Day 2 - Meaning behind blog name


This post is actually from yesterday, I couldn't post it from my phone after all.

Maybe I am serious about this blog thing...In order to be able to post today, I am having to do it from my blackberry in the car on our way to see some friends near Abilene, KS! This morning I got to volunteer as the "gate keeper" for KCDS (Kansas City Dressage Society). It was really fun to get to see some old friends AND my old horse Gracie. She looks amazing and even has "Team Gracie" gear! I will try and post a pic of her bag. I did not get a pic of her, so just imagine a super fit and gorgeous Friesian Sport Horse and you will be close.


Ok, on to the task at hand... The meaning behind my blog name. Do you remember Lovey and Thurston, aka "Mr. And Mrs. Howell", from the show Gilligans Island? When I was working for Custom Energy, right out of college, I met Nacona Ward and I am pretty sure that she has almost always called me Lovey. In fact, I'm not sure she knows my real name! She was the first to call me this, but I guess Chris has been called Thurston since about the 8th grade. Anyway, since this is a blog about the adventures, insights and bloopers of the Howells, primarily from Lovey's perspective, it seems fun and fitting.

Ok, I better get back to my job as Thurston's co-pilot and companion! In casy you are wondering, Avery is with us happily watching a movie a treat we save for road trips.

I didn't realize that I was the first to call you Lovey! I do know that you have a real name, but honestly, how often do you get to call someone "Loooovey Daaaahling"? Not often I assure you. :)
