This is it!

This is it!!! Corky and I leave for Congress tonight after work. I am a bundle of nerves...hoping to get this all out of my system before we leave! Everything is packed except the horse (would be bad to forget her!). Now I just endure the day until I leave.

I am trying to set my goals low, and not get my hopes or expectations up too high. I don't want to leave the show arena disappointed...I want to remember that it is a miracle that we are even here and that Corky is healthy enough to show, and that by just being here I have 'won' something. I hope Corky behaves and does her longe work well, I want everyone to see what a cool horse she is. Most of all, I want to have FUN! I want to erase my last memory of Congress and the disastrous equitation class in 2003 with Taylor, and I want to leave with a positive, happy feeling. Wish us luck!
