Busy busy!

This past week has just simply flown by. I realized about 1am on Monday night/Tuesday morning that our wedding is just over two months away! While I’m SUPER excited, the anxiety also kicked in. Not about the marriage mind you – just about the wedding. So many details to attend to, and so little time [...]

Forgot to mention…

When Wes and I found this apartment we discussed (as all couples do) where to put things. We had seen two potential configurations for the living room – one put the sofa against the long wall, and the other used the sofa as a room divider leaving the wall free for an entertainment center. Wes [...]

Holiday Weekend – Parte Deux

For the rest of the Holiday weekend Wes and I have been relaxing and enjoying ourselves. Yesterday we got a late start and decided to take the bike out and explore around the area. We went about 25 or 30 miles due south to visit the Louisburg Lake and scout out kayaking opportunities. Since it [...]

Patriotic Geocaching

Wes and I decided that we wanted to geocache at least once on our 3-day holiday weekend. So we set out this morning in search of some fountains. Kansas City is actually known as the city of fountains – the only city in the world with more fountains is Rome! Now some enterprising geocacher decided [...]

Proving Kansas Isn’t Flat

The picture to the right was taken on my camera phone after I turned the wrong way today and ended up in a beautiful hilly farmland area not far from where I live. Who knew Kansas wasn’t flat and brown? In other news, I FINALLY registered my car today. I say finally because I really [...]

The latest installment in my Winnie the Pooh blanket series. Tigger is here.

The Weekend Report

This weekend was full of sun, fun in the water and family. On Friday night Wes and I headed down to my in-laws for a belated Mother’s Day weekend, and to pick up his motorcycle and kayak a little. Well ok, kayak a lot! Saturday morning we got up at 6am and headed out to [...]

Knotty News

So I’ve been doing a lot of knitting in the past few days. I have a feeling it might correspond with not working, but since I really should be doing more of the latter, I’ll just enjoy this for a bit! I managed to finish off a few projects that have been on the needles [...]

Deep thoughts for the day.

From my favorite AWAD: It is better to have loafed and lost than never to have loafed at all. -James Thurber, writer and cartoonist (1894-1961) And from the illustrious Huffington Post: And The Biggest Procrastinators Are…usually the most sophisticated, sensitive, creative and intelligent people. Nailed you, did I? Well, I assume you’re in the sophisticated, [...]

Home again home again.

We just got back from a weekend in at my inlaws. Unfortunately the weather just did not cooperate for kayaking, but we did get Wes’bike to the shop and my bridal veil is now in progress. As many of you know (but some don’t), this past week I ended my time at the job I’d [...]
