April Showers Bring May Flowers!

I'm proud to announce that I did it!  I've successfully completed my SCUBA Diving Open Water course and now I'm officially a PADI certified scuba diver! Yea!  One longtime goal down.......... ten million more to go! 

I survived the chilly waters off Monterey!  Last weekend I had an AMAZING time while exploring the breathtaking world of the northern California Pacific coast.  I can't say enough about all the beautiful and abundant sea life.  I was lucky enough to see seals swimming in the breakwater cove just yards from us!  Not to mention the giant crabs crawling among thousands of starfish, corals, sanddabs and sea anenomies throughout the giant kelp forest.  My dive buddy and boyfriend Clay is an advanced diver and my teacher a total pro, so they eased all my fears.  Once in the ocean I was instantly amazed by the beauty.  I forgot how terrible and skin-tight my double layered wet suit, tank and gear all felt.  The sun was shining, the weather was perfect and the water was glass.  My teacher Kevin said "YOU GOT LUCKY!"  It's rarely sunny and warm in Monterey two days in a row.  I guess I can't have the weather Gods on my side all the time.  It was sunny for diving but rainy for the horse show this week.

From seaside to the foothills we are headed up to the Paint-O-Rama at Rancho Murieta Equestrian Center again for the Show of The Year.  It's one of the biggest, if not the biggest, Paint show in California.  This week has been challenging, rewarding and exciting all at the same time!  Our business is bustling this time of year with big shows right around the corner.  I'm so glad to have squeezed in some fun personal time this past week despite my otherwise workaholic schedule.  Hope to see all of our Paint friends out this weekend enjoying brighter skies and better weather!

Best of Luck,
