Like Sands Through the Hour Glass...

In the past few weeks, I’ve gotten to see some of my old high school friends at wedding showers and dinners. It’s been so much fun reconnecting, but it’s obvious that life is different than it was before. We used to sit around and day dream about Coach Esau (OK, so that was mainly me), but now we are talking about babies, mothers-in-law, house remodels and coupon clipping. It’s an interesting change, but I really enjoy finding out who everyone is growing up to be.

The soon-to-be Mrs. Jessica Wilson and I got to meet up for dinner finally. Fun times!

In other news, my low of the week was trying to pick out a new front door. Who knew there would be so many details to work out?! We need one really badly, not only because our current one looks less than appealing, but it also doesn’t latch right and has been a problem since we moved in. I’m not good at making decisions like this and I never have enjoyed it. The problem is that I get buyer’s remorse so big purchases are never a fun thing for me. Surprised? You shouldn’t be, I am the girl that had two wedding dresses after all!

Our new door should be installed soon, and I hate to say it, but I’m kind of dreading it. I dread it because I know for a fact that once it’s here, I will wonder if we should have gone with something different. After a month of two of that, I should be OK. So, do me a favor. If you come to visit us please don’t point out anything negative about our door. Chances are, I’m already thinking it. Hold your criticism until May when I will be confident in my decision. I’m pretty sure Kyle doesn’t want to have to pay for another one.

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
