21 years and counting...

Crazy. I know. I am now officially 21. I feel a lot older then my actual age lol. But I had a very good birthday. Sean got me some awesome stuff, a long with the rest of my family (both sides :)). But then the fun all ended as the kidney stone pain got worse on Saturday and Sunday. My mom finally took me to the hospital on Monday so we had an idea of how many stones I had and where they were at in my system. So we found out I have two 2.5 Milimeter size stones. One in my right and one in my left (wooo....). Spent all day yesterday on the couch sicker then a dog, today's been better although the kidney pain hasn't ended yet. Sucky, but I live on.

One thing I wanted to talk about is the Tattoo I had recently gotten done. I understand the religious stand point my family (again on both sides) are coming from. But I got it for a very specific reason, and it's a reason that I felt strong enough to share and permanently put on my body.




The two doves represent Sean and I. Doves also represent love, purity, hope (also the theme of our wedding) and Sean and I share all of those with each other. The two branches shaped into a heart shows the commitment and the work we have to make a good healthy marriage. The Sun represents every day is a new day. Although we have problems one day, the sun still rises the next day and its a day to start over. The date is the day we decided to share our lives together.

I know it is hard for some of you and you don't like that I got it. I understand. There are no hard feelings on my end. Just because you don't agree with what I did doesn't mean that I will shun or kick you out of my life, it's not how I do things. I love everyone who is in my life- you guys are here for a reason. So I hope this doesn't fudge the relationships I hold with you. If it does, then okay, I will understand.

Anyways, this weekend (although the kidney pain definitely put a damper on a few things) I also got to go see my CherBear. Even though I'm not able to take care of him the way I used to be, it was like old times with him. We didn't skip a beat. He is a wonderful horse. He helped me get through the death of my horse R.D. and really helped me stick it out with Westernaires. And really, I'm forever grateful to him. I would have regreted quiting for sure. Anyways, the cool part was I was able to bring Ellie along with me to meet him. And she had an absolute ball! She was so comfortable around him. She sat up on him with me while we rode around the arena. He is the best! He was so gentle when Ellie was on.







she got right up there with me and grabbed the reigns herself and was ready to go! I also got to spend the day with my family! It was a good weekend!
