My Real Home

Holy biscuits and gravy!

[PREPARE FOR A PICTURE OVERLOAD]

I promise I didn't fall off the

face of the earth, I've been so

busy having the

TIME OF MY LIFE

at my new home

I absolutely love it here!

I have found so much peace and joy in living in the mountains away from phones, internet, and other distractions. Before I got here I didn't think that I would be able to go without being in contact with people, but it turns out that I have everything that I ever needed right here.

I have some of the best friends that have become my FAMILY in the last month and a half. It's such a comfort knowing that these people would take a bullet for me, and I would do the same. We go into town twice a week to get away from the ranch but always end up hanging out with each other. Crazy how you can

live with people and think that you could use a break, but you can't get enough of each other.

 We smash six people on a three man couch to watch movies

 We plant jelly bean trees and laugh so hard that we fall off the fence

(Kyresa, Erin, Kate, and I)

 We eat chips out of the bag because we are too busy working to wash our hands

(Myself, Erin, and Emile)

 Sometimes it takes an hour for us to agree on which movie we want to watch, so we take pictures

(Myself, Kate, Kyresa, and Erin)

 The T-Cross knows how to do the Fourth of July!

Let's just say baseball, pie eating contest, water fight, and the girls creaming the boys at tug of war made our summer complete.

(Kate, Emile, Elissa, Erin, Me, Linsey)

 By far this was the best week of the summer. We had so much fun with these guests!

We'll be road trippin' to Georgia to visit them!

(Andrew, Lins, Ansley, Myself, Erin, Kate, Elissa, and Michael)

 We were only allowed to ride the plastic ponies for a while because we're accident prone :)

(Em, Erin, and me)

 And whenever we have free time (whatever that is) we go tanning by the pond.

The girls. Luckily we haven't had any drama and we all get along extremely well

(Erin, Em, Me, Lins, Elissa, and Kate)

There are not enough good things that I can say about this place! I love being around all the horses. Lins and I have been dubbed the 'doctors' so we get to spend a lot of time with them.

 Poor Dodie had a bruised foot

 Lenny got caught up in a fence

 Lins and I stole Fancy for some bareback time :)

By the time we got done with Dodie, she was so irritated that she stomped my toes. 

Lins and I now have a saying: "SON OF A DODIE" for everything that goes wrong.

It's so beautiful here. I've taken a lot of walks and a few rides. Every day I am constantly reminded of the blessings that I have by being here.
