It's FINALLY over!!!

ORIENTATION IS FINISHED...well at least until August but that one doesn't ever seem to count anyway since there are no classes for anyone! 15 days straight of orientation sure makes it go by but I don't think I could have made it one more day. :-)

Today is Monday and we are off to a busy start! Our secretary is out for the week so that means some quality time with the front desk!! This morning it's me up front and half of the freshman class for our football team just walked in! They are getting advised for some classes that are starting today. :-D

The rest of this week should be super fun for me. I am going to get to go to my class for a change. I will get to hear two presentation on diversity counseling and then on the last day we have a cultural pot luck. I am bringing cornbread because no matter what the meal was they always had corn bread. As a matter of fact when the dogs ran out of dog food they got to eat cornbread too! Now the big deal is that I have never made cornbread! I will make it on Wednesday night so that I can make it again if I need too...and chances are I might!

Because the 4th of July falls on Friday this week we will get a wonderful 3 day weekend and I am going to go to the beautiful town of Brinkley to see my family. I will be highlighting Mom's hair and practicing a song with my Dad for my cousin's wedding. :-) Fun filled times in the Delta.

Well better get back to work...

Glad you're having fun!

The slide show is pretty cool.
I don't know how pictures with that much back light came out so well.
I am glad Wal-Mart opened up the concerts to the public so more people could go.
But I think you could have gotten in with your discount card
since I am an associate, if it had been associates only.
I am surprised they did not have Journey perform since they
have an exclusive Journey CD/DVD that was released just the next week.
But then again, I would have bee upset to miss that.
Lots of dust storms here again.
The last one lasted for about 3 days, took a day off and then hit for another day and a half.
The fish don't want to bite during a dust storm! ;o)
Oh well, I guess I HAVE to work some of the time.

WAL-MART Rocks!!




Last night was the first real night of the Wal-Mart shareholders concert series and this year they are all open to the public. :-) Here are some of the wonderful picutres that courtney was able to take while we were there!
WE are going to go see Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban on Thusrday too so that should be lots of fun.

YEA Wal-Mart!! :-D

I hope you didn't wear those vests the whole cruise

As usual, the pics are great.
The one of you at the railing is another example of how beautiful you are
and how you were made for a camera.
I HAVE to hear some stories about the Arkansans your were "fortunate" enough to meet.
Idon't think I could have kept a straight face when the teeth came out.
IF you ever feel like "cruising" again, we will do it at a time when there won't be
high school grads everywhere, or else we will go to Alaska or someplace they won't be.
While your were busy not winning anything at slots or bingo,
I actually joined a couple of poker games here,
Broke even one night and doubled my money the other night.
And each game saw me play for 5 hours!
I definitely think I got their money's worth. ;o)
Things are really getting busy for us here, so I have been putting in a few long days.
I got an "off day" for the first time in 3 weeks the other day...
I had to work for 3 hours and by the time I could go fishing,
my 2 favorite spots were taken and the fish had already stopped biting.
Needless to say, no new fishing pics.
I hope you have fun digging for rocks with my Mom and little bro!

I love you x 1,000,000
