Well Tanya, Meredith, and Donna got me started on this stuff so here goes some more. Last weekend I went to a horse show with Chance and his girlfriend Elisa. This was their first show with each other, and with the horses that they brought. I was super proud of what they had accomplished. If you would have asked me 5 years ago where he would be now I would have said he'd be in jail or at least headed that way. He's changed his whole life around and I love watching him with horses and teaching kids to ride. His language may be a little rough for a lot of parents sometimes but it's just his way. He never berates the kids he's working with and shows a lot more patience than I did with him when he was growing up.
He has confessed that one of my best friends has been instrumental in starting this change, Thanks Rob. Personnaly I don't care who, or what, started the change I am just glad it happened.
On to bigger, MUCH bigger, and other things. For the first time in 2 years I am back to wearing Wranglers. YEAAAAAH!!! I haven't lost much weight just rearranging the inches.
Donna is back in school and working like a fiend to get her program finished. I am so proud of her. She is always trying to learn and make her/our lives better. Of course that doesn't leave us much time for going out or doing other things together. But I noticed in her blog that she says she is working 25 days a week at the VA, HUUUUUH? I don't think that is possible, it just seems like it is. It must be the exhaustion and the pain pills she is taking for an absessed tooth.
Well I've rambled enough and if you want to hear about the baby check out Donna's blog, she has pics and everything all about our little bundle from heaven.
I'm not real good with the picture thing so you can expect more writing than pictures.

Well, I will have to make sure Rob reads this when he gets home. Reading your and Donna's blogs have really shown how much Chance has changed. I remember when he was dumping his dirt bike, eating grass, and quitting school. Chance, we are very proud of you and hope all your dreams come true. The profession you have chosen is tough but I think you are up for it. You should feel very fortunate that you found your nitch early. Some of us are still trying to figure out what we want to do when we grow up :)
ReplyDeleteGary, YOU GO WITH YOUR BAAAAD SELF!! You have no idea how happy Rob and I are that you have taken charge and regained LIFE. You are doing so great!! Keep up the hard work. You will have to have Donna take pictures of your new Studly self and post them so we can see those hot Wranglers!! We are glad you are riding again. We know how much you love and have missed it. Maybe, next time we get together we can all run like the wind on the beach or something. That would be awesome. Love you guys!!
