A&M, Florida and Nebraska COLT

Welp...I definitely have some updating I need to get done here.

T-E-X-A-S
First things first: We spent the first couple weeks of May in the state of Texas at College Station. Home of the Texas A&M Aggies! We spent our time there preparing for and presenting NLCSO (National Leadership Conference for State Officers) with some students down there as sort of a "dress rehearsal".
I decided that I must be a real Ag Nerd, because as I was flying I found myself taking pictures of clouds and fields. Quite the view from above...don't you think?

Look at those perfect circles. I thought it was pretty cool!

Clouds pretty much fascinate me. It's like flying through cotton fields with just cotton balls. So cool!!

F-L-O-R-I-D-A
Following that, I spent some time in the great state of Florida with none other than Brady Revels! I have a few pictures that I took down there, but the most exciting were those of the alligators.

Yikes! Scary, but cool!

Brady took me to the beach, we floated down a clear, spring fed river, and I even got to tour his alma mater, the University of Florida. (Brady would insert "Go Gators" here, but I'm not going to.)

N-E-B-R-A-S-K-A
Following my trip to Florida I took a jaunt up to the state of Nebraska for COLT camp. To say the least, this was an incredible trip! I really enjoyed meeting all the state officers and hanging out with the members. The FFA camp is quite impressive, and all of us really had a JOURNEY that week.

These were my buddies playing "big booty". We also learned the salt and ketchup dance. What fun it was!

Speaking of dancing...the dance even featured the CUPID SHUFFLE. It was so exciting and fun. Its been stuck in my head since then...yep...its true!


Lauren didn't like that my shirt said Colorado on it...

So she fixed it. I can't believe it!

I don't know how this happened, but it rained about 50 inches while we were there. It definitely made for an interesting flash light relay (you'll have to ask Nebraska folks about it).

They break up into teams, and have the craziest relay I have ever seen. With the mud and such, everyone was a little antsy and by the end of the relay all that was left of the flash lights was a few batteries and some lenses. We had a blast!!

Signing off,
