Life's been busy.

I'm babysitting for a neighbor almost daily till the end of October and I'm wokring with Lacey, who's now almost 7 months old!

I've also been keeping up with my article writting and so far I have 3 published articles!

I also decided one day to take a risk and write a letter to Ian Miller, 9 time olympian and also known as "Captain Canada!"

Here is a bit of info on him for those of you that don't know who he is.

Ian Miller is a famouse show jumper.

He has been jumping for about 40-50 years (He's now over 60!) and at one point wond over 11 Million dollars in 11 years!

He is also known for having the famouse show jumping stallion "Big Ben" who was so famouse he was made into a Breyer model horse and even has a horse show named after him!

Here is his Breyer model...

They are almost IMPOSSIBLE to find but I was fortunate enought o get a hold of one and it's on it's way to me now!

Once we are moved to Ontario, I'm going to visit Ian Miller and ask him to autograph it!

Ian Miller and Big Ben were so famouse, they were made into a statue! It's AMAZING!!

Here is Ian Miller and Big Ben in action!

They were AMAZING together!

Unfortunatly, Big Ben died before I could ever meet him, he died at the ripe old age of 23 in 1999.

Despite his dam being 15.1 hh and his sire being 15.3 hh, Big Ben reached the amazing height of 17.3 hh!!!

Anyway's, moving on....

I wrote to Ian Miller, I think it was August 25th and I asked him if he would allow me to interview him to a future magazine article.

To be honest, I did not expect a reply.

To my suprise, yesterday I came home from babysitting and there it was, "THE LETTER"!

He accepted my offer and I'm going to be sending him my questions in a few days!

He also sent me an auographed photo of him and Big Ben!

It's my pride and joy!

When I told my editor that he was going to let me interview him, she was shocked!

In Other news...

Lacey is now 12.2 hh and is 440 lb's!

Last month she was 339lb's and 12.1hh.

She's growing like a weed!

Mina's doing good too! I'll try to post some pics when our comp is not so slow!

I've got some pics of me jumping in July. I can acces them so here they are!

My form in this next pic is HORRIBLE!

Well, that's all for today, I'll try to post more soon.

P.S We are going to the wave pool tomorrow then to my aunts wedding on Saturday, so it will not be this week.
