Though I assume most people didn’t notice I’m even gone, I am in fact back up and rockin’ a new layout to boot!

I’ve decided to turn this into more of a photo-blog-ish, since I’m travelling around come tomorrow and some people do like to look at pretty pictures. (Others don’t and shame on you!) However, before I did that I just got to lock a lot of posts and password protect them so you crazy stalker people don’t stalk on my depressing love life has-beens. Hah.

Today marks D-Day minus 1, as I’m all packed and ready to go. I’ve got about 25 kg worth of clothes and other assorted accessories in my luggage, half of which I doubt I’ll even glance at once I reach the states. And you’d think that since we have a house there, I’d have to take less crap with me, nah. I use this as an excuse to pack even MORE stuff on top.. it may get SUDDENLY hot in California in February that I may need a swimsuit, just maybe! (*cough**Cry**couch*).

I’ve been trying to figure out why I’ve been having a hard time leaving this time around, normally I’m just about bouncing at the door waiting for the cab to come. I guess because this marks the end of a lot of ties in the Netherlands and Germany, the start of something fresh and the end of old drama. It’ll be for the best I’m sure, but that doesn’t make it easier.

Flight schedule for the day:
Hamburg to Frankfurt :: Departure: 06:00 
Frankfurt to San francisco :: Departure: 09:55

I’ll be touching american soil at exactly 02:00pm, odd. It should be a boring flight, nine hours of inflight entertainment (thank god that Business class has video games now-a-days).

I’ll be reporting back with pictures from Clearlake tomorrow night. Toodeloo and Au Revoir!

Today the lovely Dutch warmblood mare of my friend has been keured here in the Netherlands and is now almost a STER mare. Since her sire isn’t registered with KWPN, but only with the sporthorse association here, the mare needs to be tested under saddle probably in December, to become a full STER mare. However, she is now in the KWPN studbook, which is a great success and also a increase in worth, since my friend intends to breed her next year.

It’s a wonderful success, considering I’ve seen her grow up since birth and it was never assumed she would do soooo well. She’s still not as big as had been hoped, only 167cm, however compared to the other foals that had been born at the same time, she is the tallest.

Anyway, I’m happy, she’s happz and so everyone will celebrate. Woot.

I’m back to studying, curse the day I decided to do law.
