Yeah, SO this is way over due, but I finally have time to sit down and actually do it. Also Doug was able to revive his laptop so we have that until it finally dies on us. But cross your fingers that it won't any time soon. Anyways on to what I am posting about. So Doug and I went up to Sandpoint again this year to compete with Paradise Stables. This year Doug and I actually got to compete in a few competitions. We both placed in both our competitions. Brian Loomis , put me in for the barrel racing event. I have been trying to convince them to let me do it and this year Brian surprised me and put me in. I was so nervous I started shaking in my saddle. That sounds weird but seriously I was so worried I would come flying off that huge horse once we got around a barrel. But lucky me I stayed on the whole time. So my disclaimer is that the horse had never done the barrels before and I pushed him hard to get it done. Poor Jared got confused when I pointed him at the barrel and kicked him. So we ended up circling the barrel the wrong way which disqualified me. But I still finished and waved to the crowd as I went. It was a really fun year. We appreciate Brian and Larry Loomis for letting us be part of their crew. We loved every minute of it. Next year Jared and I will totally place in the Barrel Race. Well I hope all is great in your neck of the woods.

Hey everyone,
I swear we haven't fallen off the face of the earth. Even though I feel like I have. So yeah this post is me venting.... so I am sorry to you all right now. But anyways so I am in the thick of things with nursing school. I am feeling a little bit (Heck completely) over whelmed. I have two test every week and then on top of that I also have to deal with passing off all the critical techniques. We are not allowed to fail any of these check offs. Which I can see why... would you want a nurse who can't draw your blood correctly. No pressure or anything...... Then I have a big exam dealing with dosage calculations that you have three times to pass (90% or above). Which means you can only miss two questions... no problem ... except I didn't get the math smarts in my family. Which I pray our children get the math smarts from Doug, cus I can't help them there.
O yeah did I mention I get really bad test anxiety too!!!
OK enough of my complaining... I have a lot to be happy about. I have to admit that last night I had a huge meltdown and called Doug on the phone and cried to him. He tried to calm me down and remind me I am smart and can handle this degree. While we were on the phone he suggested I get a blessing from our dear friend Tony. So I called Tony and with in seconds he was over there with another of our friends to give me a priesthood blessing. I am so honored that they could come and help me out. They are wonderful men in our ward. That blessing calmed my nerves and helped me realize that I am not alone and that the lord is with me every step of the way. So I feel so much better now and I know I can take on any challenge as long as I have the lord there with me.
OK I am done venting. I promise to put up pictures of our adventures in Sandpoint, ID as soon as I get done with these exams. Love you all and hope all is great in your neck of the woods.

Alright I know I am not doing my best at updating my blog in a timely manner. Yes, I admit it has taken me nearly a full month to just put my pictures of our vacation in Seattle, Washington. But I am proud to say that this is the last post on Washington vacation....well until we go again. But I promise to do better with my next vacation... this coming week. I think that was my big motivation was the fact that I will have to posted about our Draft Horse Show Competition next week. So anyways on to what I was going to really Blog about.....
Rihanna and I showing the yummy crab!
