No. 16 || Part One

Last week, on the 8th, was my birthday. It was a fun-packed few days. I thought I would share, in a couple parts, the pictures. So...part one:

For my birthday I wanted to ride a horse. So that's what I did, thanks to some awesome people putting it together. It was SO MUCH fun. The horse walked along and was on a lead rope most of the time, just so I could get a feel for it. I learned how to stop, go, turn left and right.

Again, I really really loved it. And just because, here's a video....

Rumor has it that today was the coldest one in 20 years. It's the kind of cold you can feel in your bones, the kind that seeps through the walls. But, I'm thankful for this warm house, a cozy bed, and (many) cups of hot chocolate.

Enjoy the video (first published one from my DSLR!). xoxo.
