I am thankful for:

• Drinking coffee and watching silly telenovelas with Juan Carlos
• Having a glass of wine and a heart to heart with my mom
• My coworkers and their support and encouragement
• My beautiful puppy (subject of a future post) that makes us laugh every day
• Sleeping in
• Being immersed in and surrounded by rich cultural diversity
• The discovery of natural/traditional Chinese medicine
• My faith
• Today

Horseback Riding!

Since we first met, Juan Carlos and I have been looking for somewhere to ride horses. Everything seemed to fall through. Now, 5 years later, through a connection at work we finally found someone who let us come out and ride. We went last night (the rain didn't stop us!) and it was wonderful!!

It was strange how after looking forward to it for so long, it just felt like "coming home"- it was so natural. It really affirmed our hopes to have a ranch and horses of our own in the future. In the meantime, this is such a blessing to enjoy! I will try to post pictures after we go again...
