Keeping Busy

Here lately its been kind of busy, which I dont mind at all. Friday June 3rd I got to ride connies horse  (that she recently bought for the grankids) for the first time.  She would not listen to me and was very stubborn, and even bucked a little.  I wanted to take on the challenge of getting her to be a ride-able horse.  Saturday I tried to lunge her but she is desensitised to whips. just my luck.  Sunday I rode her and was able to make ALOT of progress.  I used connies barn as a round pen.  She would listen to all my directions, occasionally she didnt want to go the way I wanted to but I kept at it and she would eventually give in and go the right way.  By sunday evening I was able to trust her enough to canter her and she did great. I couldnt have felt more proud. Tuesday I went back out there and she did even better.  I need to keep at it so that way she doesnt get barn sour again.  I LOVE being able to ride, and build a relationship with this horse. 
Another thing that has been going on lately is we have been getting ready for a garage sale.  A little bit each day we would go through the rooms in the house finding stuff to get rid of.  Then yesterday we went through the garage and priced everything we are selling.  Its not as much as I would have thought but hopefully its enough to get a little extra money.
Other than that is has been a usual week. Ryans working, he has been watching the mavs basketball games.  We are trying to figure out what to do with his vacation time.  Its hard to choose, there arent too many things we can do because of our budget.  I have 2 parties booked for my stella and dot job.  Im excited! Macie has been talking up a storm. Shes learning so many more words.  I love being able to be with her all day, I dont miss anything new she says or does :)
well thats about it for this week!
