The Long Distance Equestrian

My husband and I have to plan out our time together, now that I got another job working at a barn. I mostly do barn work  three times a week, from 10-1pm, and then I close at my cafe for the rest of the week. For now, the time management seems pretty easy. I want to keep my barn schedule to Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. I requested Mondays and Wednesdays off, so those days can be dedicated to barn work, and spending time with the husband when I get home. Closing at my cafe will most likely be Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, depending on how many days they have me scheduled for. I hope I do not get burnt out doing all of this work, and I am glad that my husband is accommodating with his own schedule. I know that he has work tomorrow, so it will probably be a full day with no contact. When in a long distance relationship, it is best to communicate with your significant other about your work schedule, or general schedule for the week, so that it is easier...

It is funny how the holidays seem to fly by! Christmas this year was ok. I enjoyed watching my nephews opening up their presents, and the excitement in their expressive eyes as they unwrap their holiday surprise. I also loved the cookies that my mother bakes every year for Christmas. Her chocolate chip cookies are to die for! I just wish the husband was here to enjoy Christmas with me. It is weird not being with him during the holiday season, and I almost have a void inside my heart during this time of year. It can get especially troubling when seeing couples together on this special season, holding hands, and cuddling close to keep warm from the bitter cold as they walk down the street. Ah, no matter. At least there is hope of celebrating with him next year, and the year after that.  Speaking of which, I have to get his form started. I will start on that tomorrow, either before or after work. At least I've done all my research, although it never hurts to double, and tr...

I detest it when I am not able to sleep at night because of my running thoughts. The thoughts about the distance, and worrying about getting the green card process started to V never seem to end... I want everything to go well in January. I hope that everything will go well, and that I have all the forms and proof needed to prove that my hubby and I have a real relationship. Hell, there are a lot of photos of us together, and millions of various convos from Skype that I could probably send in. However, I need to figure out how to get all that proof sorted an organized, so that it is easier for the people who are going to be looking over it. I hope that the process will be quick, and that V will be able to get his card by September. That way, he does not have to go back to England after he attends my Uncle's wedding. It would suck if he was still in the pending process... then he would have to wait over there. I wish that it was easier. I know that this form filling and ...
