March Celebrations

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Kyle and I are celebrating by hanging out at the house watching basketball. Not the most fun I've ever had, but he went grocery shopping with me earlier and tonight he's making me dinner, so I can't complain.

I can't believe it's already mid-March. It's been a busy month so far, which explains why I haven't posted lately. So I guess we'll start with the beginning of the month. The first weekend of March was a big one for us because I was helping host a shower for one of my friends and we were traveling to Hennessey to celebrate our birthdays with my family.

The baby shower was for Amanda Mason. We've known Amanda and Kurtis for a few years now, and it's so fun to see them becoming parents! A little piece of us might be slightly sad about the changes that will come with moving them over to the "friends with kids" column, but we are SUPER excited to meet Baby Mason. We had so much fun planning the shower and celebrating with friends, coworkers and Amanda's family.

The brunch spread. 

Fruit and donut hole skewers, my Pinterest project.

Amanda got all kinds of fun gifts. My two favorite were the baby Cowboy boots her Mom sewed together (VERY impressive) and the scrapbook Erin made her.

The dessert table.

Amanda and the hostesses. Annie, Katie, Mary Kate, Michal and me.

Once we got done with the shower and Michal got let back into her house :), Kyle got off work and we headed to Hennessey.

Asher liked "helping" us open our presents. He even picked out Kyle's card and was so excited to show us all. 


Our birthday cakes. Mom made two kinds of frosting for us since Kyle wanted nothing but chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.

My actual birthday was a great one. I got so many birthday wishes from family and friends. Kyle was going to plan a surprise dinner for me, but I ended up ruining it. All I wanted to do was stay in, wear my sweat pants, eat take-out and watch Big Bang Theory. That sounds totally lame, but we had plans every other night that week and it was nice to just be able to do whatever I wanted that evening. I'm excited to see what year 27 brings!

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...
