A BIRTHDAY wish to my.......

GODSON.......my amazing 24 year old Godson. HOW did you get to be 24??????????? WOW. You are such a great young man. You are so smart and talented and just a super  guy. 

We all love you and miss you so much here at "home". I hope that Texas is never really home, not that there is anything wrong with Texas, but I know how much of a Nebraska boy you are. 

You were a tremendous help to us this summer. I appreciate EVERYTHING you did to help us, uncluding a very difficult painting job at our lakehouse, but your Aunt Kristin thinks of you every time I walk in and it is perfect! 

I love you a millon times over. To infinity and beyond. A billion times squared....so me and Jessica have a our own little love you thing, Sheldon and I do too, now you have one....I love the Seth Boschen and wish you NOTHING but the most happiness in life...it was such a special day for me having my first Godson............

Slow motion....

Have you ever had one of those moments where your whole life seems to move in slow motion. Like ever second is just a tiny clip in time? That is what happened to me on the last two laps of today's NASCAR race at Loudon New Hampshire. It just seemed liked that last lap was an eternity. First, it was turn one, turn two, turn three, turn four.......when the words "Unofficial results" showed up on the screen I still couldn't believe Clint did it. Clint won Loudon for the second time in his career and the second time as the opening chase for the Sprint Cup. There is nothing that could take that moment away from Clint or so many of my Clint Bowyer fans. We have been waiting a long time and we have never lost hope....ever.......and he did it!

I am so glad I picked you as my driver Clint. Look at you in Victory Lane. You are so underrated and underappreciated, I ok with that because your fans are the best of friends........

CONGRATULATIONS driver..............

Day 260

Tonight was very good night.........my awesome, wonderful and very very special nephew Sheldon Boschen was crowned Homecoming King at my Newman Grove High School Homecoming. I am sooooooo proud of you my Sheldon.

Day 259

This was a photo from another day but I had to add it. After everything My brand new Cooper went through at HHD for me, including a hail storm and a wind storm, she survived everything. I love my new crossover, my Ford Edge is my baby, she deserved a kiss from Momma after her rough week.......Cooper you rock!

Day 257

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to Ron and I, and again another Husker Harvest Days celebration for us, and here is the cake "Ron got me" and/or Ray Becker got me......

Day 256

Husker Harvest Days again! Setting up, what a chore, a big fat chore. This was one long day, but it is done.  AMEN. Thank god for Tom, John and Kurt or Ray and I might have died......

..and the latest Helping Hand night...

Excuse me......

DAMMMMMM IT! I am getting very frustrated about being nice and polite. I really really try my best but people are just plain rude!!!! Today I am in the store. My cart in on one side of the isle way out of the way and I reach across to grab a bottle of hand soap.....out of the blue comes this guy who nearly knocks off my arm. Not one word. Not one sorry. He just had this arrogant attitude like he didn't care who he ran over. It happened to me three times in the same place....someone rude. WHAT IS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why do people now care that they run someone over. I wanted to walk up to the guy and slap him silly.

I saw this book on Amazon and I am thinking I might by 1000 copies and pass them out along the way.....

Day 217

Our little Cheerio boy.....comfortable.........relaxed and the best little dog ever!

Sunday......

musings.....on this labor day weekend I seriously thought I was going to PUKE! NICE 7th place at Atlanta.......Clint just two races out of the case for the NASCAR cup. I was soooooooooooo nervous. I prayed, I cried, I kissed the rest of the night goodbye cause I wore myself out just plain prayin. I think I might have to send Clint a bill for heartburn medication and high blood pressure pills not to mention possibly replacing a bottle of Tequila :) I am sooooooooooooooooo proud of you Clint. I am glad I picked you as my driver.....just one more race bud one more....and your in the chase.

and I even made the Helping Hand help with his good luck from Bristol. 

BRING on Richmond!!!!!!

Day 247

The Happiest Day in Nebraska of the year.....the first Nebraska Football game. I wish this photo was not blurry. This is Ron and I at Sam and Sherri's Western Kentucky vs Nebraska football game.........which our boys won BTW!!!!

