Hossie

Hossie,

 First of all, Happy Happy Birthday!!! I know today in Heaven you are getting to go to a huge roping with some of your favorite and best partners!! That puts a big smile on my face and my heart happy.

Second of all, we miss you tons down here. I miss our summers of riding around through the pastures counting cattle and trips to the sale barn. I miss us sneaking a few sweets of a morning when out running errands and you making me promise not to tell Me-Me...like she wouldn't know!! lol! I miss our morning coffee times and your sweet smile!!

Love you tons and look forward to our time together again...and look forward to you getting to meet Garrett...he is pretty darn special!



Happy Birthday Hossie!!!

Weeks are flying by!!!

First of all, I would like to apologize for my lack of blogging lately!! Life has been crazy busy, but that also means alot to catch up on!!

The first weekend in August, I had the honor of shooting a wedding in Brownfield for Nathan and Jacki....it was at a beautiful rustic venue! Can't wait to share pictures but while you wait...here is a glance at the Bride and her girls!




Last Monday, headed North to get my bridals taken! Sylvia Renick has taken all our girls senior pictures and Rebecca and Allie's bridals so I was so excited for it to be my turn with this very talented lady!! We went several places around town and had a blast!!!  Can't wait to share...but not for another 2 weeks :)

Tuesday, Garrett started his job with Cactus feeders as their feed foreman. He seems to be really enjoying even though he has to be in Tulia by 4:40 AM!!!!  He was so excited to get a job in industry where he can put his Beef Nutrition degree to use....we just had to be patient because is was all in God's timing and we are so blessed!! I am so proud of him!!



The rest of the week was spent watching the Olympic and hanging out with my fiance...it is so weird to have him in the same town (well close..he is in Amarillo) but so nice and fun!!!

Saturday my boss and a great friend had a fun little Stock the Bar party for Garrett and I...what a fun idea!! We left that night with some great additions to our bar!!! Lots of wines and whisky (our favorite)....can't wait to invite people over for a dinner party!!

This is my last week of work before heading to Dalhart for the big day!!! T minus 12 Days until our BIG DAY!!!! Beyond excited....ready to be home to help finish everything up!!! Excited to see family and friends!!

2 Weeks until we are here!!! I can't wait!!! Sugar Bay Resort and Spa in St. Thomas!


Have a blessed week!!!

"On a Pontoon"

"Pontoon"
Back this hitch up into the water
Untie all the cables and rope
Step onto the astro turf
Get yourself a coozie
Let's go

Who said anything about skiin'?
Floatin' is all I wanna do
You can climb the ladder
Just don't rock the boat while I barbeque

On the pontoon
Makin' waves and catchin' rays up on the roof
Jumpin' out the back, don't act like you don't want to
Party in slow motion
Out here in the open
Mmmmmmm...motorboatin'
 
This song was our theme song this past weekend as about 12 of us girls headed of to Lake Texhoma for Reisha Bachelorette Weekend!! And we had a blast!
 
 Headed East..
 Pretty sure we were the cool car!!
Oh yes definately the cool car!
 Kari bringing back the 80s!
Lingerie Shower time
Reisha's sexy panties
 Lunch at the Marina!


LAKE TEXHOMA!!

Fabulous weekend with all the girls. So blessed with amazing friends. So excited for Reisha and Garrett and their wedding in October!
