Let's take a moment to plan the future shall we? What if Tom does get a job at GM in Wentzville which my Mama is currently working towards? What if we sell our house here in Delaware and buy a much less expensive property in Missouri? What if said property has a horse barn? What if I buy two Shetland ponies and start my own business providing hand led pony rides for special events like children's birthday parties? And maybe start breeding Collies? Is this complete crazy talk and I'm hitting a quarter life crisis?
Back in reality-land...whose to say what my future holds but I'm really good with animals and always have been. Shouldn't I be using one of the talents God has given me? I threw this plan out to Tom and he responded via text with an "I see." I think that may be husband code for no?!?! Then I texted Mom the idea and she replied via text "Check the insurance on that. It would be fun." I think this may be code for my daughter's lost her mind. Then I finally talked to my Dad about it over dinner and being his typical voice of doom..."You're luck, somebody would sue you." Then he listed about five other scenarios of doom and pretty much poo-pooed the idea. I see a lot of research in my future.
I then suggested that maybe I could:
- Start breeding show dogs
- Open my own petting zoo
- Build an aviary in said imaginary barn and breed birds again
- Open a horse trail/four wheeler trail on imaginary Missouri property and charge admission
- Rent horse stalls out in the imaginary barn
