Walk around


Last night we loaded up on the Barlow bus, with Grandma and Boppy and headed to Stillwater for Homecoming walk around.  This is always a very exciting time for me because of my intense love for my Alma mater.  What makes it even better is the fact that I get to share it with Harper.  Truth be told I am trying to cultivate a love for OSU from an early age hoping that it will carry into her teen years and eventually into her becoming a cowboy.  I think so far we have done a great job of cultivating the cult of cowboy in Harper.  Last night I was explaining to Harper that OSU is where Daddy used to go to school, I also explained to her that her mommy and many of her other relatives also attended OSU.  But when she began relating this fact to her mommy and Grandma she said very excitedly, "Mommy this is where Daddy used to go to school."  Her mommy quickly explained to Harper that she also went to school there, but Harper was having none of that.  I think eventually Harper was convinced.  Eventually we made our way to The Strip to begin walk around.  Harper spent most of the night scoping out the house decs from my shoulders and just being amazed by the crowds.  I was pleasantly surprised to run into one of my friends from school, Jason Cornwell.  I haven't seen Jason for like five years, so I was very happy to See him again and very proud to introduce Harper to him.  Overall it was a great evening spent with family in one of my favorite places in the whole world, I love being able to share such a big part of Melissa's and my past with our little angel.
