I leave for Scottsdale in a few days. I have so much to do before I leave. I have started packing and I don't think I am going to fit everything in my luggage, as my OH says, "It's not a fashion show!". I don't think I have ever been gone from home for this long before, so I am trying to think of things I wouldn't normally take on a trip. I know I will need to take many different kinds of clothes. Even though it will be warmer where I am going then it is here, I want to make sure I am prepared for all kinds of weather. You just never know what the weather will bring!
While I am gone, I will be sending my sister updates on what is going on in Scottsdale. So, guess who will be posting these updates on my blog for me? Yep, the one and only, Pony Girl!
Isn't she sweet? They will not be big updates, but at least it will be something. Hopefully it will be of interest to you all! I will definitely miss visiting each and everyone of you, and hopefully when I get back, I will have a lot to tell!
I will miss you all, and have a great February! I'll see ya all at the end of the month!

Glad you are on the mend! Have a wonderful time ,ad take lots of pictures if you can
Glad to hear you are feeling better, and I am sooo excited you get to take this trip! I know you'll have a great time. The weather is getting better down here, sunny days, but cool mornings. Just not real hot yet.
Enjoy and safe travels!
Have a great trip!
Wow...How long will you be gone??? Have some fun too if you can!
Dearest Auntie Desert Rose~ I will be gone almost the whole month of February!! It seems so long! But I am sure it will go by fast!
This is going to be the biggest adventure EVER for you! I hope you have so much fun, even though you will be working hard. Could you have possibly imagined you would be doing this, this time last year. As for gimping out to see the horses, you should have made your man carry you out!
You almost scared me LOL "goodbye"!! I can't believe you will be gone that long!! WOW that will be so interesting for you!! Your sis is so sweet to update for you, we will all appreciate that!!! Have a blast and we will miss you greatly!!
Listen, Pony Cousin, you be a sponge and soak it all in so that you can share with your Cousins all that you see and do. I have been to some large horse shows (300 ponies is large to me. As teenagers, Cousin Cherie and i showed our ponies in one.), but i have never been to anything so grand as what you are going to experience. You're gonna love it! Enjoy every day, every moment.
Whew! I was worried the goodbye was something more serious. I'm glad you're ankle seems to be healing already and your feeling much better with less pain. Still, do take it easy and don't cause more injury by over doing things.
Oh! And I am hoping to get your updates IN PERSON my friend. I'm in the process of tying up all the loose ends for my own trip out the Scottsdale to see all the gorgeous Arabians....and YOU! :-D
I got your e-mail with all the contact info and I'll be sure to let you know when I'm at Westworld.
I'm so excited for you!
You're embarking on such a wonderful new adventure. Have fun!

will miss you paint girl! baby that ankle, it is still not healed! have fun and enjoy the weather. who knows, maybe that is where you will move to when you truly get tired of the wash. weather. be safe and be careful!
Glad you are feeling a bit better and I can't wait to get updates from Scottsdale. Have a great trip!
Glad to hear that your foot/ankle is getting better.
Have fun in Scottsdale! Can't wait to hear full reports when you get back!
Have fun and be safe.....will miss your posts and your sis is so nice to do that for you!! Love the photo of her with her Boy! I wish I could get out of dodge and see the show and you in action! In my book, the grooms are the most important person to the horse at these shows, not because you make them beautiful but you also help them relax. Remember that in your head! Sweet blessings and travels!
P.S. I know you're a positive person....just wanted you to know you have support when needed. Luanne
I'm glad that you are feeling better and healing. Have a GREAT time in Scottsdale I can't wait to hear about it when you get home! (and Ponygirls updates too)
So glad to hear you're on the mend. You are going to have the time of your life in Scottsdale!!! Look forward to hearing all about it!
Have a great time!!! Enjoy the warm sunshine. Get better soon.
Have a safe, happy, and productive trip! Hope your gang kicks butt at the show! And take care of yourself, ok?
Have a BLAST!! Can't wait to hear all about it! :) So exciting!!!
i'm looking forward to hearing about your adventures in Scottsdale!

Scottsdale is so exciting! Its such a huge deal in the Arab world, very cool that you get to go. At Cal Poly Pomona (where I graduated from) they have a large Arabian Horse Center, I used to live there and was on feed crew. They go to Scottsdale every year. One year one of our studs was a unanimous Park Champion. It was crazy! So, say hi to any Cal Poly horses! And good luck, hopefully your stable will kick butt!
Have fun in Scottsdale! I have to say your OH is wrong! A big horse show IS a BIG fashion show! LOL for horses and humans!
You will be sorely missed but at least we'll have some updates from your sister. I hope your healing continues and that Scottsdale is one of those unbelievably wonderful, memorable, experiences that leads to lots more good stuff. I'm so eloquent... Take care!
It will be fun to post updates for you. Don't forget about us back here at home in the rain! :) Wish I could see what you packed.
You will have fun, soak it all up!
p.s. tell your horses not to get into trouble while you are gone, or the OH and I will have our hands full!
Should be a blast--and you'll probably have great weather. I LOVE Scottsdale--and combined with horses--PERFECT! Looking forward to the updates! Have fun!
Glad to hear you're on the mend. You have a FANTASTIC time in Scottsdale (yes even while you're working!)
I haven't been on the blogs much lately, and just caught up with the story of your ankle injury. I have had 2 of those injuries in the last 2 years. I hate to be the one to tell you this, but it will probably be more like 4-6 weeks of healing. You need crutches or one of those compression boots so you can walk without making it worse. Having said that, have a good time in Scottsdale, and keep us up to date!!!! I'll be thinking of you..I know EXACTLY how you feel!!
Gosh, Girl, that's a long time! You are going to have some great fun AND get paid!! Hope to see you next weekend.
Good luck and Godspeed! Have fun !
Glad you are doing better!
Have a great time, and don't forget to keep healing!
You are one tough cookie!
Have a wonderful, glorious time in Scottsdale, and hopefully that ankle will continue to improve while you're there! :)
Little does your OH know, it so is a fashion show!! You'll see!! The best outfits and all!! Everyone will be dressed to a "T"!!! But it will be sooo much fun! I worked at the QH Congress a while back for a trainer and it was sooooo awesome! Girl, you are going to be in paradise!! Have fun and I hope your ankle feels better! Don't over do it!!
So sorry you are haing so much of a problem and I hate it that you are going to Scottsdale injured! Reminds me of something that happened to me this past summer.....but you will be fine, just will be a little painful because you will be on your feet so much. Darn the luck. Try to have a great time and it will be so exciting for you!
You are going to have so much fun! Traveling is the BEST! Plus, you will learn so much that all of that stubborn ankle pain may just wilt away in the rush! Many thanks to Pony Girl for helping me get my Paint Girl fix!
I must have missed the injury! Hope it feels better soon and have a safe trip!
