Horse!

So we got a new horse. His name is Bud and he is a cross between a quarter horse and a welsh cob. He is so amazing to ride- I love how he smoothly switches between gaits!!! His trot is extremly fast though, so reining him in can be a bit difficult, as I observed today. A funny story- I was out in the north pasture and where the north pasture was starting there are a bunch of trees and a treefort, ect. I was riding Bud and he was trotting. He can be rather difficult to rein in and I was trying to without succes. He turned toward the trees and kept going...i forgot to duck.....i hit the tree.....oh yeah...scrapes everywhere. on my face. Small amount of blood. gross. So, yeah. thats me and my epic experiances.

So Bud and Eddie (my palamino gelding) have been "fighting" to figure out who is going to be boss. Today I was giving them grain after I had worked them and Bud, whom I will now refer to as PIG, tried to KICK Ed and eat his grain!!!! WHAT A JERK! We obviously need to work on someones manners... :] haha. Talk to y'all latttteeerrrr

Twilight

So its time for a book review- Twilight! If you don't know about the plot line, here it is: Bella, a human, moves to Forks, Washington to be with her father because her mom just remarried and Bella doesn't want to be a bother to her mother. After moving in with her dad, she attends the local high school and notices a strange family there, named the Cullens. Bella is very interested in why they stay so far away from the rest of the students [i.e.: in the lunchroom, they sit alone]. The reason why is that they are vampires and by staying away from the humans, they can controll their thirst for human blood. [NOTE: The Cullens are "vegitarian", so they only drink animal blood, not human.] She finds that in her biology class, although she is sitting right next to Edward Cullen, he doesn't acnowledge her as so many of the other students were excited to do. She can't understand why because she had never done anything wrong to him. Eventually, he lets her know that its for her own good that he stays away from her, and he continuse to avoid her. Later in the story, Bella discovers that his entire family is actually a group of vampires, and she falls in love with Edward, and the sory end up that Edward and the rest of the Cullens are forced to fight to save Bella's life from a malicous vampire who wants Bella and will stop at nothing to get her. To see how it turns out, you will have to read the book!

My rating: 3 1/2 stars

Pros: Well, its a sweet story about to people (ok, a vampire and a person) falling in love. I like that Edward is extremly chivalrous and always puts Bellas wants/needs in front of his own. The book also acnowledges that there is a heaven and a hell, and a life after death. Its implied that by the choices you make in this present life, you will end up in one of those two places.

Cons: Vampires. A whole bunch of people are sort of creeped out by that idea. Also, the book conatins a few swear words, which is dissapointing because they don't need to be there. 

All in all, I liked it. Here is the link to the author's offical website: http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/twilightseries.html
