Grace Zandew grew up in a small town near Houston, Tx. She competes in barrel racing and tie down on a pro level. This coming season she joins ERA. What she doesn't know is that she has caught the eye of a man from Sulphur, Louisiana. He's a champio...
Finally getting this non walking cast gone and getting a walking boot. It's the end of January and I'm excited to be getting it off. Shane already started packing my stuff last week. Dad and Cole came up last night to continue packing while Shane went with me to get the cast off.
Once we got there of course waiting was my big issue, but Shane kept that to a minimum. Once the doctor called my name I got up and went back. They X-Rayed my foot and made sure it was healed all the way.
I got the boot and was told to use the crutches for a week or so. We walked out and Shane asked how it went. "I have to use the crutches until I'm independent on my foot again." I told him.
"Yeah that would be about, what a week?" He asked. "Yup. The sooner the better." I got into the truck and he drove back to my place. Arrow was at his place already and Shane was using Si this full season. When we got there I got out letting my left foot hit the ground before my right.
Yup can barely stand on it. I walk/hobbled up to the house and opened the door. Dad and Cole were packing the kitchen same as when we left. Most of my stuff was already at his house including my buckles.
He forgot to mention there was a basement where he kept more of his trophies and buckles. When he was younger he played baseball and that's where he kept those trophies.
We decided on displaying our top three recent buckles on the mantle and the rest go on shelves in the basement. Mom filed divorce on dad and he didn't care too much of it. I didn't either. I thought she was being a witch to my future husband.
Five more months until we're hitched! Can't wait until we get to Pecos, Tx, that's where we're getting married. That morning before it starts. Dad, Cole, my grandparents, and family, plus his family are going to travel there two days before we get there and start decorating.
I got a dress picked out and told the girls I'm going to need their help by being my bridesmaids. They agreed and we already had invitations sent out to our friends if they wanted to come.
I found a cake idea online for ours and went with it. Called the best bakery there and sent them a picture of it and asked if the initials could be S+G H and they agreed to it. My grandma and his mom and sisters are going to pick up the cake for the reception just before its time to rodeo.

^Pic of cake ^ I finished packing a box with my clothes and shoved it out of the way. Shane came and got the box and took it to his truck. Cole told me he wanted the house once he was old enough so I let him have it besides its only a year.
All the spices and canned food was coming with me because I knew they were going to be used. Once I was done packing my clothes I put my feminine products in a bag and tossed my body wash, shampoo and conditioner into the bag as well.
My loofa was also thrown into the bag. Shane got it and dad and the guys loaded the rest of the feed and hay up in my trailer and Cole was driving my truck.
Once we got to his and now my house we unpacked most of my things dad and Cole left after an hour. It was only two and a half hours back to Sugar Land anyway.
Shane and I went to bed around midnight once everything was good to go.

Finally I was back to walking normal. No more crutches or help. I don't have to wear the walking boot at night so yay me. Only two more weeks in it too!
I went to the barn to see the horses. Shane's practicing while I can't so what am I supposed to do? Of course spoil his horses. I went into Reata's stall with a brush and began brushing his coat.
Boots and hooves clacking the concrete got my attention. Shane came through the barn leading Si. I went out of Reata's stall and went up behind him. I put my arms around him and rubbed my head in his back.
"How's my beautiful girl this afternoon?" He asked. "Good. Just out seeing the horses." I told him. We walked up to the house and kicked our boots off, well I kicked my left boot off.
We both laid down on the couch and I took my boot off to lay down comfortably. I laid against him and dozed off into a nap.
A hand rubbing my arm woke me. "Come on let's go fix supper." Shane told me. I sat up and put the boot back on then follow him into the kitchen.
He would always tell me if I was moving too fast and to slow down. Always I would listen because I may reinjure my ankle. When supper was done I ate with him then got a bath.
I sat with him on the couch and watched a movie. He kissed my temple before I dozed back off to sleep.
