Cowboy's Stadium

The Burks Clan came to spend the weekend with us at the end of July. We visited Cowboy's stadium before the Rangers' game Friday night. Work L to R from the top:

1. A view from the mid level deck endzone.

2. The view of the ball park from that same level.

3. Ashley and I in the press box working on our announcing skills.

4. Another view from the mid level deck.

5. A box. Very nice.

6. Michael and I.

7. Mom and Dad.

8. Ashley and I cheering from our comfie seats in a box.

9. A view from one of the lounges that are field level. (Those rolls are not the actual field turf. Some dude paid 15 grand to have them rolled out just to see what it would look like. To have that much money to waste...)

10. I'm showing my muscles in the locker room.

11. The biggest HD TV in the WORLD. The Jonas Brothers paid $20,000 just to play Halo and Call of Duty on it.

12. The tunnel the players will walk/run through to enter the field each game.

Pickin' Blueberries!

During our visit to MS, we were able to spend some time with Michael's family. One of his brothers, Jason, his wife, Tiffany, and their two girls, Kaylea and Clara Beth, were able to join us Saturday afternoon. Below Clara Beth is picking blueberries. I think the story was that more went into her mouth than the bucket! After all the picking, Michael and I left our bag of blueberries in the fridge when we left the next day! We did manage to remember the peaches and tomatoes though!

Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Lanny Edgar!!

We went home to attend Lanny's wedding (one of Michael's college room-mates at Plum Street). I must admit it was one of the prettiest weddings I've attended. Very low-key and relaxed but beautiful and elegant nonetheless. We were excited to meet Emily (the bride) for the first time and look forward to getting to know her over some tailgating during football season!

The best part was when a plane flew over the reception and dropped rose petals! How exciting! Only Lanny would cook up something like this! He was so excited about it! I think it was a surprise to Emily.

Here is a photo of the Plum Street crew and their significant others. The next wedding will be Kevin's next May unless someone else up and decides to get married before then!

Backwoods Mississippi

On a recent trip home for a friend's wedding, we came across this dirt road in route to the wedding. We were a little early, so we were wasting time "making the block" which is difficult in the country. I just thought this landscape was beautiful. Its part of what I miss about home. Green trees and blue skies. It doesn't get much better.
