Zicam

Germy little stinkers... yes, I love them, but I will blame them. As a first year teacher, I would like to make a personal appeal to all parents if I may. Please, would you mind bathing your child in hand sanitizer before you send them to us? I feel like I've had a cold for about 3 months now. I just bought Zicam (I am very hard headed about taking medicine... drives the hubs CRAZY) I really hope it works. I feel like a little weakling with a Rudolph nose and a delicate disposition-- which I most certainly (usually) do not have.

This pic was posted by my good friend Brittany on facebook and it makes this sickly girl smile. Oh yes, I had the cold here too... but colds in the mountains (this was on our ski trip)  were more fun. : )

I started a great tune today. Hope to get it finished tomorrow.

Much love and aloe vera tissue,

Red River

Just had the best trip ever! We went skiing in Red River, NM, with our pals Dusty and Brittany! The weather was phenomenal, the cabin we stayed in was right on the Red River and just a quick walk to the ski lift. Here's some pics...

The best part of the trip though... and the real reason we were there...

Yup, Dusty popped the big question as we were all coming down one of the runs. He had it all planned out. Will was snow boarding for the first time so we had to wait for him to come down at the bottom. (Snow boarding his very hard at first. Will was a very good sport... most of the time.) So Dusty has Brit pull out a map to figure out where we want to go next, but what she doesn't know is that there is a poem Dusty has written inside the map and while she's got this huge map spread out in front of her face, Dusty has plopped down on one knee. By then Will is there and I've got the camera ready. She reads the poem puts the map down sees Dusty and well, you know the rust. Can you believe the  view? I was taking pictures the whole time so she wasn't suspicious. Got some good ones too! What a way to start off your life together. It's all downhill from there I guess. : ) 

This was our cabin, the first one... we were on the bottom! Beautiful right?

Now it's back to beautiful Oklahoma. The weather is gorgeous here right now! It's supposed to snow this weekend, but I'm going to go out and try to enjoy it while I can! Working on some new tunes... think I'll write outside today!

Thanks for keeping up! You guys are the best.

Just got back from Red River! Ah, Beautiful!

The Avett Brothers

Hi there!

Will and I just got back from seeing the Avett Brothers in OKC with my brother-in-law Wade and sister-in-law Bri. Wow. If you haven't heard their stuff check it out here. Although, I must say they sound better live-- that's really saying something because their albums are so good. Get this Dad... the only cover songs they played were Frankie Lane's "Wanted Man" and a Roger Miller tune! Enough said, right?

My Cowboys won last Saturday too! Will and I snapped a picture just as the student section stormed the floor. It was fantastic!

But alas, the roller-coaster ride continues-- tonight we lost to Texas A&M. Chin up though... can't wait for March madness! It always ends right around my birthday and it's one of the funnest times of year, in my humble opinion. : )

See you all very soon. Thanks for keeping up!

The Avett Brothers rocked in OKC tonight. I've got to get my banjo back out!
