I've gone through quite an exciting year, from becoming single to graduating from college to starting a full time job. And my year is just going to get more exciting what with moving to Florida and all. Plus, my summers are always awesome. I'm going to make this summer a summer to remember, and I guess I'm going to blog about it too.
I was feeling like there was a lack of direction in what I was writing on my blog, which is why I never blogged. Other people had specific things that they liked to write about, certain hobbies that they could talk to their audiences about (like crafts, or buying a new house, or their husbands, or their babies). I just didn't feel like I had that. Then today I realized... I just have TOO many things that I do, too many hobbies I'm interested in, and that I'm quite busy with my own little adventures.
So here begins a new chapter in my life. I'm titling it "Adventure." I'm just gonna write about all the cool and awesome things that I do. Or maybe they aren't awesome. Whatever, an adventure is an adventure. I want people to look at me and say "there's that crazy single lady who is always doing something new with someone different, and she always has her dog with her" haha.
TODAY my adventure was riding horses. I don't care when or where I do this one thing, but it is truly an adventure every time. Every time I ride, something new and exciting happens. Or the old and exciting things are just as old an exciting. I usually go up to the farm where I ride with someone else. But today I went by myself. There was quite a hubub at the farm 'cause they had just gotten an order of hay in, which I was supposed to help with, so there was that.
Annette made all her little worker bees tacos and offered us some Coors light, both of which I gladly excepted, and then we sat and waited for more help. While we were waiting Annette decided that I should just go ride, so I did. I ended up riding the entire time they were putting away hay. So much for helping. I would honestly do anything to help that lady though. She has done so much for me and my family over the years, letting us come and ride whenever we want.
Let me tell you something about my love of horses. There is NOTHING like sitting on the back of a horse, feeling the power of the muscles beneath you, making slow flicking motions with reigns and having the switch directions, and slow kissing noises that make them move faster. There is also nothing as exhilarating as riding a horse who is running beneath you. And the smells! Don't even get me started. I love the smell of horse sweat, and the smell of horse poop, and the smell of leather saddles and cowboy boots. Even the smell of the trees and the fresh cut grass surrounding the arena or on the trails where I ride. I love it all.
My horse that I always ride, her name is Cola (she's a buckskin mare. That means she's female, and that she is tan fur and black mane and tail), and I did a lot of trotting today...for me anyways. Trotting is the form of running that is one step faster than walking. Just feeling my muscles working as I went up and down with her gait was the most amazing thing. I can't wait to go back and do it all again next week. Me and my girl, we could take on the world.
Until next time,
