Randomness

Even though I posted not that long ago, I feel like there are a lot of things I've left out, so here are some highlights over the last few weeks.

1. Mark and Karin are finally married! Kyle and Mark have been friends for years so when Mark and Karin started dating, we became couple friends. Those are good to have. I'm glad to say that now they are one of our MARRIED couple friends. Their wedding was beautiful and we are so happy for them!

My husband with the groom!

2. Much to Kyle's delight, the time finally came for him to get a new phone. Even though he knew he wanted an iPhone 4, he asked the salesman to tell him the difference between that and a Samsung Captivate. Besides the fact that the Samsung was half the price (obviously that's the one I was rooting for) and offered pretty much the same features, Kyle had get the iPhone. He loves it and was up til 11:00 that night playing with it. Needless to say, I'm glad he's happy and now I can buy as many Christmas decorations as I want! :)


3. I never updated you about Halloween! Kyle was working on the storage shed in Stillwater, so I headed to Oklahoma City to celebrate with the extended family and see Asher in his cute little costume. He was Tigger this year, thanks to Trey's mom. I've posted about this before, but we bought his handmade outfit at her garage sale this summer. Thanks, Kathy!

Trick or Treat

Such a cutie! This was in between all of the crying.

On the prowl

He had fun playing with the candy but there was no way his mom was going to let him eat any!

4. While I was in the city, I stopped by Josh's barber school and got another haircut. This one was much more comfortable considering I didn't have to bend over the bathtub to wash my hair! :) Asher came along and we stopped at Braum's to eat. He had a good time playing with the lemons while we waited on our food.


Asher also got a new 'do from Josh. What do you think?


5. Well Kyle worked very hard and the storage shed is "done"! We have different opinions about the meaning of that word, considering he still has to lay part of the floor, but he has moved all of the lawn stuff out of the garage and I am very happy about that. We have wonderful friends and family who helped us with this project. Thank you, guys!


6. Our marriage turned two on Monday! Kyle and I didn't have a huge anniversary celebration, but it was a perfect day. I made him dinner, he bought me flowers and we watched our wedding video. Bliss.... We plan to go to OKC soon to really celebrate. I'm looking forward to getting away even if it's only for a few days.

Kyle's eyes look a little misty in this photo. That softy, I guess that's what our wedding video does to him! :)


Well that pretty much covers everything. Have a good Thursday and brace yourself for some dreary weather tomorrow! (I'm kind of looking forward to another rainy day.)

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...
