Hello Tumblr,
It’s been 7 years.
Let’s go back i guess.
Where was I in 2019:
Growing in my snowboarding skill. Starting dating a cowboy who I thought was end game. That didn’t end well, but it opened many doors for me. Was hard to leave, but in hindsight sight I was greater up it ended. Started a career in Vetmed. Learned what I could at the first clinic. It was a dream as far as i knew.
2020:
Covid. Interesting times. I didn’t really know what was happening when this year started. Started dating my current boyfriend. Lost 35 pounds.
2021:
My grandfather passed New Year’s Day. Things can only go up from here right? Started roping the dummy regularly to prep for the horse i was saving for. Snowboarded a bunch. Got a gnarly concussion. Got my first dog. Purchased a charcoal Labrador (would not recommend purchasing designer colors), but he’s the best dog I could ever ask for. Started seriously horse shopping. Purchased my dream horse.
2022:
BRING HOME my dream horse. He initially wasn’t what I thought. Humbled me in many ways. Ended up sending him to training because I needed help. He was a lot for where I was skill wise. Eventually leveled with him & brought him home to stay. We continued to grow together throughout the year.
2023:
Get serious about roping. Riding a lot. Going on a lot of trail rides. Riding 6 - 7 days a week. I travel to Budapest to visit my boyfriend on a job. Come home. Continue working on roping. My mom gets married. We find a stress fracture in my horse’s left front P2. This sucks, but it’s small & recoverable. Traveled to Texas to visit my boyfriend’s mother. Get my CDL. Go to the Era’s Tour. Horse gets cleared for exercise again! Boyfriend buys a condo & we move! Had to move to a new ranch that was spectacular. Don’t forget we’re still upping our roping game!
2024:
More trial rides. More snowboarding. I hit a boulder this year going through the trees & had a bruise the size of my thigh. Started doing horse hauls for people. Went on multiple beach rides with the horses. Visited my grandparents in Kentucky. (I’ll never go back… this trip was horrible). Got my firsts big wrangler job in South Texas for 1923. Brix came with me. Then eventually I traveled to Montana.
2025:
Went to King of Hammers for the first time with my boyfriend. We tent camped & it sucked because conditions weren’t ideal. Started entering in more ropings because Brix & i needed to start getting our feet wet. More trail rides involved obviously. Started going to the gym to lose weight. Started riding in an English saddle to improve my riding position. Started working regularly with my dear friend who’s a vet & needed a technician. Learned so much about teeth & other things. Grandparents came to visit. They got to watch me carry the American flag for Memorial Day. Spent some time prepping for some jobs. Purchased a new tow vehicle. Went to Texas 3 or 4 times. Carried the flag again for the 4th of July. Spent some time in Utah working on a project that comes out March 1st. Went back to Texas again. Went back to Utah then back to Texas AGAIN. Lost Brix. Oh the heartbreak. Same day receive the u;lit ate gift of Jay. Go back to Texas, bring Jay home. Remodel bathroom in condo bought in 2023.
2026:
Continuing to work with Jay & live in a positive mindset.
This is where we’re at. Working on not drowning in emotions daily & being a better person daily.
