I Shall Obtain A Horse

When Paige was born she had her days and nights backwards. She slept all day and was awake a lot more at night. Jess had taken a week off of work, so we just went with it. That was the best week ever. Jess was home, we had our new sweet baby, AND after worrying for months if I'd know how to take care of her I was pleasantly surprised to find it was the easiest, most natural thing I'd ever done, and we were as happy as we'd ever been. Jess also took care of me all week since I was still recovering. :) I still get nostalgic when I eat saltines with cream cheese on them, because for some reason that was the main snack we'd eat. We'd watch movies while she "napped" at 1 am, and if she woke up to eat I'd feed her and watch Jess play Shadow of the Colossus. Yes, as incredibly cool as we appear we're actually nerds. He beat 15 giants, and then GAVE UP after trying to beat the last one for a long time. He said he'd try again "later". I had been watching him play that like it was a movie, and he left me hanging on the ending. Well, over 3 years later, he finally tried again for me. He still failed, so we cheated and went online to find the secret. So I finally got to see him beat the last giant. Anyway, last night Paige and I played it some.
We like it because you have a big black horse to ride. And now my long dormant horse obsession is renewed. Actually I don't know how I've held back this long. I just hadn't realized I'm a grownup now and I get to choose whether or not to buy a horse. I nearly died several times, of heartbreak when I couldn't have one as a kid. I only survived because my stepdad's uncle had a boarding stable and I could go work there after school every day in exchange for riding one of his horses. Getting a horse is now in my 5 year plan. Actually I didn't have a 5 year plan before this, so getting a horse IS my 5 year plan. Paige is pumped. Cason will probably be even more pumped. He wants to be a cowboy I think. Sort of related, Cason has the most impressive "neigh" I've heard.
