Fair Week

This week is the week of the South Plains Fair. It's usually not that big of a deal - in fact last year Adam didn't even want to go and had to be bribed with a double date with Chris and Denae. This year, however, is completely different. Our church, Generations Church, was lucky enough to get our hands on an empty corn dog booth. Although it is a lot of work for everyone involved it is a great fundraiser and keeps us from having to do other things for extra money. So, needless to say, Adam was less than thrilled to find out I had signed us up to work the booth 2 different times. Once he got in there though he has had a lot of fun. I think that this is in the fact that we've worked with our friends... but on Tuesday night we closed the booth and it was a lot of work. Adam was responsible for scrapping all the utinsils until they were ready for the next day - or so he thought. Connie has since reported that he has been the best cleaner EVER and that usually she soaks the utinsils overnight, etc. etc. Oh well! The most amazing part of this though is that Connie needed some extra people for the rest of the week, and Adam said he'd be happy to work 1 more shift! So we will be at the fair selling the best corndogs on the strip this Friday night or Saturday morning (there's a few conflicting issues left to be resolved on Sat. since it's college football all day). We hope ya'll have as fun as we will!

It's definately College Football Season

I found this on one of my cousin's friend's blog and thought that it was pretty funny... and somewhat true... enjoy:)

He did it!!

As you can tell by the title Adam made the cut!!! I'm sooo excited for him. This is his first time to actually make the cut - and a paycheck as well! So, all this being said he is really a professional golfer since he has earned money from it:) I was planning to take my camera and get some footage of both days, but unfortunately I was so nervous I completely forgot... both days. I think that I was as stressed or more stressed than he was actually. However, now that we have both made it through the first cut I anticipate many more ahead of us and I promise to get pictures of those events. If you are just dying to know his scores and all of that you can check out www.adamsgolfprotourseries.com.
Well this is all for now... we're back to life as usual. We've got a church softball game tonight and of course the Cowboys are on Monday Night Football... Just another week at the Headleys.

The begining....

So here it is... this is my journey, our journey through life - with all it's ups and downs. The next posts will reveal more of what life is like at the Headley house and will hopefully include some pictures of the events... For now I leave you hoping that you have good thoughts for Adam and his upcoming golf tournament. He will be playing in the Adams Pro Golf Tournament at Hillcrest this Thursday, Friday -and hopefully Saturday and Sunday (he plays Sat. and Sun. if he makes the cut). I know that he can definately make the cut if he plays well - pray it goes that way! My uncle Ed is going to be his caddy, so we know there will be at least one person by his side praying he makes a great shot. More updates will come later in the week.
