Friends and Sick Horses

My best friend, Ashley, gave me this picture way back in the day.  The caption reads "Hold on to Good Friends"  - if only it were that easy...  I like to think it is.






This weekend I spent a lot of time with my (usually neglected) horse, Jet.  Dad called me up Saturday morning to let me know that Jet wasn't doing so well and that he thought Jet had coliced again.  Colic is were the horses gut gets all twisted up and can potentially be fatal to the animal.  Jet was sprawled out in the middle of the field just laying there in a huge puddle of mud (as you can clearly see in the pic below, because that horse is filthy!).  Dad thought he was dead, twice.  So I went over to my parents house to walk my horse around and see if I could help make him feel better.

So two days of walking him around, keeping him in a stall, and letting him eat only green grass... I think his tummy ache is going away.  I did get to spend a gorgeous Sunday morning with my horse, a delicious cup of hot coffee, and talking to God :)  Perfect start to a lovely day!

New Year 2011

I just want to start off by saying that I don't make New Years Resolutions.  I've got lots of reasons why I don't, but it's been so many years in a row now that I haven't made a Resolution that I've just decided to stick with that. 

Saturday, 1-1-11, I went shopping with my mom and sisters.  All day long.  It was a ton of fun.  Throughout the day I kept getting little texts from my husband letting me know what he's been up to.  Just a warning, these texts may surprise some of you.  Laundry check.  Dishes check.  Vacuum check.  Etc.  With each updated text I would send him a compliment back letting him know how much I appreciate him doing that stuff for me while I'm out playing.  Finally I said "You're so good to me :) " and he replied with "I'm trying that's my new year resolution".  AWWWWWWWW! (Followed by a guilty tug on my heart for not being a thoughtful wife like that).

I think I am the luckiest girl in the world.  Just sayin.

So, for my post new years resolution... or whatever you would like to call it.  I resolve not to complain or have a bad attitude when my husband wants to play Halo on his Xbox.... at least not ALL the time :)  Let see how long this lasts!
