Where did 2014 go? It feels like just last week I was sitting down to write my 2014 resolutions and making a plan for the coming year. Now here we are and it is 2015 and I am trying to figure out where I am and what I want to do for the next year. I think there will be some big changes for me, and I'm not sure where I want to start.
2014 won't go down as my best year ever. In March I lost my best horse. (Yeah, I know it was just a horse and if it doesn't get any closer than the barn, we're alright). It was a partnership developed over 13 years and I really expected him to be the horse to teach my boys how to rope. It hurt. In May, the Cowboss, QT, a couple of cowboys, and I along with a trailer load of horses were in a frightening car accident that we are so blessed (horses included) to have all walked away from. (Yes, I believe in guardian angels). Both QT and I can scratch riding in an ambulance off our bucket lists! Not to be out done, in July we had a 4th ER trip with TR to get stitches in his armpit. For a bit it felt like we weren't going to catch a break!
Along with the not so great, a lot of great things happened in 2014. We survived first grade. That was huge. At this time last year, we weren't really sure we were going to make it! QT started Kindergarten and my world didn't end. Both boys had horses buck with them and they rode them. I got bucked off, but got back on. We saw amazing cattle prices and were able to pay off all of our cows. I got a new dog. I'm still working on finding the horse that fits me.
As 2014 ends I am happy to report that we survived! We have made some new friends along the way, learned many lessons (some the hard way!), and are anxious to see what 2015 throws our way because I'm pretty sure we can handle it! My goals for 2015 are to focus more on myself. Selfish I know, but I want to be the best wife, mom, and person I can be. I want to be healthier and happier, so I can be the best person I can.
Happy New Year! Hope 2015 brings you great things!
