My Valentine’s Day 2019 view. Photo by Abby Powell.
One year ago I was in Aiken helping out my trainer. It wasn’t until after I had booked my flight down that I realized I’d be inadvertently ditching my husband on Valentine’s Day … whoops. He was cool with it though, because that’s the kind of guy he is and he’s pretty great about letting me (and by letting me I actually mean encouraging me) to run away and pursue random horse ventures. In fact, last year I was also away pursuing random horse ventures on his birthday and our anniversary as well … double whoops. This year though I made the point stick around town and have a decidedly un-horsey Valentine’s Day complete with dinner at a restaurant where I probably would have been kicked out for wearing barn boots — a significant change in venue than we are accustomed too. Life is all about balance!
