Life


Some months I feel like there isn't much to share through my blog and then other times, there are just too many things! I try to do the best I can, but I can get backlogged. So, here is my effort to catch up on a few fun things we've done in the past few months that didn't make the cut...

1. Josh graduated from barber school in May so Stacy planned a surprise party for him. We all wore mustaches. It was a pretty good time! 


2. Kimberly is 25! It is so rare to have a friend that has literally been in your life for as long as you can remember. We have been through everything together and still like each other! :) I am so thankful to still be able to call her my best friend! We celebrated her birthday in July at Mexico Joe's. It was so much fun to get together with friends I hadn't seen in a while, and I got to introduce them to Stacie who just happened to be in town that night!

3. Kurtis and Amanda invited us to go to the lake with them. We were excited to go, but my expectations weren't too high. It was over 100 degrees outside, I had to wear a bathing suit and I don't have much lake experience. But we had a blast! It was my first time on a jet ski, but I loved it. So glad they thought of us!

4. Kyle has spent a lot of his time recently detailing cars. Don't ask me why, but he and Tom love it. While I was gone to Nashville last week, they cleaned my car and it looks AMAZING. It's so nice not to have dust all over my dashboard. :) Feel free to give him a call if your car needs a good cleaning. 

5. A storm came through on Monday night (interrupting the season premier of Bachelor Pad!) and there was a lot of damage around town. There were 80 mph winds, so I think we got pretty lucky that this was the only damage to our property. Kyle must have done a good job building that storage shed because it survived the storm.

6. The Wards and Taylors took a short vacation to Branson earlier this week. Unfortunately, we weren't able to go and neither were Ty and Lisa. Because Stillwater was on the way home, they stopped by for dinner last night. Poor Asher was sick and on the BRATs diet. Kyle misunderstood and thought the only foods Asher could eat for the rest of his life were bananas, rice, applesauce and toast. It was pretty hilarious. Asher was pretty playful for being under the weather and he loved Uncle Kyle's remote control car.



7. Happy birthday, Mom! Today is her birthday, and I am so lucky to have such a wonderful mother. I honestly couldn't imagine a better one. Throughout the years, she has been the person I turn to for pretty much everything. She's understanding, never overbearing and always makes you feel better no matter what is going on. I love you very much and hope you continue to have a great 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
