The one with the pictures

Considering the fact I'm still processing everything that happened this last week, I figured I'd start with pictures.

The next post will be the details :-)
Hurricane Isaac was headed our way....or so we thought. 


So we went to Publix to get a stash in case we were stuck in the hotel.


Jaryn and myself, on Sunday. Computers open. Time to work. 


Gorgeous view from a house we hosted a fundraiser at. 


One of the events we hosted was a movie screening of the new moving coming soon "Won't Back Down." Of course we had popcorn. :-)


Some of our team members


My new suit ;-)


Met Governor Chris Christie:



At one of the fundraisers we hosted, this was the decor:


Another outfit. These were going to remain private on my instagram account until I realized my instagram is not so private anymore. 


And another!


From the rafters:


The Texas delegates! 
Don't they look so great?!?!?! Made my Texas heart so happy to see these cowboy hats!




Again, another blurry picture, but yes, this is Megyn Kelly!


Me with the Texas Delegates and the Texas sign in the background :-)


Fox News broadcast right beneath my seat:


Another outfit. I know. You're tired of these. As were my coworkers. Oops.


And the last one. In other news, I wore this suit for 17 hours. YES. 17 hours. 


So proud of this woman!!!! She was FANTASTIC


Governor Bush speaks!


Karl Rove and Bill O'Reilly


Eric Cantor, Margaret Spellings, Condoleezza Rice, and Jeb Bush. Otherwise known as the 
"Oceans Eleven" of education


And......final night. JOURNEY concert. Yes INDEED!

Ten. Years.

Grew up in a small town - And when the rain would fall down - I'd just stare out my window - Dreaming of what could be - And if I'd end up happy - I would pray Trying hard to reach out - But when I tried to speak out - Felt like no one could hear me - Wanted to belong here - But something felt so wrong here - So I prayed I could break away I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly - I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky - I'll make a wish - Take a chance - Make a change - And breakaway - Out of the darkness and into the sun - But I won't forget all the ones that I love - I'll take a risk - Take a chance - Make a change - And breakaway ( Kelly Clarkson, Breakaway ) 10 years ago, this month, I graduated from Prairiland High School. (And yes, I spelled that right- according to our school, anyways.) At times I can't really wrap my mind around that particular thought...Then at other times, it feels as though it could have been 20

Saturday Morning

I have a play list on my iPod titled "Saturday Morning Cleaning." When my sisters and I were growing up, Saturday morning was spent cleaning. No questions asked. Bottom line. Purple suit and all. Oh wait. You don't know about the purple suit. I'll explain further down. We'd get to sleep in until mom and dad deemed enough, at which point they would turn on the stereo system and play praise and worship music and come wake us up. Mom or dad would have cooked us a breakfast of either pancakes, eggs, waffles, bacon, or breakfast tacos (a treat, considering M-F was normally cereal, oatmeal, etc) and on the table would be "The List" Sometimes we'd get "The List" before breakfast and sometimes after. Because, really....who wants to ruin a perfectly good breakfast with "The List." (I have to interject, even as I'm writing this...I'm just remembering how incredible my childhood was. Seriously. I had the best childhood a

Opening a Conversation

I'd like to open a conversation with you. I've read 2 articles recently that have got me thinking. And a blog is one way to open a conversation that invites response, yes? So here goes. If you leave a comment- make sure to click the button that says "email follow up responses" so you can stay part of the convo. (I know, blogspot needs to get better about this, but for now- just click the box.) Here is article number 1: http://www.relevantmagazine.com/digital-issue/53?page=66 Here is article number 2: http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2011/09/27/why-young-christians-arent-waiting-anymore/ There is a new show coming up on TLC called something like "The Virgin Diaries" or something. I have to say. I've watched the preview clips and it is mortifying and embarrassing. If I were 15 and watching- I'd say "Find me the closest guy and let's get it on!" in attempts to not let that be my story. They have made the clips downright horrifyi