The Farewell Tour...

begins for the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Big 12 Conference. It will be most challenging when we play our first Big 12 Conference School later this month.

It is kind of bittersweet for me. I was comfortable with my Big 12 Schools, but then again I remember when we were the Big 8. Gonna kind of miss watching that old Colorado game on TV while putting up my Christmas tree each year. I always enjoyed having the Huskers be part of the Big 12. I enjoyed the old rivalries and games to look forward to, like Oklahoma!

So on the morning of the beginning of our Last Season in the Big 12 I wish for one thing......for the Huskers to be the Big 12 Champs one last time!!!!!

Day 246

The last Parents night for my nephew. It is so hard to believe that he is a senior.....here he is with Mom and Dad. My awesome brother and sister-in-law. I love you all so much!!!!

The Final Countdown

Three seasons....three seasons of football have come down to this final one. The fourth season for my nephew and his senior teammates. 

It hardly seems possible that little Freshman boy has grown into a fine young man with so much talent. Where did my little guy go? I love my nieces and nephews but it is Sheldon, for some reason his final year seems...well...so final. I have so enjoyed watching him play football, play baseball, wrestle and just general be an athlete. 

Last night was the first Home game of his last season. It was parents night. I swear I felt like a 17 year old myself again sitting there in the ole Hometown bleachers......

The Newman Grove Bluejays took on the Shelby Huskies, who they were just barely suppose to beat and ended up winning 52-12. Sheldon had a great game. I was so proud of those boys, they play with alot of heart and a whole lot determination! 

Good luck to one of my favorite High School seniors ever. I hope you have a wonderful final season because you deserve it! I love you Shel! 

Ponderings of the day......

Recently, a friend asked me "Kristin...what happened to your blog"? You use to update it almost everyday. I sat there in silence for a couple of moments and said...."Gosh quite honestly.....I don't know" She then proceeded to tell me how much she enjoyed reading it, which surprised me because she didn't seem like the blog reading type to me, but on the other hand several people have mentioned that they read this thing. So without further ado (I apologize to those I tick off in advance) here is why.

I guess what kind of turned me sore on this blog posting thing was when a complete stranger somehow found my blog and posted  some crappy comments about my commentary on my NASCAR Driver Clint Bowyer. Apparently, she does not like Clint, (that's ok with me, not everyone does or will) I have no problem with that. I could give a crap less if anyone likes Clint, but I do....and so do several complete strangers who I am now proud to call my friends...all because of ONE NASCAR driver who brought us all together. That is what Clint has done for me more than anything. Being a fan has introduced me to a whole new group of people who I admire and trust. Such wonderful folks who love racing and are Clint fans as well.

When she starting shoving her driver down my throat that was it for me. Sorry, lady I don't want to be a Jr fan, there is nothing in the NASCAR rule book that says I have to cheer for Jr. I swear this is why I live in America, so I am free to cheer for whomever, whenever I want. I wasn't a Sr fan, oh lord call the authorities. I respected him. I realize and appreciate what he means to NASCAR, I get that, but why oh why do you have to hammer mine. Just cheer for Jr and let the rest of us do what we want.

I was a huge Chad Little fan, I loved Ricky Rudd, I cheered for Ward Burton. So as many have suggested, I need some kind of a 12 step Bowyer program.....my name is Kristin and I am a Clint Bowyer fan....take it or leave it you crazy nut job. Another gal did the exact same thing to be on Facebook. I haven't been able to connect the two and there probably isn't any connection. I think there are people out there who google things just to be a big pain in everyone's blog. So now that those comments have been removed and her blocked......I think I will start September off by turning a new blog leaf..........

So to my many friends, aquaintances, buddies and pals.........I am back until some idiot decides to be a pain in the........................

So to finish off this kind of comin to the NASCAR Jesus meetin. I'll post this photo for all to ponder. THIS PHOTO IS ONE OF MY SCREEN SAVERS:

You crazy nut bag check this out.........Junior and Clint ON MY COMPUTER together. AMEN.
