Happy Graduation today to my brother-in-law, Nathan Herndon. He is graduating from Missouri State University with his MBA!!
He has been working on this degree for the past 6 years - working a full-time job and having a family at home allowed him to take only one class per semester. (He did take a couple of years off to work on building their house, but he finished!) And he's not just graduating, but graduating with honors - he has received a straight A grade in ALL of his classes! Quite an accomplishment!!
Congratulations, Nathan!!!

Don't Worry, I'm Still Here!
Hello blog world! Have you wondered where I've been? I could blame my lack of blog posts by saying "I've just been too busy" but quite honestly that is not the case! I just haven't been in the mood to write lately. I have several items to blog about but am having trouble getting my fingers motivated to do the typing.
Ross and I have had a fun and eventful July:
-Lots of good pool time at mom and dad's
-Road trip to Pennsylvania for a wedding
-Packing for our move
-Closing on our new house on July 21
-Moving into our new house on July 23
-Cody's birthday party on July 24 (He turned 6 on July 27.)
I hope to give some of these events their due "air time" so to say, by posting about them individually...we will see how that goes!
In the meantime, stay cool!
Mrs. Ross Wiseman :)

Dessert Picnic
Last Friday night Ross took me to dinner at the Olive Garden (one of my favs) and then to the park where we got engaged for a Dessert Picnic!
We walked around the park trying to find a shaded place to sit and ended up very close to the spot we actually got engaged at. (Much to our dismay, the bench we sat at when Ross proposed has been removed.) Ross brought our picnic basket packed with sparkling grape juice, champagne glasses and "wedding cake" left over from mom and dad's anniversary celebration last weekend. We had a fun time eating, drinking and taking pictures. Ross is so good to take pictures with me!
He also presented me with a rose during our picnic. We both like to watch the Bachelor and Bachelorette TV shows so Ross thought it would be funny to present me with a rose, letting me know I made it to the next round. We had a good laugh about that!
Halfway through our picnic we almost got attacked by the ducks that roam around the park we were at. All of a sudden about 10 ducks came up and just started begging for food. We didn't have anything left to feed them so tried to shoo them away. It was quite funny watching them, especially the few who had somewhat of a mowhawk!
We had a very nice evening together and the weather was absolutely perfect.

July Already?!
I can't believe it's already July! That means the year is already halfway over and we are beginning the third quarter. Time certainly does fly.
Overall I've had a very good first half of 2010! So many changes - buying a new car, getting married, moving into Ross' house, putting a contract on a new house - wow! I'm looking forward to the second part of 2010 and settling even more into married life.
July will be busy for us. We will be traveling to Pennsylvania July 15-18 for a wedding and then closing on our new house July 21. We'll spend that weekend moving and getting our house in order. July 27 is Cody's 6th birthday and July 30 is Nathan's graduation from MSU graduate school. I know we'll fit in a few trips to mom and dad's pool and hopefully the lake during the month, too. But right now I need to focus on packing for our move.
Happy July!
