April showers bring May flowers for sure but that doesn't mean that April brings any rest! April has already been a super busy month and we're only one week in! This past week I hit the ground running with prepping the team and horses for the upcoming show weekend. The lesson schedule was packed and the barn was bustling as the girls got ready for horse checks...it was lovely to end out the week with a barn full of clipped and bathed horses though! Spence even got in on the busy schedule this week now that I'm out of my cast we got back to work and he stepped up to the plate this Friday and went in a lesson after some of the school horses decided to play lame when they heard whispers of an upcoming show! The equestrian team also hosted our first ever "Who,What,Wear" fashion event on Thursday with local boutique owners. The event showcased looks for interview/work, a dinner outing with coworkers, a girls' night out and examples of how to dress for your body type. The event was a hit and we are very excited to have the participating boutiques attend our horse show on the 12th to set up shop. Sunshine, ponies and shopping...what more could you want?!
People on campus were slightly stunned to see me in a dress instead of riding pants!
My first weekend back in Macon since the recruiting trip started with a 5:30 am barn trip to bring in the ponies before the hot air balloons took off over campus. Thankfully my wonderful team ladies also got up early so bringing in the horses took all of 10 minutes and then we headed off to IHOP for a team breakfast. We got back to campus just in time to see the last of the balloons lifting off and to see a stray peacock wandering around campus! A work day to prep the barn and riding arena for next weekend's show followed and then I hosted a craft party for the underclassmen on the team...more to follow on this after the seniors get their gifts :)
Today was finally a relaxing day that started with homemade venison sausage and scrambled eggs...yummm. Then Mike and I headed off to Lowe's to stock up on planting stuff to spruce up our front "porch." Fingers crossed that our tomatoes, green beans and jalapenos do well!! I think our lilies also add some nice color to the entrance and make it feel a little more like spring on this rainy Sunday.
Hope y'all had a great weekend and that everyone is starting to enjoy some sunshine!
Love y'all!
