Just a quick post to thank all those who made my birthday so special this year. Selfishly, I was feeling a little down about having to travel to California alone for work on my actual birthday. After a good little cry, I wiped the self pity out of my brain and realized just how many wonderful people I have in my life who always make me feel loved and special. Along with many other fun things that were planned around the time of my birthday, my dear fiance took me horseback riding! I had been hinting about wanting to go for quite some time. He took it upon himself to research the absolute best horseback riding place I have ever been to. The owner has only 6 horses. That way, he has the ability to really take care of and train them properly, unlike those other "pony mills" as I like to call them. My horse, Rocky, was half Clydesdale, half quarter horse....such a BEAST! Rocky was very well behaved for only being a 4 y
ear old though. Michael's horse had bloodlines back to a champion racehorse. She was pretty speedy when encouraged. :)We had a wonderful time, aside from the intense soreness in the days following. I can't wait for our next trip!! Thank you, Bear!
