All The What If's with Jayden

After high school graduation, we were so excited to see what Jayden would do with her future. She is intelligent, beautiful, kind, and strong in her faith. She couldn't wait to find her group of friends, rodeo, and choose a future career. What if her path went a different way? What if she got involved in the church, was a big part of the Salt college ministry and had lot's of Godly friends for life? What if she had an awesome roommate and friend group? She would have someone to hang out with, go shopping, go out to restaurants, and go to Salt with and someday be in one another's weddings. What is she loved ISU, her classes were great and she got to be part of the business sorority that she tried out for? What if she graduated from IUS and got a job nearby? What if college rodeo was a great experience? What if ISU had good coaches and supported the team? What if Jayden's horse Ace never acted up at the gate and ran like consistent and didn't knock barrels? What if she didn't live an airplane flight away? I have so many "what ifs" in my mind and wonder what her future will look like. I know God's plans are already planned out and we cannot predict or know them. He holds the future, he holds the plan, and I am trusting him and will see what great things he has in store for my sweet girl. I think someday we will look back on this and be able to see things more clearly and can see how God brought people and experiences together to knit her life story.

Volleyball

Jake went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s Volleyball game in Coon Rapids. They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them. Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
