Off and Running... and a Birthday Greeting

What a crazy week it will be. Can't wait for next Monday ;)

Just spent the morning doing paperwork for Pony Club events, paying bills, walking with Shauna and getting a few groceries. Whew... there goes my morning!

This afternoon we need to run to Newberg to exchange something at the farm store there, then head to the barn. Hope the rain stays away so Nat can ride outside.

Tomorrow it is back to the dentist, walking with Shauna, and then some shopping with Nat. She has outgrown all of her summer clothes and shoes. Will definitely need summer clothes for our trip to Vegas in a couple of weeks. Boy will we stick out like sore thumbs in Vegas... we will be the white pasty Oregonians in town ;) At the end of the trip, we will be the red sunburned Oregonians in town... LOL.

The rest of the week is a blur of appointments and commitments. I also have some fun stuff to look forward to (coffee w/friends!).

This weekend we will be gone to a Prep Clinic for Pony Club. It is an all-weekend clinic to prepare Natalie and Memo for their next rating (C1). I hope Miss Memo behaves herself.

And a huge shout out to my friend Sam... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SAM!!!


I have known Sam since college. We were sorority sisters. We have been the best of friends ever since. So glad the she is a Pacific Northwesterner now! Love having her so close so we can spend more time together. Sam is a super-duper mom and all-around great person. She is always there to help people out and I am so proud that she is my friend. We have had so many fun times together (too many to list!!) ... crazy times in college (toga!), trips to San Francisco and Santa Barbara, spa days, spring break at the beach with our kiddos, hikes in the forest (remember the suspension bridge?), birthday parties, eating Mexican food and drinking margaritas (our favorite!!), and many a night in the hot tub talking until all hours of the night!

Love you, Sam! Can't wait for our next adventure together!! Thank you for always being there for me... in good times and bad. You have always been a true friend. Happiest of birthdays to you, my dear friend!!
