It's the Simple Things in Life

Tonight, I had a much needed break from school, work, and just life.

I went to a hayride, minus the actual hayride. The weatherman was calling for rain and God kept sending down sprinkles every once in awhile just to keep us on our toes, so the hayride itself didn't happen. But, it was still fun!

I grew up in a small town and loved it. Unfortunately, I haven't been home since Labor Day (7 weeks ago) and won't be going home until Thanksgiving break (4 1/2 weeks). So, needless to say, I miss it and wish I was there! The 'hayride' was at our Office Professional's farm. It was so awesome just to be out of the city limits and to smell fresh air and cow poop (lol, for real...it takes me home).

The not-so-hayride consisted of:

Hotdogs
Hot Apple Cider (#6 on list of things I'm thankful for)
S'mores (#7)
3 legged race
Great conversations
A mental break


Saturday I get to see my dad!!! He and I are going to the Mizzou football game together. I love, love, love football, especially Mizzou football...too bad they haven't been doing so hot lately AND they are play Texas. Hopefully it will be a good game, but regardless, it will be nice to see my dad and spend quality time with him (#8).

The fall leaves just keep getting more vibrant and beautiful, it's awesome.

  1. Sounds like you'll have a great weekend. I hope Mizzou does well too (but that might just be because I'm here in Alabama)

  2. LOVE MJ, too & since I LOVE dance, I've always wanted to have a dance choreographed t "The Way You Make Me Feel" for me to perform for a hubby or something someday...reminds me of the movie "Center Stage"! ;P

    Glad you had fun on the not-so-hayride - sounds like a BLAST, I'm also a country gal at heart & love things like this!

    I'm envious of you going to the Mizzou-Texas game...HAVE FUN! :D
