Our Life in the Yellow Brick House

Kyle and I have had one busy weekend after another, which means we have a very messy house! Overall, though, we have been having a blast watching our first-ever Stillwater fireworks show with Kim and Trey, golfing, enjoying a cookout with Kyle’s family, going to the city to shop with the girls, watching OSU foo
