A homegrown heart is one that longs to sleep with the windows open. One that longs to smell the fresh cut fields, Ride in the afternoon - bareback, and barfoot. A homegrown heart likes to turn the music up, grow something, talk to God and wear boots, because they are better. These hearts go fishing, play with dogs and play with horses. Homegrown hearts give it their all, everytime. They are true to themselves, and true to those around them. They have deep roots. But more important, a homegrown heart LOVES WITH ALL ITS STRENGTH.

Getting there...

Well, on a happy note, my niece was born last night at 8:30 PM, Ireland Pauline, at 7 lbs, 3 oz.  So thank God for a quick and safe delivery!  Time to start brainwashing her to be a horse loving cowgirl!  Time to get a pony for her big sister (who is turning 2 on the 3rd of March!)  :) 

I rode last night, and had to put Will on a lunge line.  My knee was hurting bad, so he kept sucking into the circle, I couldn't hold him out with my bad leg... but he did well after a while.  He is such a butt head sometimes, pulling his head around, and won't stay in center. 

As for our big fundraiser on the 10th of April, KUPL donated some awsome stuff!  Thanks KUPL!  5 CD's, Sees chocolate gift certificate, Movie passes, stickers!  So far we have a childs rocking horse and some horsey supplies... The raffle is nowhere near ready yet, so any and all help would be really appreciated!  We still need a grand prize!  Some of the bigger stores we asked for help are letting us down, which is a total bummer.  :(  But little by little we will get there, I hope. 

17 days until my surgery, and 6 months and 17 days before recovery.  Lets see, that puts me at September1st?  Right before my birthday!
