I'm Alive

So the month of April was pretty much nonexistent according to my little blog. Fortunately, it was VERY productive on both the work front and the home improvement front. I can't wait to post before and after pictures of everything Kyle and I have been up to, but for now, I need to do a little catch-up. Here are some photos/videos I haven't shared yet. Get excited for even more coming soon!

Easter in Ponca
Now that's a big dog. 

Fun with Grandpa Fox.

Kyle was SO excited to wear his Chive shirt. He was been waiting for it for 6 months. For those of you who aren't "chivers" it's a website.

Conner loves to watch himself! It's a theme among the nephews.

Such a happy boy! 

April Birthdays in Hennessey

Uncle Kyle and Asher watching farm videos on the computer. 

Happy birthday Zach (22) and Stacy (28)!

Cake time! Or for Asher, frosting time. He has a sweet tooth just like Aunt Abby!

The night we celebrated birthdays was also the night of two memorable occasions. The first was the tornado in Woodward. Asher had never seen one before and we were watching it on TV. I had several students from the area, but luckily all of their families were safe and sound despite how devastating the second tornado was to the town.


The second memorable occasion was HHS students performing the dance from Footloose on Main Street during prom. We didn't go because Kyle was already getting ready for bed, but luckily they got it on video and I got a breaking news update from the Clipper about it. I sent it to all of my coworkers telling them this was the most exciting thing to happen at a Hennessey prom since I was crowned Prom Queen! :) It now has over 65,000 views, which isn't too shabby for a town just shy of 2,000 people.

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...
