Picture of the day and a still sick horse:(

It was beautiful and sunny with blue skies all morning and early afternoon and within 20 min this!!! It was a crazy winter storm that came in 3 spurts. I love the snow and winter storms but not today.  Pringle did great all last night and even this morning.  Was eating, drinking, and going to the bathroom and then at about 12:30 started acting uncomfortable and then broke out sweating again and wanting to roll.  So I got the vet coming again and tried walking him which he didn't do for long before he refused and by the time the vet got here he wasn't sweating anymore and his heart rate had gone back down but he was still acting very painful so we decided to do another round of mineral oil, electrolytes and such. PRAYING it works!!!  This weather isn't so fun to battle that.  Was really hoping we could get moved before all these crazy weather changes.  But hopefully only like 2 more weeks.

Husband still in Oregon and an emergency Vet call

Well Eric is in Oregon still looking for a rental place for us.  Not a whole lot of luck yet but one possibility that my husband loves but we would have to board our horses elsewhere.  Which that may have to happen for a while, but I just like being able to watch my horses throughout the day.  Especially after yesterday our weather changed fast and hard.  It went from around 68 to 43 in about 20 min and then it got colder and rained and then sleet and then snow.  And unfortunately Pringle coliced again:(  He seems prone to that in severe weather changes.  So called the bet out got him some meds and tubed him and so far he seems better. Will keep a close eye on him next few days and nights.  Of course it always has to happen when I am by myself and with my body so messed up right now It made things even worse.  But just glad he is ok.
  So we are praying to find a house by the end of this week so Eric can head back this way and we can get packed up and out of here!  We are both so excited and so ready to say goodbye to Colorado.

Halloween stuff,Travel, and failing picture a day

So first off I have totally failed myself and my friend B at the picture a day.  But honestly my life this year hasn't been all that interesting.  Mostly just doctors, doctors, doctors.. oh and physical therapy.  So haven't had a lot to share. I need to get to it though and share something.  like how embarrassing my house is right now in complete state of being ripped apart and gone through to pack:)

Husband left today for Oregon to find us housing and to look at jobs also.  The housing is the biggest part at the moment.  I know he won't have an issue finding work but housing that allows our zoo may be more difficult.  But something is out there and we are VERY excited to make the move.  It will be so awesome to be closer to friends and family.  To have people to spend the holidays with and friends to just enjoy time with.  Will definitely help with my injury to have others to keep my occupied while we work at fixing me:)

We did carve pumpkins yesterday before he went.  we didn't want to forgo the tradition but I can say I really made my arms angry but it is memories being made so we can't give up those:)  Just can't wait for the move to be all done.  And now hopefully more picture of the days and stories to go with:)  And I will be able to do a picture of the day with my friend "B" since we will be so much closer:)  SOOOOOO EXCITED!!! Can't ya tell:)

my pumpkin on the left and Handsomes on the right

Oregon bound sooner than later:)

Well we had to make the decision to have Eric be done with his job.  It wasn't a hard decision with BS he went through daily.  But with his 14+hrs a day 7 days a week he had no time to pack things up since my injury makes me mostly worthless on this endeavor   And we can't move out without finding a place out there first and we can't do that without going out there.  So we will be heading out probably next week sometime to take a load and look at housing and hopefully some jobs for eric.  We are hoping to be all done and moved by thanksgiving.  Hopefully little sooner with how fast the weather changes.  It will just be nice to be close to friends and family and to get a fresh start with new doctors and no political issues between them as been the issue lately with mine.  So we are scared and excited about all this.
   Got a lot of things to still figure out but it will all work out and we are praying GOD will show us all the right things to do.

New Doctors and finally some new hope for healing

Well I have been working on as much packing as I can, which is slim to none with my arms and neck pain.  But I finally had to throw a fit and say do something!! They just kept putting it off and off and I had run behind current doctors expertise.  But instead of him just admitting that which is totally fine he said take some anti depressants and go see a therapist and you be fine.  I was LIVID!!!  So I called my work comp caseworker and told her what had happened she was very upset.  She said that was unacceptable and that with all the tests showing the issues that should have never occurred   She said it happens more than it should and more than you think.  So not right.  But I have heard others say that to so I am not alone.  So they arranged for me to see a different doctor that does acupuncture  massage, and chiropractics.  Since my body doesn't do well with all the medications this is a great start.  And I love him.  He really seems to think he can help me.  He is appalled at how long they have let this go and the lack of treatment earlier on.  He is just worried that my nerves are to scared to recover so we are praying that isn't the case.  He said my case is complex and it will take time but he holds out hope to help me or find the help I need.  So I am excited for that.
   But we were hoping to move by Nov 1st so now we may have to push that back some:(  But if it means I am better and can move on in life it is worth it.  We are still going to pack everything and even take a load maybe in couple weeks so the move is on but it may be a couple months.  We shall see.  Hate moving when weather crappy but that just may be the case. The LORD has his plans.

Back from South Dakota and a move!

   Well we got back from South Dakota last night from finally getting our stuff from the storage unit up there.  It had been almost exactly two years since we left it there.  Man do I miss that place.  We love the sturgis area and the blackhills.  It was soooooo awesome to see our friends and spend a little bit of time with them.  The kids were a blast.  We were gone 5 days. We even got snowed on a few times.  Love the snow but hope it can wait till after we are moved:)  Now my body is even hating me more.  But we are working on new treatment for the pain. Trying to get some things settled before we make the move.
   Yes we are going to be making a move.  We are going to head back to my home state of Oregon.  We don't have the details figured out but that is what I am working on.  We got to figure out a place out there, job out there, and a way to get all our stuff there so I will be busy with that.  But it will be awesome to be closer to friends and family.  We are both excited and nervous.  It just makes it harder without me being able to prity much do anything.  So we are looking at all the options.
   So things are going to be crazy busy around here!

Lots to do this week

Sooooo much to do this week.  With my arms still messed up and with all the nerve pain I have fallen sooo far behind on the house and such.  We worked on some yesterday but lots to go.  It drives me crazy having it so unorganized and messy.  But I got to get a lot done this week.  We are going up to South Dakota to get the rest of our stuff.  Yes it has been up there 1 month shy of two years.  This two years has sped by.  We had left it up there not only have we not really been able to afford to go get it but we hadn't decided on not going back.  Still not sure but I need things that are there.  We are still not sold on being here in Colorado.  The wages are prity good but that is cause housing is so expensive and cost of living.  But that we could live with.  It is beautiful no doubt.  But we have found it is really hard to make any friends.  People here really stick to themselves.  I have heard that from other new people also.  They say not all of Colorado is like that but up in this area is.  So it gets prity lonely here sometimes.  But we shall see what the LORD has in mind:)  

  I am just excited to see south Dakota again and to see our friends.  We will stay with them while we pack up the storage unit.  It will be fun to play with the kids and enjoy ourselves:)  So lots to do to get ready for the trip and for all the stuff coming back:)
