So I'm really going out a limb here...admitting to something that I'm pretty sure NO ONE knows about me. Not even Wayne or my Mom. I LOVE GEORGE STRAIT. There it is, I got it out. Why is this so hard for her to admit you may ask? Well I'm not one to brag about being a country girl from the sticks. When I was a kid I always wished I lived somewhere a little bigger. Now looking back I would never change growing up in Neola (yes that is a town..approx 800 people), it will always be home, but I just never really got into the whole country girl gig my madre wanted for me. I was too scared of horses to be a cow girl and working on a farm just was not fun at all. I swore I would never marry a cowboy...and that I didn't.
But don't worry, my mom is trying to make him one. She has provided him with a Cowboy hat, cowboy jeans, a cowboy belt, a big ole belt buckle (that he wears pretty much every day), bonified cowboy boots and last but not least - horse riding lessons that he was bucked off the horse while my mom was leading it around in a circle on a rope. That was his favorite part, she told him not to tell me because I would never let him ride again, but I figure its not any more dangerous than the things he does on the snowboard, wakeboard and skateboard. Anyway he does make a pretty cute cowboy, I'm just glad he's not really one and I don't have to take care of a farm and animals! If you could only see the cowboy strut I taught him...its pretty hilarious if I do say so myself.
So back to George Strait, he was just honored with Country Artist of the Decade and I'm watching a two hour special right now on CBS. I've just always loved his music, I remember listening to it with my Grandma Leavitt when I was young. So there's the one thing I will admit about being just a little bit of a country girl...deep deep down inside. You go George, you're the Man!

Good thing you got that off your chest :) Love it!
I'll confess too, I love George.There are some older songs of him that bring back some memories... but I'm not going to discuss any of that LOL....
Speaking of my brother as a cowboy, he did look cute the other night in all his cowboy "stuff". I mean that in a sisterly, brotherly kind of way!!! By the way, thanks for coming to our house. It was fun to chat for a few minutes.
That's funny you say that because I remember talking to Grandma Levitt once about George Strait. She told me that she met him once and that he was so polite and nice that when she introduced herself he very politely and sincerely sat down and talked to her for several minutes just to talk. She said he was one of the nicest gentlemen she'd ever met. Maybe I got the story mixed up but that what I remember about her...and consequently him.
Also, he has a beautiful ranch down in south Texas that we used to fly over in low levels just for fun.

No shame about it. I double <3 <3 George.
And I'm so glad I'm not the only one in our family that is scared of horses!!
Hi there, Heather sent me here on a mission. I live in Utah also, I have a 3 year old son (although he's the size of a 9 month old) who has down syndrome and AV canal defect. He spent 17 weeks in the hospital on the ventilator, fighting to live, he also suffered a hypoxic brain injury that has left him with siezures and about a one month old level in development. Dr. Hawkins was our surgeon and Jax is facing another heart surgery and now we have no surgeon, and the other surgeons won't fix this problem, so we are looking at traveling all the way to Boston for surgery. Ask me anything you need to, I would love to talk. Where do you live? My email is laceyrugg@hotmail.com and our blog is jaxsonsfight.blogspot.com
Looking forward to meeting you, oh and I used to work at PCMC, but quite do to Jaxsons needs. Lacey and Jax
