Afterwards we went and road some of our favorite horses.
I really like this one. Scrunched up nose and everything.
When Taylor was two years old. He LOVED horses. They were his favorite thing. He hasn't loved them quite as much, but I figured he would be the most excited to ride. 5 minutes after getting there, his eyes puffed up and his nose started pouring. I felt so sad. Justin has major dust allergies, so we are hoping it was from the dust around the stables and in the hay and not the horses.
I hope these boys realize how incredibly lucky they are to have a grandma that loves horses and loves that she gets to pass on that love to them. Mom gave them Corbin a lesson and towards the end he was riding on his own. (Of course my mom had been riding on her own for years at this point)
And this is officially my most favorite picture. (that smile on Justin is the first thing I noticed about him and fell in love with)
I love this country. I think more than ever. It's amazing to realize the freedoms we have. The right to work where we want, to have as many children as we want (as long as you can take care of them financially and emotionally), to have education, to choose our religion, and to own our own homes. After 3 months of waiting for our own home again, this one means a lot to us. After such a long time we just found out today that we got the official approval on the home, it's going to be ours. I can't tell you the amount of gratitude and relief I feel right now! I am thrilled to have so many new memories and wonderful years in this new place soon. (and it has a front porch!!) Perfect to wave one American flag in the land I love.
