Myrtle Beach

In a Wordless Wednesday fashion, here are photos of my trip to Myrtle Beach!

For some reason Dad and I didn't take a ton of photos. Maybe we were too busy relaxing? ;)

View from our hotel:

Outings:

The biggest Chicken Parmesan I have ever seen.

In comes Irene:

Ripley's Aquarium (my camera didn't like the aquarium, but I thought some of the pictures were worth sharing anyways!):

Changes

I feel like so much is changing lately. They are all going to be changes for the good, but it still makes me a bit uncomfortable. Too much change at once is overwhelming.

First of all, we are moving my older sister to Chicago tomorrow. She has never really moved out before. Sure she went away to school for a bit, but she was only two hours away and came home every weekend for work. This time she is seriously moving out, since Chicago is six hours away. We are very close, so it is going to be different not having her around all the time. Although she is annoying and super loud, I really am going to miss her so much. But, she is going back to school and this will be such a good opportunity for her. She is very brave and I am so proud of her.

On top of that, I feel like I am growing up a lot. I just finished my third quarter of college which means I am now a sophomore. I am not sure how I feel about that…a lot of mixed emotions. Also, I have started serving full time at work now. It is a lot more money, but it is going to be strange not being a hostess like I have been for the past three years.

Finally, the weather is changing! After some random snow a few weeks ago, it is getting warm and staying warm! In fact, Sonny got to have his blanket off for the first time this year! Boy, did he love that! There is nothing like a good, naked mud bath!

I will be gone for the next few days, but hopefully I can get some serious tack making done when I return!

A Bit About Me

I figured I should probably introduce myself. My name is Emily, I am from Ohio, and I have been riding since I was 5 years old. I have loved horses and horse things my whole life. I always had Barbie horses, but wasn't introduced to Breyers until later on. I remember my first Breyer was Lonesome Glory. I started photoshowing in 2005 when I got my first resin, and went to my first live show in 2009.

My first resin on the day he arrived in the mail.

I currently own one horse, LCP Sonny Barpasser. Sonny is quite a character and really is a joy to be around. We play with Parelli and just have fun.I have shown dressage for most of my life, but it became too much of a job and lost the "fun" part. So, I sold both of my dressage horses a few years ago ad purchased Sonny as a horse to just have fun with and that is what we do!

I am currently attending the Ohio State University, so I am particularly busy. But, I have the motivation to keep up with this blog.
