The past few weeks have been pretty crazy. Work has been pretty slow the past few weeks, so I took a mini-vacation. Right now I am in Wamic, Oregon at Camp Morrow. I pretty much love it here. Sun is usually shining and there is very little mud. Today it was very sunny and in western oregon// washington it was snowing again!  I am sooo glad i am not there. Since being at Camp morrow I have been able to ride, doctor horses, be a counselor, enjoy nature, hold little babies, play with Alina and get to know people. It has been intresting getting out of my confort zone again and doing the things that I love doing. It is kind of  fun walking into a field of horses and not knowing anything about them and just start working with them. you dont know the ones that have quirks, the ones that are camper horses or even the ones that have never been riden. It has been a fun challenge. Right now we are doctoring a horse that got caught in barb wire on thursday morning. She got cut up pretty badly on her cannon bone.Luckily the barb wire just nicked the tendon sheath and not cut any tendons. It is pretty swollen but is starting to heal. We know there will be a nasty scar there but we are hopeful that their will be no permenate damage and unsoundness in that leg.

The past few weeks I have been looking for Jobs and looking into going back  to school. I am hoping to get into Portland Community College's  Veterinary Tech program  in Fall 2013 which means I have to get my act togeter to get my prerequirsites done this year. I am filling out Fafsa and Applying to differnt jobs so that I will be able to put money away and to help pay for college. Right now I am applying for a live in night time caregiver posistion and then hopefully i will get the position at Lake Oswego Hunt Club as well. I am pretty sure I can do both this summer, which would allow me to put money into savings. The night time caregive job would also give me week days to go to college full time during the school year and give me free rent  and a salary plus benifiets. Cant really beat that. hopefully I will hear back from the jobs soon..

I really dont know where life is going to take me this year. I feel like i have been floating around in no mans land for 8 months and hopefully i will land sometime soon.. Well, I am here for  5 more days until i head down to Albany Horse Expo. I am still trying to figure out where i am going to stay for that but hopefully i will find out sometime soon. Then  I will be off  to Canyonview to work Spring Break Camp! I am pretty excited about this.  Well i am off to get some things done for a while. maybe i will load some photos later.

  1. Sounds like you're fairly busy! I hope your jobs work out. I know what you mean by floating around in no mans land, kinda where I am right now. Hoping to go to college this fall but not sure if it's gonna work out, and if it doesn't needing to move out from home because that's getting 'stuffy'. God will work everything out! So glad we have him to trust in.
    Keep on smiling!
