Winning Woman
I have a couple announcements, so listen closely. 1) I shot a gun, 2) I won an award shooting a gun. Yes, Yes, I am the reigning Women's champion of the SNA Skeet Shooting tournament. A couple of weeks ago we went to Atlanta to the Southern Nurseymen Association (SNA), and while we were there Adam was registered for the tournament, and someone had dropped out, so I decided to tag along. Keep in mind that this was THE FIRST time IN MY LIFE I had ever shot a gun. And I took home the plaque. Thank you to all those who have supported me through this time. To my parents, my friends, and most of all, I dedicate this win to the heavenly Father (imagine me raising the plastic to the sky). This is for the underdog.

Update post
Since some of you only read the blog and never actually talk to me, call me, or e-mail me, I was reminded that perhaps I will just update you on life. WARNING: This is going to be a boring post if you see me everyday, or even once a week.
OK, well, still don't have a job- looking hard, but nothing substantive has really surfaced. It's a pretty frustrating process for oh so many reasons, one of which is that there is a loan check due for the Masters degree that I earned, which I can't afford to pay, because no one will hire me, despite having multiple degrees. Do you see irony here.
Adam and I traveled for the past three weeks- We went to TN- him traveling for work, and me just watching, and then I went to Arkansas, where my sister and all her children were there. It was so amazing to be with all of them. I long for the time when my whole family can be together at one time. You would think that someone would have to get married for coordination like that. By George, just maybe it will happen. Then last week we were in Atlanta. Lots of fun things happened of which here is my top ten: (number one is reserved for a blog that has to be accompanied by video, but stay tuned)
10. Not thinking about or talking about where I'm going to work
9. Not thinking about or talking about Wedding things
8. They have the most comfortable beds at Marriott. I finally slept through the night
7. Getting to meet all the people who work in Adam's company
6. Great Veal, on Adam's company
5. Meeting a man named Charlie- who wore a bowtie, and prayed for me and Adam right after talking with us
4. Good wine, again, on the company
3. Going to the Georgia Aquarium. Truly amazing. Again, pictures to follow
2. Seeing Katie, and knowing that she is safely home from Israel, and Katie and Adam meeting
