Ddee departs for Denver

June 2, 2010

Later today I will head to Oklahoma City to board an airplane bound for Denver where I will begin the first leg of the eight day trip (ten days including travel) for the Young Cattlemens Conference (YCC). While I am both honored and excited to be one of the 55 people chosen for this trip I also feel a little sadness in my heart. While I am away I will be missing a rodeo camp for my youngest two, Joe, 12 and Hattie, 7. Not to mention a couple of coach pitch baseball games for Hattie and a junior bull riding for Joe. I will also miss seeing Melissa my 21-year-old recent college graduate who is coming home this weekend for a few days from her summer job as a camp counselor and wrangler. But I have faith that my husband Mitchell will take care of everything while I am away. Will it be done the way I would do it? No probably not but everything and “everyone” will be taken care of. The kids may be dressed funny, forget to take their vitamins and eat a lot of take out, but all will be fine.

One favor, please say a prayer for Mitchell’s stress level! See you in Denver!!
