It's the most wonderful time of the year... almost!

If I've harped on anything this year, it's how busy this semester has been. Taking 9 hours of classes, 3 hours of internship, working full time, and owning 3 horses is enough to stretch anyone's days... but, I've never been one to do things the easy way, so to top it off, I thought I might as well go for the gold and get a boyfriend too.

It's funny how things like that work out.

We've been dating for almost 2 months now. He lives in Dallas, which unfortunately makes this a long distance relationship, but he has been really good about staying in touch with me. We talk every night, we text off and on during the day, and he has driven down many a weekend to hang out with me. I finally get to reciprocate in a few weeks when I go up to Dallas for his office's Christmas party. It's just so much harder to travel when you have 2 dogs, 1 cat, and, of course, those horses, especially when you and your roommate are the sole care takers for the horses. If I could board them, traveling more would be a breeze!

He has no pets, but he likes my guys- and the inside three at least seem to feel the same way about him. Fiona would not stop licking him, Romeo loves everyone, and Ramses jumped into his lap- only to walk across him and climb into my lap and lie down, thereby sending the message that I already had a man in my life. So maybe the jury's out on Ramses. Chica was her usual unimpressed self, and Rosa was still so new when he visited that she didn't care what was going on as long as she got to eat.

So life is hectic right now, but I'm trying to not miss out on my favorite time of the year. In two weeks I should be done with classes, so I'm looking forward to that (minus the 2 research papers lying between me and the end). And then Christmas time! One and a half weeks off! Time for riding and relaxing and reading, my favorite r-words!

Come on, motivation. Just have to get through these next couple of weeks... how about a couple of dog pics to get through?
