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.)

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.

A Yellow Brick Farewell

Written August 18, 2017: Well it's finally happening. This weekend, we are packing boxes and preparing to move out of our little yellow brick house. I can't help but be sentimental as I think about all the life we've lived here. It has been a wonderful first home for us. We both agree that if we could pick it up and move it, we would. But it's time to start a new chapter. Life has changed in so many ways over the past seven years. In these four walls, we have experienced it all - highs, lows and plateaus. (And no, I am not just referring to our house hunt, which was brutal for everyone.) I am so grateful for where we are today. God has blessed us in so many ways. I started this blog to document our lives, and I am so glad to have all of these yellow brick memories to look back on. But as we enter this new chapter, I am finding my devotion to capturing the moment is often keeping me from living in it. I don't want to hold so tightly anymore. I am ready to l

Independence Day

Where did this week go? It seems like the 4th of July was just yesterday, but I realize I'm a little delinquent with this post. Last weekend was a very long one for me - four days to be exact, and I loved every minute of it. I especially loved Monday because for the first time in a very long time, Kyle had a holiday (besides Christmas or Thanksgiving) off! We weren't incredibly productive, but we got to spend time with the Fox family and Tom, so it was a pretty good day. Stillwater's fireworks were on Sunday, so we invited Amanda and Kurtis over for a cookout. Then we drove across town to Kim and Trey's so we could have a front row seat for the show. They weren't there, but they were kind enough to let us sit in their driveway. :) We had a great time and were able to really celebrate this year, as opposed to last year when Kyle was still healing from his surgery. I really enjoy the 4th of July. When I was younger it meant getting together at Grandma and Grandpa Tayl
