I've been remiss in my blogging

Once last month. What was going on in my oh-so-busy life? Nothing. Ok, actually now that I think about that's not true.

I've been riding more than usual, which I love. I went on a trail ride and ponied another horse behind me. That horse stopped and I got pulled off. It was kind of funny. Then a few days later I went to Idaho to move cows 9 miles from one pasture to another. It was eventful. I almost got bucked off the horse I was on (none of these are my beautiful Sampson, he doesn't have shoes on). And my saddle kept tipping to the side because of my stupid rolly-polly horse that didn't want to push/chase cows. A cow was born right in front of me. One of the other horses got stuck in some barbed wire and when everyone stopped to help we lost control of the herd. It took all day, and if I wasn't busy I would have gone back to help again the next day.

Jacob left on his mission 1 week ago today. Yeah, he's 19. And he's taller than Wes or OJ. He's gone to Riverside, CA. This is him opening his call...awhile ago I guess. Now the rest of the family is ditching the kids and we're headed to Cozumel on Saturday. Wahoo! I'm so psyched to dive, it's been a few years. I'm getting sad to leave Dylan though. A whole week is a long time without my baby.

Last Friday was my birthday. I'm 28 and must have some maturity. So, while I still threw myself a birthday party. I didn't tell everyone I saw it was my birthday, so they could tell me "Happy Birthday." We went up the canyon as usual to roast hot dogs and s'mores because I love it and it's my birthday. And I hate cake and it's hard to eat in the mountains, so no one thinks I should have one.There were quite a few absentees this year. You know who you are. I expect you to make up for it next year.

Oh, and my marriage has reached an new level. I had Wes cut the back of my hair for me today. He did a great job. Considering how vain I've been about my hair in the past this is a big deal. And other than this I've decided not to cut it for the summer.

That kind of sums up May. Other that the swimsuit, nothing really got to me.

Wow you have an eventful life! I'll have to live vicariously through you and your adventures for a few more weeks. Have fun in Mexico!
