BOOMER SOONER!!!Well...welcome to OKLAHOMA! Please don't judge Oklahoma by my blog though, as I really don't know what I'm doing. My blog isn't all blingy and pretty. I can barely upload my pictures :o It doesn't have anybody's buttons on my sidebar, nor any great music playing in the background :( Please...no one be offended...I just am not very computer savvy :( I just recently learned how to right click :o My reason for telling you all of this is that even though my blog is a bit sad and blingless...I know it would take me years to learn what you all know...and quite frankly...I would rather just read YOUR blogs :) You see, that's why I love blogging, because I can read about how Lisa...just as ordinary as I am...goes through a lot of what I do every day. Or how Kat isn't crafty like me...and that makes me feel so very good :) Oh...and how I wish I could know all about music like Jennifer P. I can also get great menu ideas and recipes from all you beautiful people...just right at my fingertips! Okay, so I ramble and am NOT a good writer...and use waaay too many....'s. I won't keep you, I know you have a busy schedule...(probably still a bit jetlagged from our trip to Hawaii yesterday!) but this is my ONE day in the spotlight to tell all of you how much you enrich my life on a daily basis...so I'm gonna use this post as a way to say thank you for making me feel like a normal person but still aspire to do better! You all truly amaze me! Sorry I didn't show you any pictures of teepees and Indians :) (We really DO NOT live in teepees here!) Oklahoma really is a GREAT place to live! You are always welcome here! And with that...I'll try to upload some pictures for ya!!!

Just stopping by from BATHW. Wow! What a great thing to post. Saying thank to the other bloggers out there. I have been to OK! And had a great time. I went to my very first rodeo. Ohh and I know that you don't really live in Teepee's hehe even though I had someone once tell me that as well when I told them I was from MN.
Here from Arkansas....so being neighbors I have been to Oklahoma several times. It is one of my favorite states. Thanks for the tour.
I think you said it all!! Your reasons to blog are mine!! I am so glad we were partnered together for the Favorite Thing Swap!! I did live in Enid - years ago. My dad was in the Air Force and we were stationed there. Anyways, I am glad today is your BATW day and my husband would make me say "Hook 'Em!" I hope I can still be your friend!
What a great twist on this day. Love it!
What a neat post--and you described why I blog too :)
Oklahoma is cool, I mean it is next to the Great State of Texas ;)
Happy BATW day!
Just popping over from MA, and I CAN. NOT. WAIT. to see how the house turns out! I love the picture in the previous post.
Congratulations on your BATW spotlight.
I am a fellow Oklahoman, but living in Georgia currently. I lived in Tulsa and Claremore, for 8 years when I was in high school. I love the area, there are 4 seasons, and I was a Sooners fan. I don't get to watch much tv, following kids and their activities around all the time, so I don't see much sports.
Congrats again.
Hugs from Georgia, Amy ;)
Don't you worry about a lack of "bling" :) This is your blog, so as long as you're the author, it's perfect :D
Meanwhile... Though I haven't been there in a long time, I was born in Oklahoma. I remember being a kid and my dad going through the house singing, "Boomer Sooners, Boomer Sooners...". That's all :)
Ditto Lauren--your blog seems to be perfectly YOU! Reading it seems like just sitting down in the kitchen for a chat, and a very fun and uplifting one at that. Everyone needs friends where "what you see is what you get"! Happy BATW Day!
Stopping by via BATW... and I have to say this- Go Huskers! :) I hope you enjoy your day in the spotlight - sorry you have to share with a Husker! :) Good ole rivals!
Visiting via BATW. YOur post is great and don't feel bad about not being computer savvy. You got it up and running and that's what counts. Keep up the great work :D
Greetings from BATW! I have been to OK more than once - it's a great place. Don't worry about being technically savvy - it's just bonus stuff.
Here from BATW.
This is my first visit here and I'm going to be back. I like your blog, it's friendly and I feel like you're sitting at my kitchen table catting away about your life ! :-)
I think you said it very well...
