Meeting your future husband at the sheep ranch!
I need to back up some to get this story straight.....
A few weeks ago, I came up to the Iron Range to go horseback riding with my Mom and her friend Lori, who has been boarding her horses at my Mom's place for two or three years now. My Mom has been best friend with Lori's sister for as long as I can remember, and has known Lori all her life. After meeting Lori a few years ago (or at least the first time I remember meeting Lori), we immediately found multiple things to talk about and laugh about, and eventually we started going out horseback riding and talking when my Mom wasn't around. Now, I happen to consider Lori to be a friend of mine as well, and she is a blast to hang out with.
So, my Mom, Lori, and me went out riding a few weeks ago, and on the way Lori mentions that she is heart broken because her son (who happens to be my age) who was engaged to be married to a girl he had been dating for three years had been dumped, and the wedding called off. I listened to Lori's grief and provided some insight, and then it hit me. I said, "Well, Lor... I haven't done all to well at the dating game myself, I can't figure it out." "I tell you what, I have never met your son that I remember, so I don't know what he looks like, but he sounds like I nice guy, I'll marry him." What a brilliant idea. I know he is a nice guy, I obviously get along well with his Mom, and he is a Christian boy.... Lori laughed in response and said he is nice looking too. Well that was the end of the discussion.
This week, I came up and my Mom asked me if I wanted to go chase cattle at the sheep ranch. What?!??!?!??!? Cattle at a sheep ranch? I asked if they had any sheep, but apparently they don't, just cattle. This adventure sounded like a lot of fun, swamps, ledges, cliffs, streams, big cows to chase for hours on end, and a sore butt to boot. I have always wanted to do this, so I said of course I'll go. My Mom then informed me that Lori's son had been asked if he wanted to go up because the owner of the ranch thought it would be a fun get away for him. The ranch owner asked him to bring his Mom and my Mom along too (they had been up there before). So now I have a 45 minute drive with this guy I have never met but made strange comments about to his Mom, and Lori up to this Sheep Ranch where we will be riding horse for a long time together, then heading back home 45 minutes. Oh well, in the end, what a better way could there be to meet my future husband. Added bonus too, I didn't know he rode horse, I thought he only liked golf and other sports.
