O-Yes!

So it appears my blog has turned into a place for confessions, but after yesterday, I couldn’t help but post another.

When I was in middle/high school my best friend Kimberly and I were obsessed with O-Town. If you're a little rusty on your boy band trivia, that's the one that formed from the TV show Making the Band (the original, without P. Diddy) and had profound hits like "Liquid Dreams" and "All or Nothing."

So you can imagine my excitement when I found out yesterday that the band is reuniting! I have been listening to O-Town songs all day reminiscing about all the memories. Including the time that we almost met them in Georgia during a Frontliners mission trip. But that's another story (sorry for those of you that were DYING to hear it).

I was thrilled to hear this news for many reasons, but mainly because it seems their lives have taken a turn for the worse since breaking up. I think there is no sadder reality show than There and Back, which featured Ashley Parker Angel's life after fame. Unfortunately, he won't be rejoining the group this time around, which is pretty devastating since he was my absolute favorite. Oh well, I hear he has a feature film coming out, so I'm sure it's only a matter of time until his career takes off.

I just had to share this news with all my faithful blog readers because I know you are dying to know. Who wouldn't be?! My prediction is that the band will find a new following and be even more successful than before. So all of you who mock me now, be prepared to eat your words!

And now I'd like to share some photos from my Facebook album "The Best Night EVER." (aka the day Kim and I saw APA in concert. Yes, we were in college. Don't judge!)

The super cute shirts we spent hours making!


Just before Ashley came on stage! We had VIP passes, which meant we were on the second row!

Unfortunately, we still had someone in front of us and her head is featured in nearly EVERY photo.

This was also before my digital camera days.

Yes, he plays an instrument, too!

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...
