Kryptonite and I had our first event (horse show) at the Missoula
Equestrian Park this past Saturday! I’ve posted pictures on my mom’s
webshots page if you’d like to see my little boy and I. We had a great
time, and I am totally hooked on eventing now (which consists of a
dressage test, cross country jumping, and stadium jumping).…

After much deliberation we decided to go looking for a new car to save some money each month on both the car payment and the fuel costs. We found both in a new 2006 Ford Freestyle.
We looked at the Honda Odyssey first.…

I put up some new pictures from my regional show which took place today. I placed fourth in my class of eight, which unfortunatly was not high enough to proceed on to the zones and then national show.

Why is it that there are so many years between our family reunions? Is it because of the distance? The cost?
Dianne’s family has a family reunion every year in Oklahoma. It’s not too fancy, but it’s nice. It’s at a state park, near a big lake, and it’s cheap!…
