"Dear God, please tell mommy cowgirls don't take baths, we dust off."

Emily and Mia, summer 2008

I would like to say "thanks" to some very important people in my life. 

I would like to say Thank-you to John Lyons for having such a wonderful way with horses.  Your methods are wonderful.  Josh Lyons, you're a good friend!  It has been an honor riding along side of you, and learning from you.  I admire you, very much.

To my folks, and Allans family, thank you too, for helping my dreams come true.  You have been so supportive of me, helping me in many ways--too many to count.

Allan's dad, my brothers, dad...thanks for working on my barn in the bitter cold!  Its so much appreciated!

Uncle Robert--thanks a billion!

Most of all, Allan.  Thank you for being the most wonderful husband a girl could ask for!  You are my rock, and I thank god, everyday for you.  You made my dreams come true!  You helped me follow my dreams, you gave me two wonderful, beautiful baby girls.  You are the best.

To my daughters, Emily and Mia:  you both are too little to read this, but I have to say you are so precious to me.  YOU are a dream come true.  There is nothing like coming home at the end of the day from a job you love, to another job of being "mom".  No job beats that one.  There is nothing better then the moments of reading bedtime stories, running the bubble baths, and being with my girls.  I love you guys soooo much.

Everyone else who has supported me, thank you.  You'll always be in my thoughts.
