Us at the River, like the reflection in Greg's glasses?

What, It's almost September?

So, yes I am still alive. After being on vacation and getting back to work, things have been hectic.

A few quick updates:

• FOOTBALL season is here! First game is Saturday at 2:30 against Georgia. We are planning our tailgating stragedy right now. We made a trip to the stadium to check our seats out. Hopefully I'll remember to bring my camera and take pictures in the sea of ORANGE!
  
• I saw Pioneer Woman in person on Saturday. Some of you may have received the text message. We were at the Range Roundup in OKC. It was a good time and the evening became very interesting.
  
• I'm eating Cocoa Roasted Almonds right now and they are pretty tasty. I didn't like them in the beginning but they are growing on me.
  
• The John D. Hale Band is playing at the Wormy Dog Saloon in OKC on Sept. 18. If you are in the area you should come! Greg and his brother Brian grew up with John. They are based out of Jackson, MO. We plan on getting a hotel room and spending the night. The game on Saturday is at 6:00, so we will still have plenty of time to tailgate.
  
• My parents are coming this weekend to visit. We are taking them to the Express, Limestone, and Pollard sales.
  
• We are tentatively going to Denver in Jan. for the stock show with Mark and Amy. I'm pretty excited about it. I have only been once and it was in 2001 with the parents. I have booked us room and everything.
  
• I'll be home for a short time (i.e. maybe two days) the first weekend of October for Lane's baby shower and hopefully Gracyn's baptism.
  
• John is suppose to come visit mid-September! We have a lot planned for him.
  
• Henry the horse inflicted a wound on me on Saturday. Showing cattle I was always told to never let go of the rope. With Henry, the rule is to let go I guess. So, I have a small rope burn on my hand.
  
• Our office is freezing today, like 70 degrees or something. I have my socks on and blanket wrapped around me.
  
• I left the windows open last night and when we woke up it was 66 degrees in the house and 53 degrees outside. I LOVE THIS WEATHER!
  
• My office was decorated in cows when I returned from vacation. I have since herded them to one wall, branded, and ear tagged them. I'm still working on building fence and putting out water troughs. I haven't had time to work on it lately.
  
• Hopefully when I'm done writing here I'll post some pictures, no guarantees though.
• Home was WONDERFUL! We went to a church picnic, demolition derby, truck and tractor pull, the county fair, winery, Suhr's party, went out on the river in Andy and Jess's boat, and most importantly, saw our families!
  

Well, I better get back to work, happy Monday!

Wish I was in Missouri . . . . . .
