On Saturday, we went to visit with Corey's family in Wellsville at the kid's rodeo they have every year. I just thought we'd hang out and have a good time watching the kids participate, and we did. We watched our nephew, Daxton, win a cute bunny. Aubrey had fun watching the horses. Not only that, but Corey entered me, Corey, and Aubrey's name in the raffle. As soon as I found out that the prize was a colt I just knew we would win just because we were probably the only one's who entered who couldn't possibly take care of a horse. Sure enough they called 'Corey Hyer.' At first everyone thought it was a joke, because it just so happens that the announcer was Corey's uncle. Very funny! HaHa! But he wasn't kidding. I think Corey was in shock, too, because they had to call his name a couple of times before he went out into the arena to claim his prize. I honestly haven't seen Corey so dang excited in a long time. He was grinning from ear to ear. I wish I could say I was just as excited, but all I could think about was what in the heck were we going to do with a horse?!! Needless to say, it was a very fun and eventful night. It's one night I doubt we'll ever forget!
Here's Corey happy as can be. Who can blame him? How many people can say they won a horse? Who would've guessed our first pet would be a horse? Go figure.
Her name is Jewel. Isn't she pretty? She's the cutest little colt ever! Now that I've been able to get over the shock a little, I wish we could take her home with us. Aubrey would love it!
As you can see, I have no idea what to do with myself. I don't even know how to stand by a horse. How am I supposed to take care of one?
