| SPRING FEVER HUNTER/JUMPER SHOW
This past weekend we had a GREAT time at Equi-Life's Spring Fever Horse Show in Kelowna, BC. The weather was hot, the kids were cute and the horses were beautiful. Most of you know about our great friends Jesse and Lindsay who run a horse training and rescue business called Equi-Life. They are such amazing people and they do an outstanding job with all the horses here at Twin Creek. Not only is Lindsay a very patient, kind and knowledgeable coach.... she always makes you feel like the best student around. That is so motivating when you are trying to learn such a difficult sport. She is also a great person to be around. They both are! Jesse and Lindsay are such sweet people with so much passion for animals! I really like how they keep a positive, encouraging and fun environment around the barn.
Here are a few collages that I made for the Hunter event on Saturday. I will be sharing a few more Jumper collages from the event on Sunday. Check back soon....

| IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY GRANDPA...
Most of you already know that we lost my Grandma on May 5th just 2 weeks ago and now my Grandpa has passed on to be with her as well. Just 7 days after my Grandma's funeral, we lost Grandpa too. It is really hard on their children (my mom and her siblings) to lose both parents so close to the same date, but at the same time it's also very sweet that they went together. I know that I would want it the same way if it were Gary and I. It's just so hard to lose the ones you love and when you have been together 51 years and you die within 10 days of each other, I think it's kind of romantic. You don't choose the day you will die (typically) and when you see two people that loved each other so much, leave this earth together.... amazing. Reminds me of the movies.... like The Notebook. What a tear jerker that movie was!!!
We will miss you Grandpa!

|  FINANCIAL INFIDELITY
I
just saw an interesting topic on the Today Show and I thought I would
share what I heard. They say that "Financial Infidelity" is about as
bad as actually cheating on your spouse. It's actually when people
spend money in a secretive way, usually money that they shouldn't be
spending or spending in a way that could be detrimental to the
marriage.
Tips to help you stay away from this:
#1 Establish your own accounts
#2 Set 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' limits (within your budget in your own account)
#3 Hold monthly money meetings
#4 Validate your value
#5 Run your home like a business
Validate
your value would be for parents that stay at home. You need to decide
what that job would be worth if you were to hire someone to do those
things for you. If you are taking care of the kids, cleaning the
house, cooking and managing the home. Be the CEO of your household. | | |
| WOOPS... MISSED THIS POST....
So I have been missing a lot
of blogs lately because I haven't entered them all back into my
favorites and I guess Janey did a really sweet post about me for my
birthday and I totally missed it! I am sorry Janey! You probably
thought I was snobbing you when I didn't comment. I wasn't, I just
missed it and now that I saw it, I love it!
Anyway if you don't read her blog,
you need to start. She is an awesome writer and her pictures are
gorgeous!!! I have seen her business explode from all the talent this
girl has and I am so excited to see all the things she will do in the
future. She is one of the sweetest people I know. Gary and I just
love her so much! When we are with her, it's constant giggling! I
admire and respect her so much because there are just so many things
about her that I strive to be like. She is kind, loving, caring,
THOUGHFUL, responsible and most of all FUN! I think she lives life in
a way that is very honorable and I really admire that!
Check out the post she did about me for my birthday.
