What a dream … I have so much to do today, juggling house chores and so much writing and reading for grad school. Looking at these photos makes me take a deep breath though. More photos to come <3

Que sonho… Tenho tanta coisa para fazer hoje, fazer malabarismos com as tarefas domésticas e tanta escrita e leitura para a pós-graduação. Olhar para essas fotos me faz respirar fundo. Mais fotos virão <3

Horseback Riding

If you knew me as a kid at all, you know my love of horses. I still have a chunk of money saved in bank in Missoula for my "future horse." Someday ... My cousin's friend George offered to take me riding as a late birthday present and it was hands down the best gift. I got to ride a Strawberry Roan that was as sweet as he was large. We drove out into the cut above Arlee for a good hour, drank some Summer Shandy's and went on a 6 hour ride! It was so beautiful and exhilarating. There really is nothing better than a gallop up a mountain.
