New York Life Executive Council Trip

We've been in Southern California for a few days now. It's been great! I was able to spend some quality time with family and friends! It was extra nice spending the day with "My Papa" on his birthday. I've been able to take Clay to the Brea Mall, Downtown Disney, and there is more to come. Tonight we will be going to Disney's California Adventure. NY Life has rented the park out for the night, so we will only have to share with ohters in the NYLIC family. Friday we will experience Disneyland together. Clay hasn't been there in 13 years, so it will be great! I've really enjoyed being here and learning more about NY Life. I'm extreamly impressed with the empasis they put on family. So, I'll fill everyone in when we get back!

Fresno State Bulldogs..

There is a new exitment in the Blanton house, it's called Fresno State Football. Last year Clay watched the games! Some games we'd have "football parties." Some were just DVR worthy, and I am sure Clay went to one or two of the games. This year it's a little different. At about 7 am I heard my husband concerned about his dress attire. For those of you who know Clay, he's not one to ever worry about what he is going to wear. However, this morning, a dark cloud hovered when he realized he no longer had a red polo shirt. How was he going to support his team?! Did you catch it was 7 am?! I don't think the team will come after him for not wearing his polo, considering we have season tickets, with 6 other couples, for all the games. We will be sitting on the 50 yard line about 20 rows back...is that not support enough! This means our schedule has been focused around Fresno States home games. It should be fun. For those of you who are not from Fresno...these games are the big highlights of the year. Everyone in Fresno seems very supportive of the school and the Athletics. Tailgating and football...should be fun
