Of course, Christmas was busy. My parents flew up from Charleston, and we had Christmas at our house with BOTH sides of the family. Talk about stress...It did go well though. Everyone helped bring something, which was a major help due to me not feeling well.
I've gotten some cool stuff for the horses over the holiday season! I got Cheyenne a child-sized saddle that fits her back. She was not liking the saddles when she first arrived, but she is doing so well! I actually saddled her up Monday, and it didn't seem to bother her. Sometimes they will kick, buck, etc. the first time being saddled, but she just stood there and then we went for a walk (not riding!) with no problems. This is such a major milestone for my baby girl!
I do have a prayer request. My brother is going to be deployed to Iraq soon. We're not sure exactly when, but I know it will be sometime soon. He will be over there for a year, and he will miss the birth of his son. I'm so proud of him, and I know he will appreciate any prayers on his behalf. I'm sure my sister-in-law will be needing prayers too. She'll be home with their two kids, plus the one on the way.
Friday should be a fun day. My friend, Jamie, and I are going to Bedford tack in TN, and it is craft night at church. Hopefully I'll squeeze in a ride as well. It looks like it might warm up a little bit that day. Anyhow, I'll stop rambling. Happy New Year!
