Thunder and Lightening

Kyle and I have had a pretty great week! There are many reasons for this, but the biggest, especially for Kyle, is that he got to go to two Thunder playoff games. One of his friends so generously offered his playoff tickets to Kyle since he couldn't go himself.

By the time we found out about this, I had already made plans to play in a very serious bowling tournament Monday night. Plus, that was the season premier of The Bachelorette, so it would have been a shame to miss my watch party! :) Luckily for Kyle's brother, he went in my place. They had a great night despite the fact that Kyle got to bed about 3 hours later than he normally does and his voice was scratchy from all of the yelling.

Here's a picture from the "serious bowling tournament" referenced above. Our team, Minds in the Gutter, had a great time bowling and did pretty well, but the only prize we walked away with was the 2nd best dressed award.

Wednesday night was my turn to go with him. This game the team didn't play as well, but the ending was very exciting. For those of you who don't know, we were playing the Los Angeles Lakers - game two of the series. It came down to the final seconds. Sports doesn't get much more exciting than this. I had a great time, but Kyle clearly enjoyed himself much more than I did. He gets very into the game and it was fun to watch him. At home he's the only one screaming since I'm usually doing other things while the game is on. This time he had people to cheer with and high five. He was in heaven.



On Thursday we both had some time off. Kyle only had to work for half the day, and I went to Oklahoma City to see some former coworkers and do a little shopping. I had so much fun. I went to visit my old supervisor at Saxum and got a tour of their "new" building. I worked there the summer of 2007 as an intern. It was a hard summer for several reasons, but I grew so much as a person during that time. It's been five years, (where does the time go!) but I still vividly remember much of my time there. In fact, I can still smell the newspapers and the coffee brewing. I was just another one of the dozens of interns they've had, but it will always hold a special place in my heart.

In the old building there was free popcorn from the deli downstairs once a week. I took a little popcorn basket with me for the staff to enjoy. As it turns out, they still carry on the tradition and have a popcorn machine and everything. :)

This weekend, I am going to a baby shower for my cousin, and I can't wait! If my little craft project works out, it will be part of my gift, so I'll let you know how it goes. I hope you all had a great week as well!

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...
