Two Years

I can honestly say the past two years have flown by very quickly! I remember first moving to Georgia and being bummed about being here. We even went back to Florida every chance we could. I never thought positive about living here and I always looked forward to getting out.. I still do! But living here has taught me many things.

It as taught me about looking for the positive in everything. While I haven't been able to find a job in my career it allowed me to spend some quality time with my husband. We won't always be able to have that time together since the always dreaded D word can happen at anytime. I spent almost a year and a half unemployed but that was time we were able to spend just the two of us. Which after our previous four years apart we needed the time to get to know each other again.

I learned I wanted more in life then to be a Therapeutic Riding Instructor. I started going back to school this summer to get my prerequisites to apply for a Doctorate of Physical Therapy program. My ultimate goal to to really help people improve there lives while doing their therapy sessions from the horses back! I want to know more about the human body and helping people to develop/redevelop muscles to accomplish tasks that many of us take for granted. Even if it is only freedom from a wheelchair for 30 minutes a week. I know that my journey is going to be tough but I also know that I can accomplish anything I set my mind to. This also means I have a bunch of classes I need to take since I didn't take them for my BA.

One of the perks of being here has been the distance to family. I am extremely close to my family! I rarely go a day without talking to my Mom once if not more. Being in middle Georgia gives us the opportunity to go home over the weekend if we want. I was thrilled that we could go home to watch my Nieces first dance recital. I have always loved spending time with my Sister, Niece, and Nephew and miss being able to drive ten minutes to see them. They are growing up so fast it is hard missing some of the things they are doing.

And last but definitely not least is the great people we have met here! I know I will have some friends for a lifetime. We have spent some fun nights with people, nights I will never forget!
