This weekend Laura, Haley and I went down to Starkville for the Alumni Association Leadership Conference.  The Memphis Maroon Club took home an Honors Chapter award.  I was informed this weekend that we had the third largest chapter.  Ahead of us are the Central Mississippi Chapter and the Oktibbeha County Chapter.  So, all in all, we’re doing great.

While we were in Starkville, we got to hang out with Jason and Kathleen.  We stayed with Kathleen on Friday night.  I had a blast staying up late and talking with them.  It made Saturday morning come REALLY early, though.  After the conference, we had a chance to go to the game with my parents, which was a real treat.  State was down by 15 at half time and I thought we may actually be leaving the game early to go grab dinner.  But, the Dogs came back strong.  We ended up winning handily.

On the way back home, we stopped in Tupelo and got to visit with my Papaw Ben for about an hour.  But, not before we had a tire blowout.  I know we are lucky we didn’t have a wreck, but man, that tire changing is a pain.  Why in the world do all cars come with such a puny jack?  We were digging around in the car looking for books to put under the jack so we could get the car high enough to get the old shredded tire off.  We made it home fine, but tired.

Laura and Haley are in St. Louis for part of this week.  The will be coming home Wednesday, so I’m just “bachelloring” it.  Not sure what I’m going to do over the next couple of days.  I did manage to get in some yardwork this afternoon.  the weather has been beautiful the past few days.  I hope it holds out!
