Latest Fall Wreath

Here's the latest fall wreath I made...tried a new type of flowers for this one. This wreath will be donated to the Bryan/College Station Sister Cities fall raffle drawing (if you're in B/CS, visit WorldFest next weekend to purchase tickets and to see some great exhibits!)






Next up...Christmas wreaths!!

Sweet Victory.....

33-19....need I say more?! The Wrecking Crew is back! Now, let's just hope we can win out the rest of the season!

Makes me teary eyed every time!

The excitement begins!

Now forming at the north end of Kyle Field....after all these years, I still love the band!

Victory! Whoop!

Yee Haw!

This past Friday night, several friends and I had a country night on the town....including, boots, chunky jewelry, Texas BBQ, and a Miranda Lambert concert! We had the BEST time...these girls are awesome. Already looking forward to our next outing :)

Here are some pictures from the night--

4202 Oaklawn Reunion

The 4202 Oaklawn girls (minus AgBag) came in town for a much needed reunion! It was GREAT to see everyone and to catch up....like always, regardless of how much time passes between our visits, we pick up like we're still living down the halls from each other. I love these girls and am so thankful for their friendship!

Viva Italia!

Need I say more?! Italy has most definitely risen to the top of my favorite countries list! It was MAGNIFICENT! I now know why Aaron, Evans, Baggett, Gab and everyone else who has ever been to Italy is in love with the place. The sites, the food, the wine, the art, the shopping, the dramatic people…..

Even though I was there for work, I still got to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Rome and Florence and a little site-seeing, too.

I took 1459 photos while in Italy (yes, I went a little crazy). I need to cull through them, but thought I would post a few since I am horrible at uploading and sharing photos!

Enjoy!

10.10.10

As I’ve said before, Aaron and I are so fortunate to have the most amazing friends! Each year we have a “Final Run” (name of the guys’ listserv) reunion, and this year was no exception. For the past several years, we’ve met up on 7.7.07, 8.8.08, 9.9.09 and, yep, you guessed it on 10.10.10 for this year.

We all met in Austin this year for ACL on Friday (lots of Phish fans in this group) and then headed out to Lake Travis. It was an absolute blast and so much fun to meet some of the newcomers (including the Final Run babies!). We did nothing but eat, drink, play music (well, not me, but I did take my new African drum), relax, hang out and be outside. It was perfect!

I’m working on uploading photos to snapfish and will share when they’re ready.

I miss everyone already and am looking forward to 11.11.11 (Arkansas?!)!

Return to Indonesia (#15!)

For those of you who know me, you know that I LOVE Indonesia…it holds a very special place in my heart for a number of reasons. So, when I have the opportunity to travel back for work (too expensive to go otherwise), I am in heaven! In early October Ambassador Bost, Dr. Price, Joey and I traveled back to Jakarta for the Indonesia-USA Partnership: Agricultural Technology and Investment Forum that we helped to coordinate. The Forum was a great success and a fantastic opportunity to discuss ways that we can partner with Indonesia Institutions.

Here are a couple of pictures from my visit to Bogor (thanks Pur, Nuri and Lilis for the hospitality!).
