Sickness/Dressage

I have been incredibly sick lately, so sorry for not updating! Made my RSS video:



Anyways, it's getting pretty close to my first dressage show! I still have yet to find a helmet, dress coat, and boots that fit :/ Those are kind of important. Nothing fits me, ever. I'm in between kids and adults. Meh!

I have Intro Test A memorized, but I think I might go ahead and enter Intro Test B as well, but I don't know it, so I had better learn it soon ;) They are super easy, just working walk, trot, and halt. A little bit of free walk, but Wisey ALMOST has it down.
Once i'm in shape I think we can fly through training level...because to be honest I could ride those tests years ago, I was just in jumpers xD Wisey needs to balance himself out though, so he can get his left lead canter without struggling so much. His right lead is flawless, and he can counter-canter on it like nobodies business xD He already can extend his trot flawlessly as well! He is a very fast learner, and he LIKES to learn. Once he learns something, he does it to show off :P So cute.

Anyways, I have decided that the actual show is going to be a million times easier than buying the attire for it LOL. I'm going to look like a clown in all the fancy clothes, because let's be honest... i'm NOT fancy. Hopefully everyone will watch Wisey because he is FABULOUS. :)

Hmm.. don't really know what else to say...OH. I went to my sisters Bachelorette party today! She is getting married this weekend and moving out the weekend after that. I'm the wedding photographer and i'm so nervous that i'll screw up or lose the pictures or something O_o I'm going to miss my little boo when he is gone<333

Blank.

I have nothing to say. My mind is as blank as my stare.
Thoughts whirling like a tornado, and yet, none of which I want to speak.
Someone tell my mind to shut up.

Funeral

Drew's funeral was today. Chelsea drove me, and I realized that this has brought so many people together. People who love Drew. I also realized that I need to keep in touch with people, to keep friends close. At the Church, through the tears, there was also laughter. Because you can't hear a story about Drew and not laugh. One of the best?

He was in a foreign country at a wedding, did not know the language or anyone there, and what did he do? He danced. He literally went and did the soldier boy, moon walked, you name it. And according to his cousin, his moves were so awesome that the everyone stopped and formed a circle, watching him. But his cousin had an allergic reaction and was upset, wanting to dance. What did he do then? He went over and made sure she was okay, and said, "This is the opportunity of a lifetime, being here. So if you want to dance, we shall dance."

He was much too good for this world.

I met his mom at the Wake, and saw her again today, and I can tell where he gets his awesome-ness from. I wish her all the best, and I hope she knows that her son was one of the greatest kids I ever met, and ever will meet.

RIP Drew, i'm pretty sure heaven was boring before you arrived. I expect you to liven it up<3 :)

Awaken

Drew's Wake was today. Suzy & Sam went with me, which I appreciate very, VERY much.
It was VERY Drew. There were glo-sticks in the flowers, and they were playing Green Day during the slideshow. The quote was from Lady Gaga - Brown Eyes. It fit so well. He loved Lady Gaga.
"In your brown eyes I couldn't stay
Where everything was everything but everything is over
How I lost you and your brown eyes, brown eyes
Everything was everything but baby, it's the last show
Honey yeah, it's no surprise that I got lost in your brown eyes"

 I wasn't expecting an open casket, and he was holding his sunglasses and his favorite hat so when I went up I started crying in front of everyone :/ Then, while hugging Clayton, I SNORTED extremely loud. My life. They laughed and smiled, at least. It was amazing to see how many people loved him though, and there are a LOT of people that did.
RIP Drew, I will never forget you.

Tomorrow is the funeral, and i'll be there with Chelsea<3 Hopefully I don't embarrass myself again.
I love you Drew.

Native American

Jay came over today, and we took many pictures, which turned out AMAZING. I'll put a lot of them up on tumblr: www.whattawiseguy.tumblr.com If you want to see them :) I finished the headband, so I used it for some of the pictures.

I love them a bunch. I have some great ones of Jay but I feel like he would want to edit them himself. Maybe i'll post some later? :) I donno, I love himm.
Corey came over later and we flimed PNTM, and some random stuff for RSS.
Random fact: I'm part Native American.

Tomorrow is Drew's Wake. Tuesday is the Funeral. I'm terrified.

Crafts

I absolutely love crafts. Currently i'm working on a suede headband with feathers, and then i'm going to make a dream catcher. Here's the headband so far:

You can't see it, but it's braided. I still have to attach the feathers and figure out how to close the back. I love it a bunch so far though.

Other than that, Jay came over today, and also Sue. I love them both to death, I just thought you should know.
Drew's Wake is Monday, i'm going to bawl my eyes out in front of everyone, I just know it. If Chelsea doesn't come with me I don't know if i'll be able to step foot inside. RIP<3

RIP Drew

Rest In Peace. You deserve to be happy, you really do. Even if we hadn't seen each other lately, you are still one of my best friends and I will never forget you, ever. You were one of the nicest kids i've ever met, as well as one of the funniest. You never failed to make me laugh and smile. I'm really glad I knew you, and that I have photos and videos (We never did make out SecretSecretDino video D=) with you that will never go away. Some of my favorite memories were with you. Square dancing at homecoming together, fitting as many people as possible into your truck at one, you showing up outside my house late at night, THE FACE, switching jackets at lunch, and many many more. I love you. I really do, and I hate that you had to feel that pain. I wish I could help, I would do almost anything to have been there for you. You are amazing Drew, and words can't describe how much you deserved better.


Once again, I love you<3

LookBook

Hello, I haven't updated this is much too long! I have a lookbook now: http://lookbook.nu/user/197563-Anna-R

Lookbook is a fashion site where people post outfits, or 'looks,' it's really neat :) I only have one photo up, so I really need to work on that. Anyways, just wanted to let you all know that i'm going to use this blog as a kind of digital scrapbook, which hopefully you will all enjoy! So, I shall see you soon<3
