I haven't been on here in awhile. I looked back at my last post in October and am physically sick with myself. I never went ahead with my plans as OTA until today when I finally filled out my FAFSA. This isn't the only thing bugging me but it is a good start. I would honestly love to go back to school but realistically I don't have the money to do so or the availability to quit my job to do so. I really really wish I could though and I'm not giving up. I'll catch you up on what I've been up to these last 8 months.

Shortly after posting my last update I started dating a new guy and somehow haven't scared him away. In February we went on vacation in Florida and had a blast and are looking forward to another one in August. I also have a sneaking suspicion that he may propose on this next vacation and I think I'm finally ready to say yes! Alright some background on the boy. His name is Mike, he is 5 years older than me, 3 out of 4 in the family, in the Marine Corps from 2001-2005(1st Marines, was in Fallugia when the statue fell), has his quirks but can always make me laugh. We were looking at houses but neither of us really has credit so we are building credit and then looking again around November. His parents like me a lot and I frequently bond with his mom. Ok enough with him, what else has happened...

Baby horse was given to a family friend after where I board at raised fees again and couldn't afford to keep her. She is doing great and has a friend in an old donkey. GC had some abscesses recently but is fine and trail ready now, yay!

Hmm...I'll try updating more often because I feel like I'm forgetting things :)

This is going to be a short post as I'm too tired to really think. I've been super busy with work (whole new nightmare) and with the monster baby horse. I also helped a friend rescue a mare who was completely neglected and had an almost dead foal at her side. (he had to be euthanized) But I want you all to know I am occasionally reading on here and have forgot no one. More updates to come soon!
