This is my first post as a college graduate! I went back home to walk in my ceremony, and it was a lot of fun. It was great too see all my friends on Friday night, I had a blast! It is nice to know that I can always go home to a great group of people that love and support me. I really feel like they will all be my friends forever. Saturday, my family and I went to Sheboygan for the banquet. The food was really good, and it was nice to be on the campus. The ceremony was on Sunday, and it went really well. My Grandparents joined me for that, and after the ceremony we all headed to Madison to meet up with Kyle and Jenna for dinner. I got to see Kyle's place that night as well. For only being home for a few days, I feel like I sure got a lot done!

Beth sure missed me while I was gone! It is a LOT of work when one of us is out, and the weekends are even busier than the weekdays. She said that by Monday, she was so tired that she didn't even ride, just did chores. I wonder how I was able to do it by myself for so long. Beth did ride the pony that I have been training for Erin while I was gone, and she was very impressed at how much he has improved since the last time she rode him. She actually told me that there is a difference between a rider and a trainer, and that I am a trainer! It feels really great to hear a compliment like that, especially coming from her.

Today was my first day back at work. It started out well, and I even rode 4 horses today. But it rained all afternoon, and by the time it was time to feed, it was downpouring. I got completely soaked! And then we had to mess around with bales of hay - almost nothing is worse than being wet and having hay sticking to you =(

We are still counting down untill Erin gets here. In fact, we have a total of an additional 3 people coming this month. It is going to be awesome! We are already talking to Jean about being relieved of some of the feeding responsibilities, which will free us up for more riding!
