End of IHSA season and wedding update!

Hey y'all,
I am so sorry that I have been awful about keeping the blog updated! As it turns out I have a broken wrist from the car accident so life got a tiny bit more complicated over the past week or so. I am finally able to attempt at normal typing with my lovely pink cast on but I've been sidelined from being in the saddle for a bit.
Teaching, however, must go on!
My weekends have been occupied with horse shows, as usual, so some parts of life have remained normal. Two weekends ago I was in Hilton Head,SC to work at an IEA show and was lucky enough to sit with the SCAD coach all day and swap fun Ed Fed stories (all of my VI girls will love that he is very loved and doing well at SCAD). I also got to meet up with the very patient Katie and Paul for dinner and to pick up my dress!!!! I squeal every time I look at it!
The rest of the week was filled with lessons, insurance calls and doctor appointments before closing out the IHSA season in Charleston, SC with the hunt seat team. The girls did amazing!!! My walk/trot senior (who just started riding this August) brought home first place for her last show which made me a very proud momma bird (at least that what the girls claimed I looked like). I couldn't be more proud of the rides that everyone put in that day, despite the on and off rain, everyone rode wonderfully! You can read the press release here!
 Rainy horse show gear!
Then Sunday we headed to Statesboro for Regional Finals where Aaron laid down a beautiful ride but was just out of qualification for Zones, her class had 17 riders!
The western ladies got to take home regional 4th place team, however, complete with a nice big ribbon to add to the collection!
Now we're back home prepping for our community show in April and I'm prepping to have lots of guests this month!!! I've also had a few minutes to work on our wedding website to keep everyone in the loop about wedding activities....and yes I will finish our Save the Dates this week...I hope!
Love y'all!!
