A glimpse at who I really am…
What makes me who I am? Answering this question can be tricky because the beauty of humanity is that we are all like onions, comprised of so many layers. Here are a few of mine.
I grew up on a cattle ranch where I fell in love with animals and learned the value of hard work. I was homeschooled from preschool to 12th grade which required time-management and self responsibility skills. My time as a soccer player taught me how to be a productive and contributing member of a team. When I switched to three-day eventing I learned trust is the most precious gift we can bestow upon one another. My college career taught me that you must be strong enough to give yourself grace incase no one else does. Starting my own business has taught me that no one should run from their talent.
As for my less serious layers, here are a few. I have been with my Fiancé Ryan since 2015 and I’d like to think that we are still madly in love. Also yes, you read that number correctly, and no we are not old. We started dating when he was 14 and I was 15. I am 100% dog obsessed and take my Golden Retriever Archer with me absolutely everywhere! My horse Piper is still a constant in my life, and although we don’t compete anymore, we still enjoy a good brushing, long trail rides, and an occasional lazy day bareback ride. My favorite hobby is reading and I can blow through books faster than my wallet would like. Good food is my love language, and I have a very serious iced vanilla chai addiction. But most importantly, I am always down for an adventure, extra down if I get to bring Ryan and Archer along!
