2019... I like it

So, it has been unbelievably cold here as of late so my barn time has consisted of brief trips out to feed the ponies and visually confirm that they are alive. While I hibernate and hide from the -60 wind chills (I wish I was kidding), Reggie and Vienna ignore the hay thrown in their cozy shelter and meander back out into the wind to their round bale. What!! Are they actually unfeeling cyborgs?! They’re insane at the very least. The knuckleheads.

My AZ friends have been pestering me, asking when I am arriving for the Scottsdale Arabian horse show. The best horse show of the year. Two weeks in the sun in a gorgeous setting with some of the best people and of course the most beautiful horses on the planet. But! This year, despite my originally planned vacation getting cancelled I will not be heading to the desert. Why, you ask? 

I am heading in the complete opposite direction. I met a boy. Unexpectedly. We had an adorable meet-cute in October on Twitter coming to the defense of my favorite beer (Spotted Cow) when someone insulted it by calling it a “girly beer”.  We started messaging and have pretty much been talking daily since then, getting to know each other. I feel like a complete giddy idiot when we talk. I break out in a smile whenever I pick up my phone and have a message waiting from him. He is incredibly handsome, has a great heart and makes me laugh. He has no idea how wonderful he is. I’m flying out to see him to confirm whether we have the same chemistry in person and spend a week together. I’ve never done anything like this before in my life. But this feels different than anything I’ve experienced before. I really like this guy. A lot. 

I’m simultaneously excited beyond belief to finally get to spend time with him and also a bit terrified/nervous!! I fly out in a week and a half.  Holysmokes, this is happening! ❤️

A New Feeling

My heart is so full. ❤️ The trip to Syracuse went better than I ever imagined. When my plane landed, I was exhausted. My journey was sup...
