A Week in the Midwest

This past week I made a trip back to the Midwest for a week full of learning and professional development, catching up with friends, fun and work. Other than the fact that there wasn't much relaxing, I'd say that it was a pretty well-rounded (and very full!) trip. AFA Alliance Forum If you know me… Continue reading A Week in the Midwest

{2017} Kansas Wheat Harvest

"Agriculture is our wisest pursuit, because it will in the end contribute most to real wealth, good morals, and happiness." -Thomas Jefferson I have heard this quote many times before, but since I came across it again a few weeks ago, it has really stuck with me. Happiness, yes. Tom was certainly right about that… Continue reading {2017} Kansas Wheat Harvest

Quality of Wheat, Quality of Life.

Life man. It sure throws you some twists and turns. After an insanely busy couple of weeks, some of it expected and some it not... my goal is to get caught up on the blog with a few posts this week, because not only do I enjoy sharing my adventures with you (Hi Mom and… Continue reading Quality of Wheat, Quality of Life.

Long Weekend in Kansas

This past weekend I flew to Kansas for a long, fun-filled weekend. If I'm being honest, after having K-State season football tickets for 6 years, I just couldn't imagine NOT going to a game at all. So when I discovered I had Columbus Day off (Thank you Christopher!) and found reasonably priced airline tickets, I decided… Continue reading Long Weekend in Kansas

Throwback: Two Weddings and…Two Weeks

With wedding season officially in full swing I couldn't help but reminisce about last year's season. On this very day last year I was on my way down to Southeast Kansas to kick off two of my busiest weeks, ever! I was honored to stand by two of my best friends, Kyla and Leah in their weddings...which happened… Continue reading Throwback: Two Weddings and…Two Weeks

Home is Where the Heart Is

I've been somewhat lazy this week when it came to writing about my recent trip to Kansas, but I was struggling with coming up with something to say other than that it was fabulous and then recounting all of the details. I mean it was fabulous. The weekends/vacation time was stuffed full with my favorite… Continue reading Home is Where the Heart Is

Kansas, Love Letters

A Love Letter to Manhattan, Kansas

There is one thing I remember from the second time I drove into Manhattan, Kansas. I remember quite a bit about the first time too, but at that point I was a high school senior, and even though I knew that this was where I wanted to go to college, it all seemed so surreal… Continue reading A Love Letter to Manhattan, Kansas

Kansas, Life Notes

Hail, Hail, Hail, Alma Mater.

Last fall my little sister transferred to a four-year school from her community college. As a student-athlete, she's worked really hard on her grades and even made the President's list for her GPA. {Insert SUPER PROUD sister moment here.} I laugh, because between high school and college, we completely switched roles. Once upon a time… Continue reading Hail, Hail, Hail, Alma Mater.
