DO YOU REMEMBER? THE 21ST NIGHT OF SEPTEMBER!!! I FOR SURE will remember this one!! At today's presentation for the university's new strategic plan, I was surprised with the inaugural "Living the Cowboy Code" award from President Hess. I was graciously nominated by my coworkers (who did a good job of hiding it from me!) and I can't thank them enough for all their support and encouragement.

BUT.... as exciting as this was and as honored as I feel, this was the second best thing today. Tonight at volleyball practice a couple newer girls, who haven't even played until a few weeks ago, made plays and served the ball well enough tonight that it got points for their team! Seeing them smile and seeing the progress just from the beginning of practice to the end, that's the good stuff!!

The Cowboy Code:

-We dream as big as the sky.

-Being a cowboy isn’t in our clothes, it’s in our character.

-We stand for what matters, even if we stand alone.

-We end the day knowing we gave it everything we had.

-We know challenges come with pain, but pain will not win.

-We have a passion to do what’s right, even when it’s hard.

-We finish what we start.

Earned a thing today. Big thanks to my coworkers, in my department specifically, who make coming to work each day so rewarding. Also, thank you to The Spears School of Business, which is full of such incredibly skilled people in every single department. I can't express enough gratitude for whoever nominated me for this. In a building full of truly exceptional people, it means a lot to matter to them.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. by @stillh2odad

Same day. Same beer. Same shirt.

This one goes out to Jerod Millirons and Dave Monks. Thank you for bringing 10 years of locally brewed beers to Stillwater, and good luck in your future endeavors.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Thank you to all those over the years who have stood up to ensure we've made it this far. Whether that be in military service, in elected roles, through voting, or by marching through the streets in towns and cities across the country using your voice.

Happy 250th, America 🇺🇸 by @stillh2odad

You know those stories of someone who has played a pivotal role in your story? That has been President Hess for Lydia. An organic relationship that started between waitress and customer developed into a supportive and inspiring connection between two hard workers. So, so grateful for Dr. Hess' sincere and encouraging leadership, and to his wife Angela for pouring into her also. #OkState #GoPokes @okstatepres @lydibug1304 by @stillh2odad

Always grateful to run in remembrance of the 10. Enjoyed catching up with a former 2001 player, Andre Williams. Been a minute since we've talked. I used to rent movies to him back in the day at Blockbuster! I also was pleasantly surprised to see I ran faster than last year with zero preparation. Hard to to believe this is the 20th year of the run and 25 years of committing to never forget. #RT10Run #GoPokes #OkState by @stillh2odad

Excited to have earned the distinction of being a Cowboys Care+ Ambassador! This certification represents being a recognizable mental health resource on campus, and beyond, by wearing the Cowboys Care Ambassador pin and bandana. Thank you to 1st Cowgirl Angela Hess and Dr. Jim Hess for their passion in wanting #OkState to be a healthy and happy university.
