So, I’ve been a little busy this month. First, I have a new job. I moved this week to the Development Office. My new territory is SW Arkansas and Texas. Lots to learn really quickly. I’m, already loving my new co-workers and they are quickly learning how weird and quirky I am! They’ll love me before they know it.

The great thing about this new job is that I will be out traveling and telling the Ouachita story. I’m sure that will bring some fabulous stories. I always run into very interesting things while I’m out and being on the road gives me time to think, which gives me things to write about.

The other big thing that happened recently is that my sister got her Master’s. I had such a great time while I was home. Dad and I went to the King Tut exhibit at the Dallas Art Museum while I was there and us girls went to the Main Street Festival in Grapevine. So fun. I wish we had something like that here!

Any way, enjoy the grad pics below. I’m so proud of her..some man is going to be super lucky to snatch her up and in the mean time there are some very lucky kids in Dallas who get to have her for a teacher! It makes me want to go back to elementary school PE (and she is the only thing…I don’t know, I kinda liked Jump Rope for Heart but not the mile run day!)

this is what we call the Master’s glow

now she’s in the hood!
