Adventure Time

Sorry for not posting in a few weeks, it's been a bit busy with traveling and a horse show (which we did amazing at! I'll update you as soon as I get a chance). I was offered an internship in Pittsburgh back in March and it starts tomorrow. I'll be working in the tallest building in the city, full time this summer. It's going to be a big difference from my usual babysitting summers, but it will be a great experience. As a small town country girl, I'm obviously intimidated by the notion of working in the city, but hey, gotta try new things.

Even though I have to be up in about four hours, I just can't seem to find sleep. I often listen to soothing instrumental music to help quiet my brain and as a nerd, the Lord of the Rings soundtrack is one of my favorites. I was lying in the dark a few minutes ago, listening to Concerning Hobbits when an image from the recent (and amazing) movie, The Hobbit popped into my mind. This sums up how I feel about starting my first internship in the morning:




I hope you all have adventures this summer, too!

You Ate What??

One summer I went to a super big horse show in Massachusetts. My friend's mom drove the truck and trailer with teenage Meredith and me in the backseat. It was an eight hour drive with a few complications, but otherwise a fun trip. We packed a cooler with fruits, sandwiches, and Meredith's favorite yogurt, YoBaby. 

After we arrived, got the horse settled in at the show grounds, and retired to our hotel, we were lying in the dark discussing our most recent meal (for some strange reason). 

"I ate a PB&J sandwich."
"I ate a banana."
And the best line of the night was Meredith's: "I ate YoBaby."

And thus, twenty minutes of giggling ensued before we actually fell asleep. 

Five years later, none of us can walk past the yogurt aisle without giggling.
