arkansas - jonesboro and fayetteville

Bryan and I headed back to Arkansas to work at Arkansas State in Jonesboro and at the Arkansas vs. South Carolina game in Fayetteville. This football game is also known as the Hogs vs. Cocks game - gross, right?

Bryan and I were in Fayetteville last month, so we used this week to just veg out, regroup and relax. We literally did nothing worth mentioning, unless you consider trips to Walmart, Lowes and the grocery store exciting. It was really nice to spend an entire week eating Lean Cuinsine's and rotisserie chickens in our hotel room!

Pulling into our event space at a very dark 7:00am, we randomly spied our buddy, Grant, setting up his for event. Although we all travel like crazy and there are a bazillion events across this country, our industry is small and every once in a while we run into each other at an event. Grant's a great guy, so it was fun to get to spend a working day with him!


We have driven about 15 hours through the state of Arkansas this month. Between the rolling hills, changing leaves and many ponds and rivers, the entire states topography is beautiful this time of year!



Arkansas is one of those states that if someone dropped me in it, without me knowing where I was, I would never guess I was in Arkansas -- the countryside is just perfect!

hog heaven

Arkansas was just one of those weeks.
We reach this point on every one of our tours.
Everything one of us said got on the others very last nerve.
We were both irritable, cranky and just plain annoyed by each other.
Space was needed, but impossible to get.

We were The Bickersons.

Luckily for us, the adorable hotel that we stayed at served wine and cheese nightly.
Free wine and cheese, emphasis on the free wine!
Just what the doctor ordered to snap us back into our regular selves!


We got out to Dickson St., had lunch at the local brewery, worked on the Razorbacks campus and witnessed some powerful thunderstorms.
Oh Fayetteville, you were memorable...
