Parelli here I come!!!!!!

Allright! The audition was AWESOME!!!!! Getting to ride with Pat was INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Blue was a total champ and was a dream. Just being in the environment was thrilling. I couldn't wait to get started.

At the end of day two I got to chat with Brian and he said I was accepted and wondered when I wanted to start. So I said right away, well, after the Harrisburg celebration, of course.

So I'm in the airport on my way back to Florida!!! I just got to spend three days with the family in Harrisburg absorbing all the awesomeness of the Parelli celebration. We had a blast and I think I bought about 15 shirts to wear for my externship, haha. Jeanette and my dad also joined in on the fun and bought lots of things and then to my surprise my mom asked if she should get a carrot stick if she was going to start playing with horses. YIPPPPPPPEEEEEEEE!!!! Mom wanted a carrot stick. I wish we had the moment on video!!! Now she can join in on all the fun.

Well the fam left on Sunday earlier then the show was over, so that was sad, but they had an 8 hour drive home. Anyway, I decided to volunteer with the breakdown of the entire show. It was cool to be behind the scenes. We got everything done in record time.
I was starting to worry because I hadn't figured out where I was going to sleep and how to get a hold of a cab number. But I got a hold of Avery (one of my instructors) and she grabbed a lady (Sue) by the arm and Sue had a rental car and a spot in her bed :) So I got to join them for their buffet dinner and it was fun cause I sat with all the Parelli folks. Then I went with Sue to her hotel. The next morning we had an early wakeup call because Sue was standby for the earliest flight, but I wasn't about to complain seeing I was getting a ride to the airport.

So now I'm sitting here, loving the fact that we now have free wifi in certain airports :):):) So far it's this one and the one in Charlotte. So much better then paying 10 bucks for an hour!

I'm still a little in awe of all the things that have happened so fast the last week, but I'm going to roll with it and love every minute of it! I can't wait to get started tomorrow at Pat's barn. I'm sure I'll be shadowing most of the time and just getting a feel for everything, and it will drive me crazy because I won't be allowed to play with the horses yet, but I will do my best to behave and be patient :) It's so darn exciting!

I doubt I'll be allowed to blog, so the entries will become less and less. Sorry, but as you can all understand, I'm not going to do anything to mess up my chances at Pat's barn :)

Ah, life is good :) Enjoy every minute, it'll pass you by, so open up your eyes and mind and absorb it all!!!
