No more packing

I am so tired of packing. I freaked out about having to move all of our crap so I hired a mover today. Two men and a big truck and 5 hours later it's done and I don't even have to be there.

I no longer have any desire to go back to Columbus. I am full of dread about this whole thing. I am meant to be far away in the country teaching lessons and training horses and catching frogs and picking wildflowers and eating apples off forgotten trees by the side of the road.

I am so nervous. I don't like this kind of circular change.

Lots of good reasons to move; lots of good reasons to run away before it happens.

ugh.

Canoe!

Unrelated to canoe trip, but made me think that I am the luckiest girl in the world...



Best friends for 18 years!



Paddling - trip b is longer than trip a. We should have chosen trip a.



After watching the canoe safety video.

this week in pictures...

Besides horse stuff, some other pics from last week...

Marc and I met my mom and grandma in W. Liberty for the world's best ice cream.



My additional tack storage area (for Alexis)



Poor Gracie...May is so rude.



Sunset at the barn.



Oh, and I finally got facebook. I actually kind of like it. writing on the walls of friends, etc. It's fun.

FOUND!

I found my sisters. And got to talk to one of them for almost two hours tonight.

And she is so cool and funny and likes all the same tv shows and music that I do. I was so scared for this moment and now I am just too happy for words.

The best part of all of this is that she is someone I would want to be friends with even if she wasn't my sister.

Thanks to all of my friends and family who have been so nice and supportive as I have been looking. Yay!

grrrr2....

My central air broke today. Just in time for August. And we just told the landlord that we are moving so I am sure he will be in no hurry to repair it. And some small animal has died in some wall in or near the kitchen.

And I bought a helmet. A cheap helmet, but I like it quite a lot. It is the new low-rise IRH with a velvet cover. Less bulky, no obvious IRH so people know that I do not have a GPA and it doesn't give me a head-ache. And I love my horse. My one horse. Mary Jane is sold and I like her new family a lot. They picked her up on Thursday.

too hot to ride until late in the day or early - these are just not my best times.
