One thing that I am willing to share about me leaving/taking a break is that we just lost a family member, and i want to be completely focused on Family after skiing.
That is really hard, very sorry it happened. It can be a very dark time. :hugs

Hey, so I can't not post about my shows yet...
Went on Saturday and got reserve youth in a class. Did as well as I could've expected in showmanship too. There was also a horse gear auction in another building and we bought some bridles that were nice.

And guys, I really wasn't sure how I wanted to say this, but I've decided to just hide it here, that if I hadn't had you guys, Luke in particular even though he left a while ago. Well, I'm not sure I would've had my life still. I'm not sure why I'm just realizing this, maybe because I'm on the other side, but I went through some tough times a couple years ago. I always had you guys to look forward to in the end, and that may have saved me.

Thanks.



So, it's been two years since I had a moment that changed my time showing chickens. A couple months after our win at fair Pumpkin left this world. As heartbreaking as it was, it has taught me a lot and made me improve. Without it I'm not sure I would have done what I did now. While I still do on occasions think of her, what she taught me was very valuable. And now that she's gone I've accomplished a lot.

Okay, I have glanced on here a couple times recently, but it feels right this afternoon, to visit "home" for a little. I'm thrilled to see all is well here, and things are still going. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and has a great Christmas!
