{ Life update }

Things here on my end have been stressful, not a good way to start out the new year :(  BUT I am holding my head high and standing my grounds no matter what.  I will fight for what is right.  I cannot go into detail but I have some issues at my work that I am having to resolve with the Union and it isn't going over very well. I will not go down without a fight.  When I know I am wrong then I back down and apologize and go on with my life,  but when I know I am right I do not give up without a HUGE fight.  So this fight is emotionally draining me and pretty stressful and makes the work environment pretty hostile. :(  But like I said I keep my head held high go to work and do my job and come home to my beautiful family.  That is the best I can do.

The family and I ( mostly me ) is looking to buy a horse,  No big rush. We are looking for the right one for our family.  It has to be one that the girls can handle and not a green broke one.  I want a mellow horse that I can teach the girls on from the ground work ( brushing, grooming etc. ) and work up to teaching them how to ride.  So this will eventually be a new edition to our family now that we have more than plenty room for one.

Steve's busy season for his business has started back up so he will be gone a lot again, working his events plus he has started the volunteer fire academy to become a volunteer out here in our fire district.  So yea he stays busy as usual.  This man NEVER wants to slow down.  And if he does it doesn't last long :(  But I am learning to take what time I get with him and let him do whatever he loves and go with it. :)

The girls are LOVING our new home and their new freedom to go outside without having me worry constantly.  At our old place I could never let me out with me standing in the middle of the road cause we were on a blind corner and people would fly around the corner.  Here we are behind a coded gate and they can go out and ride up and down the driveway and to the barn all day long and play outside all day without me having to worry about them being ran over by a car or abducted. So they are just loving it. That makes me happy.

And we are all enjoying our nightly sunsets when we are home in the evenings... this is one I captured last week.  It was amazing!!
