Back in August I started "Out Here" and in the first few post I think I mentioned about hanging on because it was going to be one hell of a ride. The truth is "Out Here" wasn't started to be a blog strictly about horses or farming. No it was started for the future as a place for you all to tag along for the ride and for me to have some fun along the way.

So here I go. My last day as a Critter Barn employee was Friday and my first day as a student, enrolled into a truck driving school, starts Monday. I want to thank everyone at the Critter Barn for all the good times and hard work and am hoping to be back around Christmas to help out with "live nativity".

Never before have I felt like I am standing in the cross hairs of life. It is go time and I feel it. At this moment I don't know what state I will be living in next month. It is a uneasy feeling. Not wanting to leave what is called home. But yet feeling that there is more out there for me. Feeling that for the last nine years I have helped Pine Manor chase there dreams and wander if it is time to chase my own dreams. It may sound weird but I feel like I have to give up what I know and love in order to have my own sunsets.

All I know is I want a live stock farm of my own someday. I also want to breed/raise horses and chase a national championship. This dream has been festering the last couple of years and by late last summer I knew what I would need to do to make it happen. The only way I can do that is to have my feet moving 24/7.  

I have wanted to be out on the road forever. All those years of helping Terry and Kris with There trucks and trailers, then watching as those diesels tugged those trailers off. Delivering shavings helped scratch that itch for a while. I learned a lot and met some great folks along the way. But now it isn't enough.

Hang on this is going to be fun!!!
