The Lemonade Award






I have not been keeping up with my blog very well lately but I received an award for this blog from Mrs. Sherry over athttp://asourceofwonder.blogspot.com/ for showing great attitude and/or gratitude! What a surprise for me and how thankful I am to her for passing this along to me. Now as a kind of "pay it forward" blogging thing, I am to pass this award along to some others that I think deserve being rewarded for showing great attitude and/or gratitude that are in this blogsphere.


So I pass the Lemondade award to

Great Weekend!

SLE Montgomery Rodeo


This past weekend was rodeo weekend. Which I always look forward to because i get to see people I don't see but once a year and I get to see family and friends and it is always a blast. We go every night. I will have to say I actually watched the rodeo more than I ever have this year and I enjoy watching the rodeo, but i also like to talk and it is usually more about socializing than entertainment to me.

Thursday night the rodeo was really good. The food was really good and it was the first night to get to see everybody. I got to see my friend Jenny and catch up with all my cousins and Alison.

Friday night I got to visit with my Aunt Marsha (hope you like the shout out:)) I could talk to her forever.

Saturday night...Wow....so never would I have thought that this group of friends would have a reunion for rodeo weekend....it could not have been more perfect. My dear friend Carolyn was definitely going with us Saturday. We were excited, definitely a good time....our great friend Laurel, who lives in Nashville, just happened to be coming in town that weekend and was free Saturday night. So random and unexpected, but AWESOME. Then we throw Searcy in there, who is so much fun, this is a true reunion of friends that always have so much fun. (Especially at Loser's in Nashville) hehe

So we had a great time. I tried to stall everyone when the rodeo was over because I knew that walking to the cars meant goodbye. But a great night and weekend I will have to say!

Here are pictures. Courtesy of La because I never have my camera. (I actually brought it that night but the batteries were dead, go figure)




This is La, C, Me, and Searcy in the room before the rodeo.






Me and Searcy after I had just downed some blue cotton candy. I finally gave in to the sugar urge and it was worth it.








Searcy posing for us










We tried to get Bradfield to pose with Searcy and put his arm on the wall, but he liked this better....whatever it is he is doing.







Awesome picture of Carolyn and Laurel. Love ya'll!

















This was quite possibly the funniest part of the night.

Searcy and I went to get some food and drinks and Searcy was getting a hot dog(with ketchup) and coke for C. We had our hands full and the ketchup was not right by us so decided to go back and tell Carolyn we didn't see any condiments...sorry. Thinking she would just deal and eat her hot dog. But of course not, she had to go back and look to find out that the ketchup was RIGHT by the concession stand, so she preceded to put her ketchup in a plastic top and somehow transfer that to her hot dog. Searcy and I had a good laugh. Sorry Carolyn, we love you.....our hands were full!

Internet Down...Got Me Down.

I wanted to share my frustrations with the Internet and explain that I have been MIA for a while. The only time I am on the computer is at work. Well last week from about Tuesday on our Internet did not work. There was a few short spurts of time when it did. During that time I was able to get a couple things done and I think publish my last post. But from Tuesday to Friday I had a total of about 30 minutes Internet time, seriously. It drove me CRAZY! I would sit at my desk and constantly check it and was repeatedly disappointed.

Well Friday at about 2:00 it started working, but of course I was stuck in a weight room with 80 kids under a tornado warning.

So I expected it would be back to normal today (Monday).....but no....this morning it was not working. I got back into my office at about 10:00 and hooray, finally, it is working. Needless to say, I am going to have a hard time getting anything done because I am dying to catch up on every one's blogs!

Hope everyone has a great Monday!
