soooooo worried and stressed about the move!!!
So I have been beyond stressed out about the move!!! I have been shaking like crazy and just plain nauseous even more than usual. I am not worried about us or the small animals just worried about the horses. I don't want anything bad to happen to them and it is a long stressful trip for them and a new place again. I do have a little secret angel in Colorado that is trying to help me out with my mare;) That does make me feel A LOT better.
This is a long trip and our truck has 320,000 miles on it and even though it has been going strong this trip will be a lot to ask of it with it loaded down for moving and with horses and then a second trip back to get the rest of our stuff. So please everyone pray for a safe, uneventful trip:) It would REALLY REALLY help. We will probably be leaving here early early am Tuesday to try and still get to there in the daylight for the horses sakes.
Last night though I was laying in bed praying and asking GOD for peace and comfort and I picked up my bible and he had me open it to Philippians and it was the perfect thing I could have read. It made things a lot better!!!!!
do not be anxious about anything; but instead pray about everything. Tell GOD what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience GOD's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

Going to be calling Colorado Home
So it looks like Colorado is going to be home for us:) We are both sooooooo very very excited. It will be so awesome to wake up every morning and see the mountains:) This is a big leap of faith and that faith is in GOD. We pray this is going to be our permanent home and that GOD will show us what he wants us to do here:) Now we got to get everything packed and pray the weather stays good until we get the horses over the mountain passes safe. I just pray and hope this is not only good for us but for our "kids"(the animals:))
Look forward to seeing what Colorado has in store for us. I so look forward to when I can go skiing someday:) Been so long since I have gotten to do that. It has been a dream of mine to go to Vail or Aspen and to stay and go on a sleigh ride who knows maybe someday that will happen since we will be living so close:)

Possibly may be calling ourselves coloradins soon!
Well we got home yesterday evening from the western slope of Colorado. We had a job interview there with a little ranch/farm. The people were extremely nice and of course the area is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! I SOOOOOOOOO love the mountains!!! They are suppose to let us know if we got the job end of the week. So we might be moving down there soon.
We loved the area and think it would be perfect for us but my only hesitation is taking my horse down there. I finally have her fat and happy for the first time in years. I am just so nervous to move her to a new area and have her loose weight. Also they do not have a place for us to have our horses on their own they would be thrown in with their horses and moved through different pastures. That does not make me very happy. If she wasn't older and on a special diet wouldn't be a big deal but I like to keep her close to watch her, feed her, and she needs a water heater in winter or she doesn't drink enough. I KNOW, I KNOW high maintenance but she didn't grow up a ranch horse and she has done everything in the world I have ever asked of her so I can't not take the best care of her. I am thinking I could find a place close by to board her so that she would have shelter, constant hay and such.
I guess we will worry when we get the job:)

I was kidding if I thought I could quit blogging!!!
I have been thinking about it the past few days and I just can't quit blogging at least not yet. I like what my friends TJandMark said they use it as a way to remember things. That is why I started this whole thing in the first place was to just keep track of my life and see where the LORD takes me:) I have let that get lost in trying to think I have to make it interesting to people and getting my feelings hurt. It is just truly to mark my journey in this life and that's what I would like to continue to do. It is nice to have people read and to see what people think so I want to keep doing it.
With that said things are really upside down and crazy since we lost our job. We have been searching hi and low for something. We would like to stick with ranching but we are open to other options but we have to make sure we can afford housing and such. I know things would be easier if we didn't have pets and I know there are probably a million ways we have screwed up or could have saved money but we can't change that now but we can change the future but the pets are my "kids" so they will stay and we can work on the rest:)
We have another very promising interview Saturday and hopefully this will be the one as we really really need to get out of this place. We are both just ready to move and leave all the negative behind. God will show us where he want us ranch, city, wherever and we are both open and listening for his guidance and he has been guiding us so far. If we didn't have him we would have nothing. The stress and not knowing has been so hard but I couldn't imagine what it would be like without GOD. It would be unbearable.
Thank you to all who have been kind, supportive and also honest. I do love hearing from everyone!!!!!

Thinking of quiting my blogging
So I have been thinking about quiting my blogging. I really enjoy reading every ones blogs and seeing what life has in store for them. But I am not sure that my blog is contributing what I would like it to. I will keep reading every ones as I really enjoy it. May the LORD bless every ones live immensely. Thank y'all for your support and prayers and comments. I have really enjoyed getting to know some of my fellow bloggers. You never know I may decide to do it again but for now I will say good bye.
