Since its cold and snowy out and not much going on, here's a couple pic's from our trip to TX last May for Jodi's wedding. This is the bridemaids & bride at the rehearsal dinner/party. The other pic is Laurel and Trish getting Jodi laced into her dress.

It amazes me how I can sit at my computer for 8 hours a day working keeping my creativity alive, but when I sit down to work on this blog I can't seem to come up with anything interesting to write about! So, I took a break and went and watched Coby through the sliding glass door. He was turning all the horses out so they can run and play for a few hours. The sun's shining today and its nice and warm here at the window. Outside I can hear the roads are crunchy with ice, its probably only in the teens. That means its an indoor day for me. Its always such a kick to watch the horses after they've been stalled up for a while. They love it, they roll and run and play and eventually find one to pick on (today it's Cort's colt). They get around good in the deep snow. They can race back to the bottom of the arena and burn around the turn and they never seem to hurt themselves. I feel like I've been stalled up for a while too, I don't spend much time out in the deep freeze. I think if I were to go tearing through the snow and run my butt off I would most likely 1. hurt myself 2. definitely regret it in tomorrow 3. hurt myself. I've worked very hard at getting this out of shape. It doesn't just happen overnight. That's what I get for not riding this winter. Riding in the winter keeps you in pretty good shape because everything takes twice as long in the snow and cold. I just haven't had it in me this year to get out there yet. I think my horses needed a break from me anyways. They are all young horses and I trained on them pretty hard this year. It seems like they come back more solid after a break so the time off shouldn't hurt them any. Coby's horses were due for a break too. They are getting a little age on them and he hauled them hard this summer. They all look good, just really hairy because we didn't blanket this year. So, today, we'll just let them play and save the real exercise for another day!
