Thanksgiving at the ranch

We spent this past weekend at Otey’s parents house celebrating an early Thanksgiving.  We will be in Indiana on Thursday, so it was good to spend a couple of days hanging out with his family in southern Missouri… eating… and eating… and eating.  Did I mention we did a lot of eating?  Well, the grown-ups...

“What’s in a name?”

I just titled a blog post with a Shakespeare quote.  Does that make up for the bad grammar, cruddy punctuation, and REALLY bad spelling I am about to use multiple times in this post?  Anyway…
I’m not exactly sure how I came up with the name Cooper.  I just liked it.  We had it narrowed down...

Thursday morning was different. It was official.
We loved each other.
We both knew it.
We both said it.
We went out for breakfast after Otey got back from doing chores...

Do you twitter?
I have simply toyed with twitter until very recently when I committed to get on it.  To be Twitterific… Twittertastic… Twittertacular… that is my goal.
My good friend The Holly Lane has got this twitter thing down to an art.   Recently she blogged about one of her twitter habbits that I am now going...

It was now Sunday afternoon and I was back in Terre Haute for a few days, and Otey was in Missouri.   That long drive from Tifton to Nashville had just added another layer to my feelings for Otey.  I was...

I woke up the next morning on cloud nine.  Before I even opened my eyes I smiled knowing that it wasn’t a dream.    I FINALLY had confessed my feelings to Otey, and he didn’t say… “uh… no thanks.”
He said he liked me.
He said...

Yes… I really did say “Kathy McCloy” out loud. I knew it was going to be my name. I knew when I crawled in to bed that morning that I was meant to be with Otey McCloy. I laid there in bed with all kinds...

I arrived home to Indiana and quickly left on a ten day trip to the beach with my parents.  It was a wonderful trip.  I did absolutely nothing the entire time we were there but lay on the beach and jog (I actually liked jogging then… what...

 The week before that first spring rodeo in Mississippi I decided that Otey was going to get to know me better.  I decided if we could just talk about some non-business stuff, he would fall head over heals for me just as I had fallen for him.  When he...
