It's hard to believe that so much can happen in 10 short years. As you all know, I got married to my high school sweetheart, a month after graduation. I worked for a doctors office as an assistant for a couple of years when I heard about an opening at a veterinary clinic. I applied and got the job. Working at the vet clinic was a dream come true for me. I got to work with some of the most amazing people, and I got to work with animals every day. What more could I have asked for? 
Well, while working for the vet clinic I had three beautiful kids & found out what I'd been missing. Brindi will be 7 in September, Cael just turned 5, & Ambri is 3 1/2. I never thought I would be a mom, but I am & I love it!!!! I worked at the vet clinic for 7 years, during which time I got divorced from Randy. We'd never really gotten along well & couldn't stand the fighting anymore.
But, the vet clinic is also the scene for me meeting my new husband, and the love of my life!!!! I met Jared while he was bringing in some of his horses several years ago & we'd become pretty good friends. When I got divorced, it opened up a blank page for us & we decided to start seeing each other. Jared is 13 years older than me, never had kids, & has been paralyzed from his armpits down for 12 years. He's an absolutely amazing man with a heart of gold. He loves the kids and thinks of them as his own. I couldn't have asked for better. It didn't take long before we realized that we were destined to be together and shouldn't put off the inevitable any longer.
I left the vet clinic just before Jared & I got married so that I could devote more time to the kids and the projects that we have going on. We got married in October of 2007, we live in Sugar City, just off of highway 20, with close to 60 head of Morgan Horses. If you are driving by it's kinda hard to miss us, we're the big bunch of horses between the two over passes.
We are trying to get our new house finished right now, and have a couple of apartment buildings to take care of, a few houses, a commercial building, and some bare ground waiting for us to put storage units up on it. So, we are extremely busy!!!!I can't believe how much my outlook on life has changed in the last year since Jared & I have been together. I would have never thought I'd be a stay at home mom, but I am & I love it. There is nothing more rewarding than playing in a pile of dirt with my kids, taking them swimming, or saddling the pony and teaching them to ride. My family is so important to me and I absolutely love to spend time with them, even if it's just doing nothing at all. Life is great!!!! -- Angela M. Neeley
