Back in the saddle

I am one happy girl to be back in a saddle and riding again. This time with my new Co-worker and buddy Marie. She is so sweet to bring me along riding with her and we are so excited to go all the time together. We rode for three hours straight, barrel racing, loping, and trying to get me used to things again. Much needed girl time. My favorite memories of horseback riding are when my Gpa and I would go on trail rides for hours on end just talking and talking. This was exactly how it was with Marie, we could have rode forever but the cold was killing our cracked hands so we had to call it a day. So many fun trail rides planned I cant wait for the next one!



This shows how happy I was all day to be riding.








Dad~ I am counting down the days till we get to go together for Thanksgiving! :)

Happy Birthday J!!

Happy Birthday to my sweet Jenny girl!

I love this girl so much, So many fun memories together over the years has brought us really close and I am so thankful to have such a sassy fun best friend that makes me laugh constantly. Jenny is without a doubt the funniest person I know, and also one of the sweetest. Hope you truly did have an awesome bday this year J because you deserve it!

XOXO






























Love you!

Cooler weather

The weather is slowly getting cooler. Everyone is complaining about it here. I am loving it. I love the fall leaves, the smell of fresh cool air, the fun hikes up the canyon to see the leaves, candy corn, boots and scarves, and of course my very fav... APPLE CIDER.

We enjoyed a nice hike up the canyon this Sunday to see the leaves. The smell up there was unbelievable. I was in FALL heaven.


Now I realllly cant wait for our SPOOKY camping trip we have planned with friends this weekend!!
















Enjoy the cooler weather and fresh air! its refreshing

Crafty Craft #2

I saw this adorable wreath on a friends blog last fall and knew I had to make it this year. It was so cheap and I cant stop staring at it. I think its my favorite craft so far. If you want to make one of these pretties for yourself go here.




I decided there were absolutely no cute lamp shades out there that would match my house decor so I decided to make my own. SO simple and super cute. I want to do stripes on our bedroom lamps next. If you want to make one of these go here.



Update:
I started my new job today and love loved it! Everyone I work with is LDS and super nice. I got lucky.

We went boating with the Child fam and enjoyed every minute of it. We were so sore the next day from tubing and wake boarding, but it was so so worth it. I am so happy its still 80 degrees and beautiful here!

I finally reached 8 miles for my half marathon training with my sister-in-laws. Accomplishing this was the greatest feeling in the world. I can't wait to cross that finish line with Kim and Rebecca in our Super woman costumes!

Josh is feeling so much better and is doing so well in school. His first hockey game of the season is this week and I am so stoked! Here's to many nights loosing my voice cheering again :) cant wait

Update:
We had a really good weekend vaca in Idaho with the Child fam. We had a blast and really didn't want to come home. Lots of girl time with my sister-in-laws. Josh got to go shooting with the boys and loved every minute of it.

Josh had surgery this week. Poor thing got to the point where he couldn't even swallow a pea without choking. I'm happy to say it went very well and he is back to his happy self.

I have a second interview at a salon on thursday. Crossing my fingers.

Something New. Something Borrowed. Something Blue.

I think its safe to say I have a blogging obsession. I have become super into fashion blogs and I decided to start my own wedding fashion blog on the MWRings website. I cant wait to update it every day. Hopefully its a hit!
