about rocknhorse
I've been a GOLO member for some time now and thought maybe it was time to update my profile.
As stated before, I'm a happily married mother of two wonderful kids. Life doesn't get any better. I am truly the luckiest person in the world to have my wonderful family! My husband and I are self-employed and have been for 10 years. We've had our struggles in the past, but it's the strength of our love that supports us through the tough times.
I am fortunate to have 4 horses, which I train using gentle methods. I believe that you have to see the world through their eyes. When you can successfully do that, then you can understand them and train them accordingly. This philosophy works equally well when communicating with people.
I am an optimist. Even during bad times, I seek the silver lining! Every event, every mistake is a learning experience. Rather than dwell on the negative, focus on the positive and don't waste the lesson!
I have been accused of being very opinionated and stubborn - neither are negative traits in my opinion! I believe what I believe, but I'm open to other opinions. While I may respect your opinion, that doesn't mean I'll agree. Likewise, just because I may disagree, that doesn't mean I cannot still respect your right to your opinion.
I believe as Americans, we have been afforded the same opportunities. Some of us took advantage of those opportunities and some did not. Those who work to excel and to better their lives should not be held back for the benefit of those who do not!
I believe in a hand up but not a hand out!
I believe in accountability/responsibility for your actions! Life is about choices and every action involves CHOICE! If you make the wrong choice, you should be held accountable-no excuses!
Beauty comes from within! It is confidence in being who you are and liking/loving that person!!!
Topics that are extremely important to me are drunk driving and anything that involves kids. Wrecks that occur because of drunk drivers are not "accidents." Kids need to be protected. People who abuse kids should be dealt with in manners that I cannot state here.
Finally, I believe in honesty, but diplomacy when interacting with each other.
Welcome to my profile. I have many pictures in my Image Gallery! I welcome comments, thoughts, discussions and debates!

But, things have changed so much. I have my OWN children now and the way I look at things have changed ALOT. So, no way, would I allow a 14 y/o to babysit.

We would go to the Sylva tire store and pay $5 for a semi truck innertube and use it the whole year. Summer for tubing and winter for sledding.
Campus has changed. I haven't been back in 5 years but I hardly recognized it then. Can't imagine now.

By the way, we didn't get to pet the horses. But I did get to talk to a really nice little old woman. She owned the pasture, but not the horses.

Both those maps are 24 hour rain totals apparently from the same reporting stations. But look at the time stamps. They represent two different 24 hour periods.
Now you can go kick youself. :)

Apples and peaches have done well for me. I've had golden and red delicious apple trees and they look like a wedding bouquet in the spring. Peach trees do better in a protected area ( hill, wall, etc ) but they are really pretty, too.
I am so excited for you Rockin!!!!!
