Does it sometimes feel like you just quite can't keep up with your tight schedule? Your things-to-do list is adding length by the minute? Your homework is bogging you down? You have Thanksgiving Fever? That was me last week, and I responded by completely ignoring this blog. As guilty as I should feel, it was really, really good to take a break and enjoy a relaxing week with friends and family.
Here are a few pictures and highlights and my long weekend...

My parents, Dave and Peggy, and I pose for a picture! I love you Mom and Dad!

Here is me with Travis. He came to visit from Colorado.

Sisterly Love! Courtney and Kaley both want to be Beef Ambassadors someday!

My family and I worked on the show calves over the weekend! Gotta love those Limousin!
Aside from spending time with family and friends, Thanksgiving is a time to reflect upon the good things in your life. This week reminded me to be thankful for all of the wonderful people that have touched my life and made me who I am today. It reminded me to count my many blessings and to truly appreciate my roots in agriculture that shaped me into a person my family can be proud of.
I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving weekend. Count your blessings, and thank God for all of His many gifts! :) I look forward to another week of discussing hot issues in agriculture with all of you. Warm up those fingers, and get ready to type up some dialogue. This week promises to stir up some heated issues. Stay tuned!
