The Dark Knightess Rises

This past Saturday I attended a Halloween work party, and let's just say I squealed 

like a little fan girl when I found this BatGirl costume on sale. 

If you didn't already know, my absolute FAVORITE super hero is Batman. He's the best in my book... 

and I am a HUGE fan of the newer batman trilogy. gosh, such good stuff I could watch it on repeat. 

So finding this costume and having the chance to pretend like I was a superhero for the night was pretty much the most awesome thing ever.

( yes, I admit my inner nerd + kid is just having a hayday with this post, and costume!...ha ha)

Better watch out Gotham City, there's a new bat in town!

P.S. Don't think this getup has already seen it's last days, I still have Halloween!! 

Riding Weather

With weather like this both I and the horses are much happier campers when it comes to training and jumping! We don't get nearly as hot and sweaty as fast as we used to! Delilah has been having a blast jumping these past few weeks. She took a small spill earlier this month in her pasture, but after some time off  she bounced right back like nothing had ever happened and looks and feels great now!! ( she's such a trooper that Diva Mare) While work certainly keeps me busy,  I make sure I take advantage of any free time I have to work with her. She has made HUGE progress in her training, especially jumping courses ( and I have found out she prefers the larger jumps ha ha). So proud of that little mare, she's gained so much confidence and feels awesome. With that said, I leave you with a few pictures and videos from the past few weeks.

Happy Thursday!

This Past Weekend

This past weekend was a good one! Not only was the weather here in Florida absolutely beautiful ( we are talking cloudless skies and cool breezes folks!) but I was able to spend it with some of my favorite people. On Saturday Isaac and I drove to his Uncle's house for his Grandmother's 80th surprise birthday party. We arrived a little early and took a walk in the park...the lake was beautiful and I just could not get enough of the awesome weather! NO humidity!! ( plus spending the day with Isaac is always the best)  The party was great, she was so surprised and happy to see all of her family there! I hope I can  be that happy, carefree,  and full of laughter when I'm her age! The following day I went to church with Isaac's family and then we all drove over to a town in Orlando called Celebration. I have visited this town in the past, and I love it even more now! ( perhaps because of the weather??) Isaac and I explored  Celebration with his three younger siblings : Sofie, Joe, and Harry. We explored the lakes, a street fair, all the street lined shops, the pumpkin patch, and the boys even had a chance to play in the fountains ( while Sofie and I checked out the dress shops).  Joe and Harry are so full of imagination that there is never a dull moment when you are with them, love those boys! 

Overall it was a near perfect weekend, and I am quite sad that it has already come and gone. 

Until next time!

Vet Tech Week

This week is National Veterinary Technician Week! It has had me thinking about how thankful I am to work in a profession that I enjoy. I have been incredibly  blessed to work in a field where I not only have the opportunity help the four legged friends who can't always help themselves,  but also have the opportunity to  give back to the community. I have really come to appreciate the trust and confidence owners put in me to take care of the furry member of their family.. and love that puppy or kitten just as much as they do! I am also so thankful for the amazing support system I have where I work! Everyone is always willing and ready to lend me a hand and are always encouraging me to further my knowledge in this field.  I am quickly realizing that whether it be client education, diagnostic testing, critical care, or monitoring during surgery....I will never stop learning! The opportunities in this profession are endless, and I feel like I have only just begun to scratch the surface of it all! I am excited to see where this journey takes me.

So here's to all the VT's out there, Happy Vet Tech Week!
