A Country kind of day!

You know I love my country music.... well today at our Leadership Columbia I got to meet Scotty & Carissa from Clear 99 at one of our stops at Zimmer Radio. They are great people and do so much in our amazing community.... Thank you!

The Mighty Moose!

Every time I drive over by Stoney Creek Inn I see this moose I can't help but think of Chevy Chase in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation where Clark and Eddie drink egg nog out of the moose mugs and National Lampoon's Vacation where they travel to Walley World to see Marty Moose...."It's a quest! I'm on a pilgrimage to see a moose! Praise Marty Moose".... I can't help but laugh when I see those movies!

A Chamber kind of day!

Today was a great day! We started out the day at the Chamber of Commerce Quarterly Membership Breakfast and then had the Business Showcase! This is something our wonderful Chamber of Commerce puts on each year and is a great way to network with 100 other businesses and many people from our community. We had lunch with the founder of craigslist.com (Craig Newmark, pictured above with me). He has so much amazing information stored in his head and I wish he was more of a "people person" and could give us better insight on who he is and how he got to where he is today.... The Business Showcase ended with a mixer and announced the 3 finalist for the Athena and Athena Young Professional Award as well as the 5 finalists for the 2010 Small Business of the Year.... a very eventful day! Thank you to all of the hard workers that helped make this day so successful!

Happy Birthday Ashley!

Today is my baby sisters 29th birthday! I am so proud of her and the woman she's became... She's married to a wonderful guy and has a beautiful home. It's so hard to imagine 29 years ago she came into my life and I couldn't imagine life without her in it.... Love you sis and I hope you have had a great birthday! :)

Easter Sunday ride in the country....

This is our beagle/mix Bailey! She was left on the main road in Fulton, Missouri and a friend of ours picked her up and brought her home with him. She was barely 2 or 3 months old and when I saw her and couldn't resist! She made a great addition to our min pins, Max and Mattie. She is about 8 years old and is a smart dog. Every morning Brandon takes her for a quick ride in his truck. She gets so excited to take a ride and was disappointed this morning when she couldn't go with us so this afternoon we took her for a ride in the country and she loved it! She sits up front with Brandon in her own seat and I sit in the back! It's the little things in life that make you smile! Happy Easter everyone!

I'm going out with my boots on....

I just picked up a new pair of Justin cowboy boots...When I shop for shoes/boots I go for comfort.  I wanted something that felt good on my feet and something a little crazy... I think I found them and yes they are pink! These are 3 of my most comfortable pairs of boots out of the 9 I own. I found these boots at Larry's Boots right here in Midway! Better watch out....these things will be out and about soon and who knows.... you may want a pair too!

I think his tractor's sexy!

Well just as I said before... when the weather is nice my hubby feels the need to get out all of his toys and act just like a kid in a sand box! This little John Deere isn't much but it's his and I can't help but sing "She thinks my tractor's sexy" when I see him on his tractor! He was fertilizing the yard (what country folks call their lawn) and putting out some more grass seed while the gettin' is good! With the temps reaching near 90 degrees you can't help to get on the tractor and feel the wind in your hair.... think I just may take me a little tractor ride later :)