Boomer Sooner! Way to represent. And I'm glad that Debbie decided that football had to be done RIGHT and go with OU!
It was good to "meet" another Sooner last week, and I'm glad that you got featured this week!
Congrats on BATW!!!
I took a peek at your sneak peek at the house....It's going to be GORGEOUS!
As for blog bling - don't worry about it - you've gotten farther than most by HAVING a blog! Way to go!
Thanks for letting us take a peek into your world!
THANKS FOR ALL THE LOVE EVERYONE!!! I get the goosebumps just reading everybody's comments! Thank you Debbie for having such a great mind to organize it all :) I promise I will visit each one of you...but I have to pick up family from the airport and then get ready for family portraits tonight! Thanks so much for all your sweet comments....you are MAKING my day!
Howdy! Thanks for the BATW tour of Oklahoma! I've never been there (I've just flown over the midwest, sadly, and haven't yet driven through it) but one of these years, I'm going to rent an RV and take Hubby and Kiddo on a vacation across the country! Toby Keith's from OK, right? Just one other reason to stop by! :)
Cheers!
Stopping over from Utah. I was sad to leave Hawaii but this is a great stop too.
Welcome to the blog world. It is really great to get to know so many amazing people out there that are real and down to earth and dealing with the same things everyday with amazing grace. Loved your post.
Are you building a castle? All those arches, WOW!!! It looked incredible.
Happy BATW. Thanks for the tour. When I started out blogging, I had no idea what I was doing too. As you go on, you'll get the hang of it. No worries. I love the picture of your home. It looks like it will be beautiful.
Greetings from Wisconsin! Congratulations on your BATW feature. I hope you are enjoying your day in the sun.
If you are interested in recipes, gardening, homekeeping or entertaing, come visit me at my blog. I love people who love to read:-)
I think your blog is great just the way it is! Thanks for the tour!!
you are so cute. I think this was one of the best posts ever, just you plan and simple. I loved it. Great work.
Girl I have felt blogger deficient too and started to get a complex after seeing all the beautiful blogs out there, but I 'm kind of over it now. It is what it is. I love yours. I love the picture you posted of your new house in the post below. The architecture is stunning. Great job. My good friend is from OK and she just moved to Denver. A lot people think that Ok is just cowboys and indians. I live in Texas so we mingle with lots of Oklahoma folks. They aren't cowboys or indians usually oil industry folks.
Love, Joy in Texas via BATW
Hello from Colorado! (Although originally from Big Red country! LOL)
Stopping by from BATW. You did a great job! Can't believe I haven't been to your blog before. I am definitely going to bookmark now!
What a great post. You have a wonderful blog.
Happy BATW day!! Hope you are enjoying it! Don't worry about all the bling. Your blog looks great.
I love simple and short posts and uncomplicated blogs without all the bling. I get really intimdated when there are 30 - 50 comments....
I´m glad to have met you and hope you come to visit my place sometime in the future!
Will be back!
I've been to OK once. It was fun. We went to someplace called Abuelo's and had an insanely delicious chocolate flan. SO YUM. That alone would make me come back. And then it snowed. Brrrr! I don't do cold. At all. But I had a blast. Thanks for hosting. Your post was very sweet. It too is why I started blogging. And now I'm hooked. Don't worry about being computer savvy, you can pick up a few things here and there. ;)
I love this post. Very much. Staci, you are such a sweetie. And I surely hope that you don't think you need a fancy blog with bling and pictures to have someone want to come and "hear" what you have to say. Because coming here is not the same as READING other blogs. Because I can hear YOU in your words. And you never fail to put a smile on my face. Never. Enjoy your day in the sun!!
Happy BATW day! I enjoyed visiting with you and look forward to seeing you around!
BATW? I have never heard of it!!
Yes, i'm always two steps behind!! haha!
Hope the pictures go well tonight:)
l,

( i'd love to visit Oklahoma! )
What a sweet post! I love blogging too and appreciate all the encouragement and inspiration I've found here. It is great to go through the day with a community of women who love faith, family and friendship just like me!
