Sissy Poo!

I ♥ my sister! Just so all of you know. Just in case you didn't have a clue. Just cause I said so. She is one of my most favorite people evah...


She's my shoulder to cry on, my personal comedian, my partner in crime.



She's cute and cuddly and...well maybe she does beat up on me sometimes but shhh....don't tell her I said that. :)


We've lived together for so long that we finish each others sentences and say what the other is thinking. A common phrase around the house is "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!"


I wouldn't trade her for nothin' and I'd give anything for her. :D


Love ya Kate! Be good!

The end of an era...

Well as most of you (I mean all 2 of you) know; for the past year and a half I have been teaching at Project RIDE. For those of you who don't know what Project RIDE is here is a short synopsis: Project RIDE is a horseback riding center dedicated to supporting horseback riding in a safe, educational and enjoyable manner for disabled persons.

I received my instructor certification in the fall of 2009. I have been an instructor there for the last year and a half. I have been teaching people with disabilities for a little over two years. It has been one of the most meaningful, terrifying, gratifying, difficult and outrageous times of my life. I have seen amazing triumphs and heartbreaking sorrow and I wouldn't trade my time at RIDE for anything in the world.
It has come time to say goodbye to this era of my life. While I am not, exactly, happy about it I am excited for what the future holds for me. I have always been blessed with good fortune in the "job" folder of my life and have always just fallen into whatever I am suppose to do next. Generally, in moving on, I feel like my turn is over and it is time for someone else to fill the shoes that have become so comfortable for me.

And, you know what they say about when you find a pleasant resting place...something about rising and moving on right?




So, I am rising and moving on to the grand world of retail shops.

Should be interesting...

pray for me...

I am going to miss all of my students my cuddly horses and all of the people that make Project RIDE the wonderful program that it is.
I will be forever grateful for the time that I spent there, the things I learned and the people I've had the privilege to know.
