It's been a week already since we moved to Cali!

I can't believe it's been almost a week since April Fool's! I am sorry to all those who followed along and then got a BIG surprise that we didn't actually move to Cali (California) although with the weather the last few days it would have been a dream come true. So for your comfort I won't play an April Fool's joke next year....or will I (insert eyebrow lift, eyebrow lift) It's just so fun! Exhausting but fun! Lol! I still have my fake pregnancy test from 2010, ha! ha! THAT I promise to never do EVER again! Tell people you are pregnant...SHEESH! I was getting comments for a whole year on that one! So Kyle is dealing with his horse fetish again. Everynight I've come home to a new horse in the pasture. He says everyone in our family needs a horse. I look at him with my arms crossed and my eyebrows lifted. "Seriously" I say and He replies with "Yeah. Some families buy bikes or 4 wheelers, we buy horses for entertainment." Who can argue with that right? A man who is thinking of his family and spending time with them is so sweet. Well with almost 13 years together I know how to read his mind. I DO! Seriously! I knew what was next. It's kind of like the book "If you give a mouse a cookie". In the book a boy gives a mouse a cookie, then he needs milk, then a camera and so on and so forth...Well in our case if you give a man a horse he needs new bridles and saddles, and chaps, and blankets and soon (with in an hour) he said...wait for it..."Hun I need a new pickup so we can haul these horses to places." yep I read his mind alright. I just shook my head and said what any good wife would say "Whatever makes you happy Hun." and I meant it. Some men fish, some men watch sports, some men golf and drink beer, mine likes cows and horses. He lives for livestock! So I should be thankful his butt isn't planted infront of a 80 inch big screen watching men in tight pants fight over a pigskin. :-) So I decide to engage myself in his interest. I use to ride horses ALL of the time when I was younger. So on Sunday in between conference sessions I decided to get on Shasta, the big brown brother of Cola. He took me for a ride!! As soon as I got on him he took off like one big brown bolt of lighting. I couldn't get him to stop. He ran and ran until I guess he was thirsty because that's where he headed. And EEEEEEErch!! Right infront of the water troph. I hopped off and handed the reigns to Kyle. "How did I look?" I asked. He said "Scared out of your mind" I just laughed and went inside. For the last three days, even though I'm walking around like a 60 year old bull-legged cowboy I think I did pretty good! And that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
