1-28-10: Riding lesson
hey everyone!
Yesterday I had a really, really great riding lesson. Though, I'm a little sore today. lol
I rode Leo, who used to be one of the calmest school horses ever, not so much any more. But, I still love him. lol
So, in my class... there are two other girls at the beginner level. We're the only three home school riders that I know of, so that's why we're all in the same class.
They just started to learn how to trot today, which was pretty exciting for them. :D They both did really great for first time trotting.
I, on the other hand... did sitting trot without my stirrups for probably, all but the last fifteen minutes of my lesson, which I worked on cantering.
Normally, I'm really good at getting my circle right and everything, but yesterday was just a, yeah no.
Normally, when I canter my instructor has the other riders stay at the other end of the arena (half arena circle) and then I stay at my end. But yesterday she had them keep riding, and the first half arena circle was good. But, then they got over there and I got worried, so yeah... the next two circles were not so great, I almost ran over the mount stool, (oops) but I steered him around it quickly. (phew!)
So, after that experience, Jill finally said I could let him have his head (let me walk on the rail) and I was glad. I was kinda getting tried. lol
After dismounting and getting him walked out and groomed, I got all his stuff put away and called my mom to come and pick me up.
She was at the doctor with my little sis for a 18 month well baby check and hadn't quite left yet, so it was going to be awhile until she could come pick me up. So, can you take a guess at what I got to do??? No? BARN CHORES! Yippee! (No seriously, it was way more fun than just waiting 45 minutes for my mom to come and get me)
I got to clean out all the grooming buckets, (I think it was either 12 or 13) and then their brushes (13 times 3... 39 brushes) and then I swept the tack room. I'm pretty sure after all that, Jill (My instructor) didn't mind that my mom was late to get me. lol
So yah, that's about it. Have a great day!

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't written in like forever! But, I've been keeping busy. =]
Youth group is back! Finally! It felt like ages since I was back in the youth room! Uh! (Even though it was only like, 3 weeks... it literally felt like 8 months, horrible, long months.) We've been doing a study called Dare to be Daniel. It's a lot of fun and I'm learning a lot. Also, I've really focused on applying what I'm learning into my life this year, it's tricky... but when I do actually remember to apply it, I get all happy. lol
This week was Dare to be His Disciple. We learned about what it means to be a follower of God, and that it's not just obeying God, doing everything he asks when he asks, telling others about him, spreading his love, it's also learning as we go along through life. I guess I knew that already, but I needed to be reminded of that.
We also talked a lot on the fact that our actions speak louder than our words. So, if we act like Jesus did when he was on earth, act like a true, God fearing Christian, it will make others wonder why we're so different, more even than, if we talk about God. (Which does help too... Paul made that perfectly clear too)
Well, if I continued to type about this study, you'd be reading for like the next two weeks (lol) so, I'm just going to give you the website address so you can check it out for yourselves! I'd definatly consider telling your own youth pastors about this study, and ask them if you can do it too. It's really life changing.

Have a great week!

12-21-09:More about books...
hey there ya'll! Merry almost Christmas!
Soooo yeah, I've been real busy lately with baking for the holidayz, babysitting, Christmas shopping and of course WRITING! I'm currently working three books and thought I'd just give you the introductions to look over!
The Almost Perfect Forever
Paige Riley is a sixteen year-old junior and has the perfect life. She has two
amazing Christian parents, an older brother and sister, and an adopted little sister.
She goes to the BEST church in all of Minnesota, where all her close friends
attend too.
She has her own horse, a hunt, tobiano paint named Leo, the cutest horse in all the
stable. And, she’s one of the best riders in the state.
Nothing could get better for this smart, athletic, pretty teenager. She has what so many of her friends call, the perfect life.
BUT, it’s all about to come crashing down around her. Some news, that some would
consider the opportunity of a life time, hits hard on this small town girl. Will she ever be able to adjust to this change?
The Dancing Hearts
Marissa Riley is a seventeen year-old senior at Dalesworth High in southern California. But, this surfer/dancer chick is taken by surprise when a transfer student named Todd Harrison shows up in her dance class and she is partnered with him. Will sparks fly between the two students? Or will someone’s heart become broken?
Ella
Ella Matthews has only dreams of ever attending college. But, her stable hand salary will never get her there.
Tyler Burk, a super star rider only wants a break from his over busy schedule. But… when he comes to Lakewood for Winter break, he just might find more than he’d even considered.
Ella, a “horsey” twist on the classic Cinderella tail…
Well, I gotta go, but have a merry CHRISTmas!
