"Our" First Entry


We have been living in our new home for 19 days now and I am happy to say that all the painting is done, the boxes are unpacked and the decorations are hung. After going non-stop for weeks, I finally have some time to relax, so I decided to start a blog. This is something I've wanted to do for a while but just never got around to it. I chose to start now for two reasons:

1. I want to document our life together. Since the newness of marriage is wearing off and we do not have children yet (much to Kyle's delight), I have gotten lazy about taking photos and making memories. This blog will hopefully help me do a better job of that.

2. I really miss writing. I used to write for a living, but since I changed roles at the Foundation in June, I haven't been writing as much, and I'm beginning to miss it. There was nothing glamorous about press releases and annual appeals, but it satisfied my appetite for putting together sentences. I never was nor am I now a fabulous writer, but I've always enjoyed doing it, and that's not something I want to give up.




















So there you have it, our first entry (Know that when I say "our" I'm using that term loosely because I will be flabbergasted if Kyle ever writes one. However, now that we are married, we are partners so whatever I do, I do with him.)I'm not sure anyone will read this, but if there is anyone out there, I have posted a few before picture from our move-in. I'll post some after pictures soon.

    I think this is the first blog I have read start to finish. Congratulations! I will enjoy keeping up with your new hobby.

    PS. The house looks great!

Chi-town Shenanigans

The Tuesday before last, I left for a trip to Chicago. The annual ADRP conference was there this year and while I've been in the past, this year was different because our ENTIRE team went. There were seven of us in all, and we had so much fun together! Chicago is a place I've never really been dying to visit. I haven't been opposed, it just wasn't on the top of my list. However, after going there, I definitely want to go back. It's a very clean city and there is so much to do and so many wonderful things to see. Kyle and I will have to plan a trip there some day. If I learned one thing this trip it was that I work with the most awesome people! On the airport parking shuttle on our way home we met a lady. She said she opted to take the full shuttle because she and four of her coworkers had been together for four days and needed a little time apart. We all smiled and nodded as if we understood completely, but in that moment I couldn't. We spent our spare ti...

Love Text

I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this before, but I LOVE the first Sex and the City Movie. The second, not so much, but I’m pretty sure everyone in America agrees with me on that one. I watched it while I was sick last week. In the movie, there’s an exchange between Carrie and Big that goes a little something like this: C: “Have you ever written me a love letter?” B: “Does a love fax count?” C: “When have I EVER gotten a love fax?” B: “Oh, I'm sure my secretary sent you one...at some point. What can I tell you, baby? It's just not my style. Besides, those guys had to write. They were separated from their loves by wars and hundreds and hundreds of miles. I'm right here. Hello. You make me very happy.” C: “Yeah, yeah. Put it in writing.” Comic genius. Anyway, that got me thinking that Kyle and I rarely ever stop to focus on what we love about each other. Unfortunately we spend far too much time pointing out things we wish the other would do differently....

Spring Break

Contrary to popular belief, the OSU Foundation is not closed during spring break. In fact, we are open on most of the university-specific holidays. However, I was fortunate to be able to take 1 1/2 days off to spend a little time with the family during their break. My parents, Zach, Stacy and Asher had planned to visit my Donahue grandparents in Kansas, so I decided to tag along. Poor Kyle had to work, but he also got to spend the weekend with Greg and Stacie. They took him to a Thunder game and then out for golf on Saturday. They also found some basketball video game Greg and Kyle used to play as kids so that entertained them for most of Saturday evening. Stacie sent me this photo. They won with a dunk during the final seconds of the game. I think they're excited! :) Back on the farm, we got to spend a little time with Landon, who is now 6 months old. It's hard to believe how big his is! He is even sitting up on his own. Asher did pretty good with him although he did unintenti...
