Graduations and new seasons of life

Love my sweet girl!

Hi Everyone, Danica Favorite here, and I am in the throes of graduation preparation for my daughter, Cowgirl. It's a busy time, checking all the things off our lists, and making sure everything is done and ready for the big day on Saturday. She'll be going off to college in the fall, and because she's going to be far away, I'm making the most of every minute I have left with her. 

One of the things that's been the hardest for me is that as I've had to turn in various collages and pictures is finding pictures to use. My photo files are so full and disorganized. For example, I had in mind a couple of pictures I wanted to share here, but I can't find them. So, while you aren't getting the ones I wanted, you'll at least get some cute ones. :)As I've spent hours going through pictures, I've been struck by what a wonderful life we've had so far with Cowgirl. We've been truly blessed, and I'm grateful for all the things we've shared. People ask if I'm going to miss her, and wonder how I can let her go so far. It's hard, letting her go, but I've always encouraged her to follow her dreams, and this is the best opportunity for her to do so. And I know that we will create new memories and they will be just as precious for us. 

I tried to arrange the pictures here, but my computer kept freezing, so it's not as pretty as I'd hoped, but I hope you enjoy! And, hopefully, this is a fun look at some of the inspiration behind my stories about horses and kids!

I'd love to hear your tips on how you organize and label your photos. I noticed that with a lot of the pictures of my kids and their friends, we don't remember the friends' names! I also still want to make a video montage of all the photos to play at her graduation party, so share your favorite tips!

She has always loved horses and used to pretend to be one

Such a horse lover!

One of her first big girl rides!

Even a dog could be a horse to her!

Farewell Cowgirl!

Coming in July from Danica:

His secret past. His second chance.

Three Sisters Ranch could be his way home…

When inexperienced rancher Nicole Bell starts training her troubled mare, Fernando Montoya has just the expertise she needs. But helping Nicole brings Fernando dangerously close to revealing the secret he’d rather keep hidden: he learned the skill in prison. While the horse draws them together, can Fernando find a way to tell her the truth…and keep it from pulling them apart?
