Life Changes..........

Well I havent really shared much on the blog in awhile... I am a facebook junkie and thats where I share everything.  So many life changes are happening lets see if I can catch yall up real fast. As most of you know the horse bug bit me Dec. 2012, I have three horses now and you can read about them HERE.  I've been learning as I go, the past 7 months I've been hanging out at a friends barn, helping her with her horses, she does rescue and adopts the horses out... shes who I bought my Clue from.  Brian and I have decided we need more land... the animals need more land and we would love to have land to make tails on and ride anytime we want.  So our home and land is up for sale... please keep us in your prayers, we really need to move.  We plan on saying in the Hart County, Ky. area, we love it here and all our friends.  Most of you know Kaylin and Mark were married a year this past June... hes been in the Marines almost a year now... long story short about 2 months ago Mark told Kaylin we wanted a divorce.  The whole family didnt understand and we were all hurt but after thinking about it and opening our eyes to things we didnt want to see and talking to God this divorce is a good thing... Kaylin has become a stronger woman because of it and shes much happier.  I wish the best in life for them both.  The last of my life changing news is after almost 10 years of being a stay at home mom.......... I GOT A PAYING JOB, lol.  Tomorrow makes 2 weeks that I've been working at a local barn, Cardinal Farms. Cardinal Farms is an American Saddlebred training and breeding facility.  I still have a lot to learn but like everything else I do in life... I'm learning as I go.
