Today, I am going to update my blog with two new posts, here is the first part:
This week is a very important week for me. First off, I have a horse show this coming weekend!
Now, right now I am working with horses for a wonderful farm. Though it is long hours in the hot Missouri summer, it is amazing. Working with the horses, and seeing them grow and improve is an amazing experience. I've been riding since I was 9, and like any young girl, was horse obsessed! This weekend, I get to ride my favorite mare, Lizet, in the show. I feel a bond with her that I have only felt with one other horse before. It is the amazing feeling of being on top of the horse, and feeling like you are one. The horse knowing what you want almost before you do. So, needless to say, I am pretty darn exited for this show ( and I place 1st 3 times in the last show)
The other exiting news is on Thursday the 14th, I'll be celebrating my one year anniversary with my wonderful boyfriend, Cole. This past year has had it's ups and downs, with more downs then I care to remember. But, to use a quote by Marilyn Monroe
" If you can't handle me at my worst, you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best"
That is how I feel about this year. We have seen eachother's good sides, as well as the bad, and we are still going strong.
To use myself as an example: I am a messy person, it is somthing I have always know and tried my best to deal with. When I first moved in with cole, I obsessively cleaned everything. But, as a trend with me, books and clothes started migrating from the bedroom and around the house, until it got to the point where is became a big issue, I am still messy, and I'm sure I will always fight it, but I am honestly trying to put my best foot forward and for Cole's sake and my own, try to keep clean. It's a funny thing, going through my old stuff, it's great to see all the memories, but it is also so cathartic to purge unused things.
Cole has seen my bad side. He is well acquainted with messy, insecure, over-emotional, and sometimes passive agressive me. And you know what:
He's still with me.
We both have our faults, but with communication and support, we an help eachother though it.
This anniversary is also very important for me because, though I still have a lot to learn, I am an adult women, living miles away from my family, and I have been decently successful and have created a life for myself I truly enjoy.
The TV show smash said it so well on the season finale:
"And if something good can come from badThe past can rest in peace."
Bad things happen, it's the nature of life, but when the good out weighs the bad, then hold onto whoever, whatever, gives you that happiness.
