More pictures

Looooooooooong trip

I just thought I would put up some of my favorite pictures from this weekend. Mike, Mom, Dad and I were watching Elinore while Jen and Kevin were on a retreat in Indiana. We had such a great time with Ella. We went to Meijer gardens, out for ice cream, out to dinner, sailing, to an art festival, etc. We had a few mishaps with remembering to bring things. At dinner, the night we went out, we got to the restaurant, ordered and then realized we didn't have Elinore's bib, silverware or books/toys to keep her busy. Fortunately we had one diaper in the bag, which we needed and I fashioned a skirt out of the joey Jen used to carry Elinore around in when she was a baby.

She was so excited to go sailing on Dad's boat and even helped him steer. I could not have asked for a more fun weekend, except to have had Caity, Jen and Kevin all there. On the way back Mike and I went to Crane's to get apples and didn't get lost coming back, thanks for the directions guys!

Flint

Members of the equestrian club doing concessions at the mustang sale. Halley is the one making the face and she's my roomie!

One of the mares I wanted to buy

The other mare I fell in love with, both of them sold

Sabbath our kitty we adopted, she's the sweetest little lady ever and she's still young. Housebroken, clean, quite and she doesn't shed much.

I feel in love with the gelding, he was the first and one of the 3 sold from his pen.

The third picture is of the Jack burros, they all sold, however one was brought back the day after he was sold because the people who bought him said they didn't have room.

The last picture is of Mason in his turn-out paddock and Mike.

Back at School

I thought I would show everyone what our apartment looks like. I didn't take a picture of the second bedroom because my other roommates were napping. We all really like it and it's pretty big and we have quite a few pets. We have 2 tanks with fish, a tank with a turtle and some sand crabs (Sara's), 2 baby ball pythons (Kristin's), a cat named Sabbath and Halley wants to get a guinea pig.

School is hard, I had my first chemistry exam last week and I got it back today and I didn't do as well as I would have like, but I didn't fail. 75/100 :-( Hopefully it will get better. We had our first Equestrian Club event, a Mustang and Burro auction held at the barn and my lessons have started up again. I'm putting up a few pictures of the kitty, the auction and the horses I ride, Mason and Flint.


Other than that, there isn't really anything new going on. Just the same ol' story of class, studying, sleeping, eating, working out, riding, etc. I look forward to getting away on the weekends as much as I can. I'm not up for the partying so I'd rather go somewhere and have my kind of fun...playing board games and such, yes I am in fact a big nerd. I can't wait to see everyone soon!

Here we are

Just thought I'd post this photo of all of us at the beach this weekend. The weather couldn't have been more beautiful, and it was really fun to all be together!
