If there's a will, there's a way!

Soooo in early January a friend of my sister's invited her to Arkansas for the day as he was visiting a friend, and later going to Joplin to visit his grandpappy. When I caught wind of this, a glint formed in my eyes!

   I had a friend who I had talked to for awhile and we talked about meeting over in Joplin to hang out. Of course with me not having a car makes things difficult. Anyway my sister talked to him and everything was just peachy...until it wasn't.

   Although her friend (former co-worker of mine) had to drive through Joplin to get to Arkansas, he sorta made things complicated and said he wasn't going to drop me off. {Insert mad face holding it's breath...looking all pouty} 

   So I continued to ask him,and tried to bargain with him and he WOULD.NOT.BUDGE. But lil O'l Kendall kept on trying and finally I offered him $50 dollars to take me. (I was saving up for my car at the moment. Ironic isn't it?) He told me that I was as stubborn and my sister. And that was sort of a compliment? I guess?

   In any case things worked out, I got a chance to hang out with my friend Ashley, her mother and her sisters. The trip was 2 hours, although not that long troublesome for someone with a vehicular transport...thing. We got a chance to go to the mall for a little while,we also both  got a chance to play Laser Tag for the first time. it was pretty fun!

   Afterwards we traveled to Nevada, MO if I'm not mistaken, as she wanted to look at a horse. Now from this point on, she has gotten me addicted to horseback riding! I'd never done it before, although I had wanted to for awhile. 

So these are a few pictures of me riding for the first time!

I don't care what anyone says, that horse tried to kill me. It simply did. It almost knocked me off but I managed to stay on and rode him a few more times afterwards. (His name was Whiskey btw)

It was a BLAST and I cannot wait until I get my own horse. But the mechanical steed known as a car comes first :(

It was a little chilly for riding that day, but still fun.

To leave a moral. As people say "If there's a will, there's a way" 

If you don't have the will, you'll make excuses not to do it.
