The Adventures Continue

What a busy, fun summer it has been thus far, and with only a month left until school starts, the end is proving to be just as full as the beginning. Stella and I are now fully settled and a majority of the decorating is complete. I have decided that this weather in Oklahoma is for the birds! I can't remember a day when is was cooler than 100. I mean honestly. However, I have come to the conclusion that as a reward to the people of Sillwater for not leaving completely during the summer months, the city hostsKrazy Days, a 3 day shopping adventure. Ok, I;m sure it's just to bring out the crazy shoppers like me. But, I am determined to behave myself.

I guess I shouldn't complain because despite the heat, the humidity hasn't been too off the chart. After checking the weather in New Orleans, I am sad to say it's going to be in the 90s with 94% humidity. This is not fun, I mean talk about sticky! Despite the weather, I am totally excited about Ag Media Summit. Meeting new people, catching up with old friends and networking will combat the weather nicely, I'm sure. 

Then, it only two and half weeks until Ryan and I go to Denver on vacay and school starts. I never thought I'd be excited for school, but if it means we finally live in the same town after 4.5 years, I'm game.  Looking forward to the next month, event the lawn mowers races at the end of the month! Updates on the conference and travels soon.

Until next time- KK

Colorado and Stella's New Digs

After signing my lease and two hours of painting, I left Okieville for the mountains of Colorado. However, I did make a brief pit stop at Ryan's to find out he got sheep fungus under his beard.  I told him the beard was a bad idea.  I mean, we aren't Brian Wilson now. Anways, After the 12 hour drive, parts of which were on the side of a cliff, I was happy to reach Pagosa Springs. So was my family, one because they were hungry and two because my mother was worried because she couldn't find my location on a map. Yes, she would chip me like a dog if I'd let her. Anyways, after two early mornings and lots of fishing,  I am happy to announce I won the fishing contest with 13 fish including blue gill, perch, trout and a bass.

Then, my family decided to drive to Oklahoma to help me move, a choice I am very much appreciative of. However, following dad back proved challenging. We drove all day and unpacked until 11:30 pm, then got up at 6 and unpacked some more. One thing my family did decide was that I have too much stuff and that they have a much more realistic idea of Oklahoma weather. I am happy to say  I returned my old apartment keys today and Stella is very happy in her new house. She was a little nervous to say the least.

After catching up wit h the bestie over the weekend, it's back to work for 2.5 weeks. I was also enlightened today about an event called Krazy Dayz, which is a town-wide side walk sale. Retails stores all over town have huge sales. So far certainly the highlight to staying here over the summer. Maybe that's how they reward people for not deserting over the summer... haha. Then, it's off to New Orleans for some Ag Comm fun and learning. Looking forward to more officer bonding and networking.

The weeks ahead are looking promising.
