Dreams

So, last night I had a really random, sad dream. I don't really understand how I have them but sometimes its when I am just really relaxed and others are when i've had to take a sleeping aid cause I have problems falling asleep. Anyways, I had a dream about these two sweet puppies. These are pictures from our Florida trip. Two from driving and the other two while in Pheonix watching Courtney's sister Bridgette's soccer game. The one above is "Spud" and the one below is "Barley" Basically..Spud is courtney's and Barley got attached to me, but is for my other friend Dallas, Courtney's other sister. But, besides the fact that I LOVE them both and wished and prayed that I could keep Barley, they LOVE florida and LOVE their new family!

So, Here's the dream in the bits that I do remember it. We were giving these two adorable puppies away, and we met a the church, which was the church I used to go to in california, and I remember the place and everything so well, I knew it was there. Anyways, these people came and got them in this huge explore or expedition, I don't really know, but anyways, the pups didn't want to leave, and well we didn't want them to go, but what happened next was, they had this door that was slanted and somehow I freaked, but everyone was don't worry they'll be fine...well I had this not good feeling in my stomach and wanted to drive down the road to make sure they didn't jump out, and well to my horror, spud was on the road first, we went the opposite direction as them, and he was well, gone, and so by then i'm bailing and freaking out, like everyone would know I would act, and well we couldn't see Barley until someone was like "there she is in the grass." I ran out to her and she was still alive but there was blood everywhere and it looked like one side of her was just mushed. All I remember after that is that they both lived, they both grew up and were both extermely beautiful dogs and everything was happy.........

K, I know really weird! I just don't understand dreams sometimes. All I know is that these puppies are safe! In florida, and will not be going to any new home anytime soon! Oh man, it was weird.

So, if any of you had any weird dreams like me, let me know, so I know I'm not the only strange one here! ;-) Although, with my luck I am! I miss these pups and going out to see them every morning or night out with the horses, but one thing that it did show me is that I AM NOT ready for another pup just yet! I hope everyone has had a wonderful day! I am going in a few hours to meet with Kim and her girls and meet the boys because tomorrow I start the first day of watching them! WOOHOO! Also tomorrow I find out about the ranch! We'll see, and I know no matter what I will be doing the best thing and the right thing for myself at this time! Oh, and i'll be posting Florida pic's soon! Love you All!

" If There Were No Horses"

"God forbid that I should go to any heaven where there are no horses."

- Robert Bontine Cunningham Graham

I LOVE the song "Wild Horse" by Natasha Bedingfield. It is in one of my FAVORITE moives Flicka! If you haven't heard it, its in my playlist at the bottom of this page if not search it on you tube! The words to it decribe how I feel a lot of the time, and for me, most people know me and horses mesh pretty well. In the song she say's "It happened so fast, How do I turn this thing around, Is this the bed I chose to make, It's greener pastures I'm thinking about, Hmm, wide open spaces far away, All I want is the wind in my hair, To face the fear but not feel scared." When I get on my horse, and ride, the wind in my hair, the rush that I feel, can't be described. It's like a drug! I can throw all my worries out in the wind, and just ride. It's exilarting!

" The soul is the same in all living creatures, although the body of each is different."

- Hippocrates

The just of the song, is how she feels about someone, how she wants to just be free, and not be worried about telling them how she feels, and to just love them without fear, or being closed in (by fences). Its not how I feel, but there is times when I do feel like I just want to be free, say whatever I feel, do whatever I want! Wild Horses are AMAZING! I'm kinda jealous and I bet my own horses are jealous of them as well!

" We call them dumb animals, and so they are for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less, because they have no words."

Still In Florida.....

Greeting's All!!!...So I've been in Florida since the 15th-16th, it tooks us 5 days, 4 nights to get here but so far being here as been so worth it...the drive here was well..let me say interesting...but all in all being here as really given me a really good perspective on life and right now I want to thank all of the people that have helped me be able to go on this trip! It truelly is one that I'm never going to forget! I have taken over 300 pictures so far so be ready for some fun pics! We've done soo much as well as just relaxed as well, but I will probably get some jet-lag coming home! We are going to be at the airport tomorrow 1 am here but 11pm in Idaho, then our plain leaves at 5:20am we have two lay overs, one is charollette and one in phenoix and then we get to salt lake, where my mom is picking courtney and I up, and then...we head back to rexburg! It will be a long day, and it will be great to be back home agian and start doing normal life stuff, like working out which I horribly actually miss a ton! But, as soon as I get back, get ready for some fun pics and fun stories about my trip!

