred to me (or rather slapped me in the face) that I have moved on to another phase in my life. Not just being a mom, or having a house... But having almost entirely given up something that has been a part of my life since I was just 8 years old.
