So last weekend I was able to go camping with Amy and Cindy and Cindy's family! We spent the entire weekend up in the mountains riding horses everyday, swing dancing at night, playing on fourwheelers, and in general just having a blast! It was such an amazing camping trip!!! While we were there we went on gorgeous trail rides and got to see some truly amazing sites. The feeling of being up in the mountains far away from everyone and everything, playing in the water with Rubia, looping cowboy back to camp! I have officially become 100% addicted to horses! There is such a freedom riding through the beautiful mountainside being able to be out in the middle of no where just you and your horse and focus on what's really important in life!
...And then you come back to the real world...
So this isn't meant to be some complaining about boys most in general are pretty decent, but I and the girls I know seem to meet the rare exceptions to these decent one's ;) hence the reason so many girls are deciding to give up and be done haha for example the week before I went camping I found out from some friends...
That one guy stops talking to you cause you won't make out with him, another continuously asks you on dates and to do things and then 5 mins before hand bails out, another asks you to be his girlfriend on the first date and then wants you to meet his family a day later, another plays games and messes with your head.
Then there are the great one's, they call exactly when they say they will, they are always on time for dates or just hanging out, they truly want to get to know you not just know what they can get from you. They are the one's we all hold out for the one who is going to treat you with all the respect and loyalty you deserve. The problem is distinguishing between the two...and then it gets even more complicated when half the people you know say you should date someone, some say follow your heart (which that may be the one thing you can't do) others try to tell you not to rush to grow up, while more try to tell you just simply how to run your life! I'm done being told what I can and cannot do, I'm sick of wishing for the perfect guy, I'm sick of being told how to handle my life. That I don't get out enough, I work too much, I have too much pressure on me, etc.
Sorry I had to vent somewhere...and I haven't written on here for a while! Life is great I enjoy every aspect of what I do, I feel like I am actually accomplishing things, and most importantly I am able to help out a lot of kids and families who don't have much better if that means sacrificing a little right now I am prepared to do so, I know this is the right thing, right now, and I know that I couldn't have made it even close to this without the help and encouragement of those around me, and the love and strength they give me, I'm so very grateful for that knowledge and the knowledge of this gospel, and the strength it gives me to make it through the harder times in life! :)

yet another fantastic post Chelsea. I can't believe how much you have matured and grown since I first met you. Sadly I must take my place with the loser guys you are talking about here but I am so glad you have come to know what my blog is centered around... The thoughts from the saddle. When I was having a hard time on my mission a man that is the closest thing to a Grandpa I'll ever have (who is also the last of a dying breed, a real deal cowboy) wronte me a letter and said, "when times get tough always remember to 'whip a spur and turn your rough side out.'" sometimes thats what we gotta do Chels and it looks like thats what you're doing. Good job!
