I celebrated my 28th birthday on May 14th and it was filled with so many blessings. I started my birthday morning by riding a lovely horse at Dana's. Then, my mom and I headed out to see Danny and I had decided to ride him bareback. As I put his bridle on and tightened up the figure-8 noseband, he had the look on his face like, "You've GOT to be kidding me!" Once I got on him, it was pure joy. Danny felt wonderful...sound, quiet, and happy. After cruising around at the walk for a bit, I tried the trot and quickly decided for future child-bearing, that wasn't the smartest choice. So I stuck with cantering my rocking horse around the arena. And you know what...he still has it goin' on...
He can still stop on a dime with no reins!
After my wonderful ride on Danny, Nick surprised me by taking me to catch the Angel's at Angel's Stadium. The ultimate surprise was seeing my parents, in-laws, friends, and family sitting in the section waiting to surprise me. With hot dogs, beer, and fireworks, it was the BEST way to finish off my birthday night!
My birthday weekend continued as we headed down to San Diego Saturday morning for a hike in Poway. We took Kyla (AKA Billy Goat) and she loved bouncing up the trail, passing all the other bigger dogs. I can't think of a better way to spend a beautiful day than out on a dirt trail, sweating in the sun, and sharing the experience with my husband and my dog. Afterwards, we hit up Barefoot Bar and Grill at Paradise Point for beer and appetizers. A perfect day!
My birthday celebration continued with a BBQ at my parent's house Sunday afternoon. I loved spending the time with friends and family! I look back on the weekend and count the many blessings in my life.
