TV

I am counting the minutes until tonight's season premiere of Grey's Anatomy. This is one show that I have to admit I'm truly addicted to (with One Tree Hill coming in at a close second). Maybe it's because I'm not at home during the day to watch soap operas that I love this show so much. I think I love this show for the same reason I loved "Who's The Boss" when I was little. Derek and Meredith are bound to end up together just like Tony and Angela were. Of course, if Derek and Meredith do become a permanent couple, it will probably be the end of Grey's Anatomy - I'm not sure I could handle that.

Lindsay's First Horse Show with Dan

Dawn just sent me pictures of Lindsay's first horse show with Dan. We went to this show back in July. It POURED that day - you'll notice our sopping wet hair and clothes in a lot of the pictures. This was an awesome experience for me as Lindsay's "coach". She did a wonderful job and Dan was awesome. I love him so much...don't know if I could ever really sell him.

Happy Anniversary, Kara & Paul!

Tomorrow is my good friends Kara and Paul's 4th wedding anniversary. I cannot believe that it has been four years already! Now they have Ava and she is the cutest little thing ever!! Love you guys! Happy anniversary.

Happy Birthday, Josh!

Happy birthday big brother! Yesterday, my 2nd oldest brother Josh turned 36... wow! I can hardly believe how old we are all getting. It seems like yetserday that we were playing laser tag in our house on Osborne Road. Josh - hope you're able to do something really fun for your birthday. We think about you every day and are hoping that you are safe and well. Happy Birthday! We love you!

TGIF

It is Friday! I am so happy. The past two weeks at work have been crazy! That's a good thing though. :)
We have a fun weekend planned....Tonight we're headed to Hacienda for my Uncle Billy's 39th birthday. The whole Cole clan will be there so it should be a fun time. Can't wait to see Carlee, Kendall and Little Trace (Marnie and Billy too)!
Tomorrow we are headed out for some tailgating. DJ is going to the game with Adam. Here's a pic of Adam dressing up with his roommates last season. Go Irish!

Going crazy...

Work has been absolutely insane this week. I think there must be a full moon or something. It has been one crisis after another. I feel like I'm struggling to keep my head above water. On top of all this, I need to start preparing my presentation for a nurses group in Albany, as well as my materials for a visit to my clients in NYC. Luckily, Jen (my boss) has been incredibly supportive and level-headed. Her calm nature has been great for all of us. Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday! I'll be ready for happy hour for sure.

This is a great place to vent! I feel better already. :)

On a more positive note, I went to ride a new horse last night. His name is Mister. He's a 10 year-0ld quarter horse. He has a great foundation and would be a good horse for me, but I'm not ready to commit yet. When I bought Dan, I knew right away that he was for me. He is so big and beautiful and I felt comfortable with him right away. With Mister, that wasn't the case. I haven't ruled him out, but I'm excited to start looking for a barrel horse!

Happy Birthday, Mrs. Hilliard!

Today is my friend Jennifer's birthday. She just moved to Denver and even though I didn't see her much before she moved, I miss her. Jennifer if you read this, have a happy birthday! Hi to Jason. Hope you guys are enjoying Colorado. :)