Oh and some exciting news...I got a job for sure being a Nanny...DON'T WORRY..it's not scam this time! I met the little girls and mom and LOVE THEM to death, so for sure I have a job when I get back with them, but a friend of mine, Hiedi, told me that Eagle Ridge is hiring two wrangles for the summer, and for those of u that don't know, its in Island Park, and it used to be known as Jacob's Island Park Ranch, and I worked there every summer, well helped out, and then I really did live on my own and work up there with my friend melody too from california and LOVED IT! I really ulimatly wanted to work up at a ranch this summer, and this one is by far my choice out of all of them, well because its like my home away from home! I LOVE IT! but I emailed the Daltons, whom our family and i am very close to because there son Daniel served his mission in our hometown in Cali and he told us that his family was taking over management of the ranch, so I am so freakin excited that they emailed me back telling me to come up this weekend and meet with them and check everything out and see if i can work up there this summer! My friend Hiedi is coming up to because she is looking for a place to work as well because she wan't to stay in Idaho too..oh she's from Kansas!!!! But everything pray for me, I really really want this job, i think it would honestly be the best thing for me right now..but no matter what i have another job if it doesn't work, but this would be by far my choice! So i'll probably know more in the next few weeks but YAY!!!!!!! Just wanted to let you all know! We'll I'm going to get back to having some fun...I'll talk to you all soon! LOVE YA ALL TONS! -EM

When I Find Him, He Should.....Beginning Part 1

"Love should create an "us" without destroying "me"."

What I Look For When I think of the Man of My Dreams.......

So, I've decided to start a series of things that I look for in my future spouse, what I believe love should be and how I feel I should be shown love and so forth. I decided it randomly today when I was working out, watching couples and watching movies seeing things that effect me and things that repulse me. And I am a romantic at heart and why not talk about love, since I love well Love!

So this is what I want men to know...You have it all wrong, you dont understand all the qualities we want and need, and you seem to market yourself as something totally different then what we need and want as well. Of course every girl wants a guy that is attractive right, but we aren't as into looks and money as you think that we are. SO, stop trying to impress us girls with materilistic things and listen up to this..... here I will start to explain qaulities I want............

HONESTY -

This is one of the most important characteristics to have. I don’t want to waist my time wondering if you’re cheating on me. And I want you to be clear on your interest in me. I don’t want to play games.

HARD WORKING & GOAL ORIENTED -

Who doesn’t like a person that’s hard working? A man that is lazy is not one I’d like to date. I enjoy a man who enjoys his job and has goals and a vision for his career path. It’s okay if you’re not where you’d like to be in your career as long as you are working toward a goal. A man that places importance on his job and his future always gets my attention. A big turn-off is a man who has trouble holding down a job. That signals a red flag for me.

SENSE OF HUMOR -

Some of the best relationships I had were with men who were funny. I love dating a guy who knows how to make me laugh. Life can be so serious at times. It’s great to be able to let loose and laugh a bit. This characteristic comes in handy when you’re going through a rough time. There have been many occasions that laughter has picked my mood up during hard times.

RELIABILITY -

I like to be able to count on my man at all times. I need to feel that you will be there for me even when we go through troubled times.

SHARED VALUES -

Some say that opposites attract. However, in my opinion that can’t be further from the truth. Women like men who share the same ideas and values. We like our men to have the same thoughts as us on politics, religion, having babies, etc…Without sharing the same vision, it’s not worth engaging in a long standing relationship.

K, so these are just a few random but VERY VERY important characteristics and qaulities I and I know most girls look for in a guy...So next time I post about this I will give some more! Feel free ladies that read my blog to give some stuff on how you feel about qaulities of your man or one you are looking for or a good example! And guys...you can always but in as well! There's nothing better then a guys opinion! ;-) Well, I better get back to work, but feel free to comment and I'll be back with plenty more parts to this new subject! ;-) It is one of my favorites!
