The Beginings of a Christmas Card

Still feeling a little under the weather so I just put some miles on Breezy this morning. Enjoyed the ride though. I just couldn't skip a second week of ridding in a row.

But, feel good or not, the deadline is coming up fast for getting the Christmas cards done so Dave drove down to HB and we took a few pics to be a starting point for this years creation.







Not sure which one we will use yet...

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am feeling much better today. My fever has lifted and the rash covering my entire body is starting to clear. And now that I finally got some sleep (the doctor gave me some pills to help with that) I think I will be able to enjoy Thanksgiving.

Good News and Bad News

The good news is that Breezy did great in Santa Barbara! He performed wonderfully and his trainer has high hopes for next show season.

The bad news is that Austin makes me sick...literally.

So Thursday night I woke up a few times not feeling well and then Friday I didn't feel well at all and had a number of emergency trips to the lady's room. I figured that it was probably something I ate and would just go away so I head to the airport anyways. Boy was I wrong!!! We landed in Austin at 11pm and I was in the emergency room by 2:30am. I was totally dehydrated from the numerous trips to the toilet and had a crazy fever. My stomach was cramping and my pulse was quite quick. I was hoping for a car accident on the way to the hospital so it would be a quick death rather than a slow painful one (Dave was wearing is seatbelt so I knew he would be fine). They did all kinds of tests and decided that it was a virus. After pumping 2 liters of fluids into me and numerous other drugs the fever was down to 101.6 and the cramping had subsided for the most part. Was released from the hospital at 6:30am or so and headed back home to take a vicadin that the doctor had prescribed to else the pain in my stomach and help me sleep. I woke up the next morning feeling a bit better for most of the day until the spaghetti I had delivered to the room for lunch decided to make a rather untimely reappearance. Dave was able to spend the day touring Austin with my aunt and uncle eating bbq and generally enjoying himself. The latest check out we could get for Sunday was 12:30pm so I was forced to tour homes with the fam until it was time to catch out flight home. Not wanted and thing to come back up I resigned myself to simply not eating for the day. I, thankfully, made it home uneventfully. I took the day off work today and will also take off tomorrow. I still haven't really eaten anything and my skin is bright red and feels like it is burned all over by body (yes, quite uncomfortable). And I still have a temp of 99.3 or 4.

So Dave liked Austin, but I pretty much hated it.

Blessed

This morning I woke up with an extra strong sense of gratitude and thankfulness. I have been so blessed in so many areas of my life, but one in particular stood out to me this morning.

Since I was seven I have had this crazy dream of showing horses. I wanted to be the best, which in my mind was winning a world championship. As I became an adult the dream was refined but certainly didn't die. However, as I got older and the realities of life (money, work, time, ect) became more apparent my dream seemed less and less likely. But, still the passion never subsided. There were many times that I almost just gave up the hope of it and resigned myself to never being able to afford it. And now here I am 28 years old and I am living my dream! I know that not everyone is given the opportunities to live their wildest dreams, but I have been. WOW, sometimes I have to pinch myself. (And what an amazing husband I have to desire invest in MY dreams!)

GOD IS SO GOOD!

A Very Breezy Morning

So it seems like it has been awhile since I have posted new pics of Breezy (at least 2 or 3 posts!!!). This morning I had another wonderful lesson. These pics were taken after Breezy got his bath while he is drying in the sun. He is a bit sad today because we was suposed to being going with me to a photo shoot today to model the new line of Hobby Horse clothing, but his winter coat decided to imerge alittle early making him too furry to be a super-model. You can't tell from these pics because he is so wet, but he is a total fluff ball now :o(
