60? nevermind, and where we go from here.

I was all excited to see Slow and Steady Wins the Race finally broke out of the 50's and officially had 60 followers.  I 'was' going to come and post about it today.  Then I logged on and the number 59 caught my eye.  Uh?  Well it was very short lived and we are back in the 50's.  It is fine I would not blame anyone.  I am actually surprised any of you stick around.  Between my terrible grammar, my short attention span, inability to proof read and lack of use of spell check it is enough to drive anyone crazy.  But either way I am grateful for all 59 of you.  This blog has become a significant part of my life and I know that only through it have Steady and I come as far as we have.  I makes me keep note of each step whether it be forward or backward.  It helps me analyze, re-analyze and over analyze each ride, lesson and thought process.  And in starting this blog is how I have found many of my favorite blogs to read.  The amount I have learned through those blogs is immeasurable.  So thanks for sticking around, reading and commenting.

A quick personal note.  Things between my husband and I are starting to get better.  We went to counseling.  He was able to express how he felt and feel like I really heard him and his concerns.  He also agree to work toward a compromise.  So one step at a time we are heading in the right direction.  He even seems much happier just by getting to get it all out.  So good good news.

Just few posts ago I laid out our schedule and plan for this season.  After last weekend I felt like I needed to re-evaluate a bit.  I have not made any decisions for sure yet but I am thinking we won't be doing the IEA HT the first of June.  I will most likely be going as a volunteer instead of a competitor.  I am ok with this.  But like I said I have not made a clear decision about it yet.  My full decision will be made when I go down to lesson with Dorothy and clinic with Peter.  I will know more then what direction will be best for us to head.  There are also big decisions on my mind concerning the future but I think that merits a separate post. 

I hope all of you that are going to Rolex this weekend have a fabulous time.  I have chosen to stay home in light of all of my marital issues as of late.  I am saving up my 'horse credits' for the real important stuff.  Like leaving for 3 days in just two weeks to go to Lexington for the clinic!  I am excited and super anxious that we will not be as prepared as we should be.  I haven't been on my horse since Saturday and that needs to change and it will today.

Edited to add this:

This goes to show that a still photo can really be decieving.  If you looked at these on their own and I was not as honest of a person as I am you would think we rocked the show last weekend.
