last summer weekend or first of school/fall time weekend?

so, school is here. its funny how once i start school suddenly the days that i go to work don't seem as bad as they did when i went during the summer.... i understand this to a certain point, but school really isn't THAT BAD to make such a difference....  maybe something to think about?

anyway. i went on horse ride this past weekend with jon. it was nice. it stared nice and ended nice. however, right around the middle of the ride it got a little bumpy. so jon suggested i try to gallop instead of trot.... cuz that's what he was going to do. (galloping is a much smoother ride than trotting. also, in my inexperienced horse-person opinion, a lot scarier)
and he and his horse did do that.
then my horse decided she was going to do that too....
and it suddenly got A LOT bumpier when i told her she was, in fact, NOT going to do that, and i soon landed my rump NOT on a horse.

jon tried his best to keep a smile off his face as he raced back to see and ask if i was okay (he got to watch the whole thing).... he's lucky he looks so good on a horse.... but in his defense, he did take credit for my fall. and i understand it has probably been eating at him to just finally be able to take off on his horse...

at least i have more experience now right?

(henry loves me) my horse riding outfit. jon told me i need to get boots. i see nothing wrong with my nikes but i also see nothing wrong with getting another pair of shoes either.... 

speaking of shoes. you are looking at my new favorites. not only are they a good looking pair, they are SO comfy.  also, check out chuck's cute (big) mug. (he also loves me)
