Follow Through

This week, Kyle and I have started doing what we say we are going to do. For Kyle, that means finally putting together the shed in our backyard. We've had it for almost two months and every weekend he intends to put it together, but nothing actually happens. Well, last weekend he and his friends spent SEVERAL hours working on it. It's looking great and it's almost done! Hopefully by Sunday, we'll be moving things out of our garage! I'm so excited.

For me, I've finally started working out. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm not, nor have I ever been a health nut. I eat pretty much what I want when I want and do little to no exercise. I don't know if it's my rapidly advancing age or the wedding band on my finger, but all of the sudden, that plan isn't really working for me anymore. I have an elliptical at the house, but since the move, I haven't really used it. I needed something to get me motivated, so I signed up for boot camp at the Seretean Wellness Center with Amanda, one of my work friends. It's three days a week from 6:15 to 7 a.m.! I wouldn't call myself a morning person, but so far so good. We've had three classes, and I've really enjoyed adding a little physical activity to my life. There's no class tomorrow, but maybe I'll still get out of bed and do my elliptical. Maybe.

I'll keep you posted on our progress...

Chi-town Shenanigans

Image
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...