Hi from Louisiana! Great post!! I hope you have a great BATW day!
Aloha..
What a beautiful heart you have, it made my heart smile just reading this post. I'm not a seasoned writer and really bad with editing lol, but I'm like you..I write from the heart and just hope those who read it will read it from there heart as well.
You have a beautiful family, and I will be back to read more. I started blogging in April 2007 and have learned alot from the gals that I have met along my blogging journey, and so will you. Thank you for having us over for your tour, I have been blessed meeting a new friend.
Blessings Lorie
Hi from South Dakota! Stopping in from BATW.
Have a great day!
I'm a Mizzou gal myself, but that's no reason we can't be Bloggy Friends! Do you think the Sooners will be Mizzou's undoing again this season? Thanks so much for the BATW tour...Debbie's a great gal, isn't she?
Congrats on your BATW feature! No apologies on the blogging... all of us bloggers had to start somewhere and take time before we figured the buttons out. :) Visiting from L.A.
Congrats on your BATW spotlight. You have a great blog - even if you are just starting out. Thanks for the tour.
My college roommate was from Duncan, Oklahoma. She loved it there. Thanks for the tour of Oklahoma!
Stopping by from BATHW. I am like you love to read other blogs. Getting to know all these great people is wonderful.
What a great post!
I really don't think your blog needs to have the flashing lights of Vegas on it to be interesting. It's all about content, and that is something YOU definitely have. :)
Stopping over from BATW... sorry I am a little late!
Hope you enjoyed your feature day. Thanks for having all of us over!
Yay Stacie :)! You know I love you and your blog JUST THE WAY YOU ARE! Never change :)!!!
I can't believe I called you Stacie Stacy :)
I love your writing! And who needs bling? I didn't think you lived in teepees. Nope, but I thought everyone went around breaking out in song: O K L A H O M A ...I love that movie. BAHAHAHAHAHAHA
YAY Amy!!!! You Rocked the BATW
why do i always call you AMY I friggin meant STACY! geesh I am so sorry!
I'm stopping by late from BATW. I'm an Oklahoma native, but living in Louisiana. Not a Sooner fan though, my husband is. I went to Oklahoma State. :)
Hello from BATW, a little late but I finally made it.
The family picture is adorable and the boys are just too cute!
I'm a day late, but greetings from California!
Isn't blogging great? I love all the new things I learn and the inspiration I am able to get from so many wonderful ladies!
Thanks for stopping by! Glad to share the spotlight with you! I can't believe (or keep up with) all the comment love! Good luck to you Sooners as well! I wish we still played you guys every year!! It was always such a good match up!
Awww, that was so sweet of you to talk about all your favorite bloggers and what they contribute. I love it! And yes, I'm ummm jetlagged; that's why I'm so late to the party!
congrats on BATW! :D
illahee
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I am sure you as had as much fun as I did on your BATW day. Take care.
Your blog looks great! No need for anything fancy as long as the meat of it (the writing) grabs you. And it does. I just went back several posts, and I love your writing style!
Thanks for the compliment on my wedding pic! Yes, even though you are a Sooner fan, I think I can still be friends with you. :) Seriously though, one of my best friends went to OU and I don't hold it against her.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
well - despite what you may think, I think your blog is cute. And I love the previous days pic of the house, btw. Thanks for stopping over at my place on your layover from BATW!!!
I saw your name on someones comments..and I seen that you were from Oklahoma. I always love to say Hi to a fellow Oklahoman. I totally agree with you.. It's a great place to live.. and I love to see that you are raising your children right lol.. Your raising them as SOONER FANS! Whoo Hoo!
Hey there..I'm so sorry I missed your BATW day! I have been trying to figure out how to balance everything else with work....it's tough!!! Anyway, I'm just now catching up...and wanted to say hi. You always crack me up. Love your post.
Just want to say what a great blog you got here!
I've been around for quite a lot of time, but finally decided to show my appreciation of your work!
Thumbs up, and keep it going!
Cheers
Christian, watch south park online
