My Love has Been Renewed. :)

Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved horses. I was constantly trying to convince my parents to let me have one, but the answer was never what I wanted. My dad, being the farmer that he is, believed that horses were just money and hay eaters. (So basically they just sit there, eat hay, and do nothing) And then my mom didn't want to have another "child" to take care of. Now this isn't a dis on my parents my any means. They knew what was best for me and I only feel a little hole in my heart that only a horse could have filled. ;) Now, this hole is finally being filled by my job. I get to be around about tons of horses everyday! I love it!! I have ridden horses almost everyday and I just can't seem to get enough of it. (Even though I get a little saddle sore and my knees make me feel like an old woman every time I ride) My favorite horse is probably Dante. (Sorry I don't have a picture of him) He is black with a little white patch on his forehead and is kinda spunky which I like. I went on a cattle drive with him and even though he ran me into a tree, made me almost fall off of him, and gave me a large bruise on my thigh, I still like him. :)

Me and Buckwheat. :) (Excuse my grammar...school's out.)

This is Duke. He is one of the newest horses to the ranch and he is huge. That can be explained by the fact that he is a draft horse and he's just cool like that. The cowboy next to me is Josh. He works here on the ranch with me and is awesome!!

There are tines of other horses up here, but I don't like them or know them too much yet. But yeah, there's an update on my life. I'm a farm girl that is living on a ranch cooking for hungry men everyday and riding horses anytime I want. :) This is me!

Just an Introduction :)

So here goes it. :) My name is Natalie Ann McIntyre. I have blonde hair, blue eyes, tan skin, and a crazy personality. I am the youngest of nine kids and I wouldn't change that for anything. :) Without every one of us crazies, we would not be complete. We all are a different piece of a puzzle and without that one piece, the puzzle will always be missing something. I also have 13 nieces and nephews and two more on the way. I love to play with them and make them laugh as much as possible. :) I just graduated for Vallivue High School on May 22nd, 2012. High school was such a fun time in my life, but I know that much better times are to come. I will miss the many friends that I made there, but the true ones will always stick with me. :)

My parents at my graduation. :) They helped me so much and I probably would have either dropped out, failed, or had the worst years of my life without them helping me along the way. I love you guys...to the moon and back. :)

My new home. :) 

 

Less than a week after I graduated I moved away to a job that I got with Emily at Granite Creek Guest Ranch in Ririe, Idaho. I wasn't exactly ready to move away from my parents just yet. I felt like a little bird getting shoved out of the nest to test her wings. Luckily, they were fully grown and ready to help me fly. :) It's hard being away from everyone so quickly, but I know that this is what I am supposed to be doing and that gives me a lot of comfort. I am so grateful that Emily is here with me or else I would probably be crying myself to sleep every night. After this job is over and done, I will be attending BYU-Idaho to study Physical Therapy. Or Psychology. I'm not exactly sure yet and to tell you the truth, my major will probably not be either of those..:) I will also be living with Emily up there and I am so excited to start my college life.
