Back in the Sioux

After a great weekend at home with my Fort Worth friends, I am back in the land of the Sioux. (*tear*) I had a wonderful time seeing all of my old pals and eating at my favorite hometown places (Joe T's HOLLA!). So thank you friends for making my trip home fun! Can't wait til I see you all again (soon I hope!!!)

Sittin' In The Sunshine

As I sit here in my office on a glorious Wednesday afternoon, I am amazed at how rapid the weather here in Texas can change. Less than 12 hours ago we were watching intense lightning, dime-size hail, pounding rains and howling winds come through.  And now, it's 65 degrees and beautiful outside. No clouds in the sky and the wind is perfect. How much better does life get?

....as we begin this journey of a "shared blog"....may there be far more sunny days than stormy days!

Livin la Vida Siouxland

Nearly 15 months ago, I packed up all of my belongings and headed north to the Midwest for my first on-air TV job. Leaving my beloved friends, family and home state of Texas, I have come to experience a lot of new things in Siouxland. From unusually vocabulary ("pop" not "Coke," "crick" not "creek," etc.), to friendly farmers, to months of wicked winter weather, it has been an adventure to say the least. But now that I'm nearly halfway through my contract, my days here are numbered (450 days left to go?!). Was it worth leaving cowboys for corn? Frogs for farmers? Sun for snow? Depends on when you ask me. So while I'm stuck up here in Siouxland, let's keep in touch via blog. It's all the rage right now, so just do it!
