Where Have You Been?

Everywhere might be the short answer to that question.

I was in New Mexico watching Baby Hepburn graduate from high school (and ROCK her speech!)

I think we clean up quite well.

Afterward we headed to visit Ski Trip Jerry and Dr. Kyra (they are married even though their blog names don't show that very well) where we proceeded to hang out and visit for 2 hours while the men drank Natty Light....Ski Trip Jerry's favorite.  Those two crazy folks are two of my absolute favorite people and I just love that The Boy from Texas likes them so much that he actually suggested the visit! As if I needed something else to add to the "win" column for him.

I also got to enjoy the fact that it rained!  That's right, folks, over three night we dumped a total of 3.10" out of that there rain gauge.  Answered prayers!

I also snapped this picture of these two kunckleheads...Sarge and Buttons.

Next it was off to Clayton for ND Friend and Tiny Dancer's Engagement Party.  This will be getting its very own blog....stay tuned.  It was that good.  Here's a sneak peak.

Dear professional photographer...please don't sue me!

Then I met this sweet little guy in Amarillo....Aunt Tiff is quite smitten with him!  And I had an awesome visit with his mom and grandma!

Please note I held him without any tears from either of us.

Oh, I got sworn in as an officially licensed lawyer in the State of Texas.

Taking the oath...

Me and this boy I know.

The parentals.

Then it was off to Lubbock for an Ag Law Conference.  While I was there I went for a run around the Texas Tech University campus and I have to admit, it is really quite beautiful.  Had someone shown me that when I was in high school, I really think I might have considered going there.  (And the still picked OSU because, who are we kidding here?)

Go Pokes!

After that The Boy from Texas and I headed back to New Mexico for a weekend of fun at Aunt and Uncle Evil Kineval's new lake house!  Fishing, swimming, four wheeler-riding and LOTS of eating made for an excellent weekend.

I do enjoy a boy in a large cowboy hat.

But first, let him take a selfie.
