Another Great Weekend

This is why I live in Montana!! I had another incredible weekend. Jeff and I went on little horseback ride on Saturday. Our original plan was to go for a long ride (ok, the long part was Jeff's idea) but it was raining like crazy Saturday morning. We waited around for a while and decided what the heck we will go even if there is a little rain (ok, again this was Jeff's idea). I was thinking I want to go, but I really don't want to be wet and cold. It rained on and off all the way to the trial head. There were huge black clouds and the wind was blowing like crazy. I was thinking as we were driving, I will just stay in the truck and read a book. We got to the spot and it was pouring down rain. Jeff says "we will wait 10 mins and then we will go". I again am thinking, you will go I will stay and read my book. Within 10 mins the rain has slowed down and Jeff hops out of the truck to saddle the horses. I am trying to be enthusiastic, but have my reservations. He saddles the horses and all I need to do is go out and hop on. Thankfully, it stopped raining. I was telling myself, "a little rain never hurt anyone, I can handle this". I also have to admit I was a little apprehensive of riding a horse I don't know that is not my dad's. Jeff did buy the horse I would be riding from my dad... that should count for something. I am determined to enjoy the great outdoors and I am tough enough to handle this.

We hop on the horses and head out. About 2 minutes into I was thinking, thank goodness I didn't wimp out. It was sooo beautiful. The fall colors were incredible! Fall is my favorite time because of all the pretty colors. It was very peaceful. The fact that it had just rained made everything even prettier. It smelled clean and was perfect. The best part is it only sprinkled on us once for a little while. We could not have planned the weather more perfectly.

I look forward to doing it again.
