Time flies

I just realized that June is over half-way finished and I haven't written a new post. Oops.

That's probably because not much is going on here. Scott, his dad and even his sister all pitched in and got the first cutting of hay done, hauled off and stored away. Unless it rains, that may be the only cutting we get this summer as things are really, really dry. There is rain in the forecast early next week, so we're praying for that. We also have a bunch of 1st-calf heifers that are about to calve, so hopefully everything goes well with that.

We went to my MIL's family reunion last Sunday which is always nice because these are actual in-laws and cousins that get along. No conflict or bitterness present at all. Also, I actually got to know my BIL a little bit and see him when he's relaxed and enjoying himself. I won't mention the reason why. :)

Scott's been gone 3 days this week to Washington, DC with the DFA YC group. They went to a convention to learn how to approach congressmen with pressing issues, then he got to meet Mac Thornberry and meet with staffers from Kay Bailey Hutchinson's and someone else's office. And he got to go on tours around DC and eat fancy meals. I had looked forward to going with him all year, but the date was changed at the last minute and I wasn't able to go because my boss had already taken those three days off for his daughter's wedding. I was okay with him going without me initially because someone needed to represent us and he's never been there, but then when he was gone I got super upset that I was missing out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and it's completely ruined my week. I have a few hours to get happy and morph back into the supportive wife before he gets home, and enjoy my clean house before he gets home, too. Apparently, I was single for way too long.

Other than that, we've just been working and trying to beat the heat. Daytime Hi's have been near or over 100 for the past 2 weeks which makes working outside miserable. I'm in desperate need of a vacation that is non-veterinary, non-dairy, and non-family related, so I'm going to try to arrange that before to long.
