Hoppy Easter

Easter came early this year, and Kyle and I weren't ready for it. We had spent several weekends in a row traveling to see family and were ready for a little downtime. However, both of our families were getting together, and I had a hard time wrapping my mind around not seeing either family on a holiday. So in the end we compromised. We would go to church in town, drive to Hennessey for a quick lunch and then come back home so Kyle could do some yard work.

I had my reservations, but in the end the day turned out to be pretty perfect. Going to early service gave us plenty of time to make it to Hennessey so I could help my Mom with the meal. Turns out, she would have been better off without me since I managed to ruin my favorite part...the deviled eggs :(. It was so disappointing. But the rest of the meal was great. Kyle and I entertained Asher after lunch with a little soccer and some egg hunting. After a quick game of pitch with the adults, we headed back to Stillwater.

 Asher wasn't into this picture, but I wanted to get one in his Easter best. Before they came over, Stacy told him they were going to change clothes and he said, "But Mommy, I look so handsome in this." He was right! He didn't last long in his dress clothes though. 

Asher wanted to hide AND hunt the eggs. You would think it would take him all of 2.5 seconds doing it that way, but he took his sweet little time "finding" them all. When we were about halfway done, he turned into a horse, which added a level of difficulty!

 Asher eventually tired of the hunting and decided he wanted to do flashcards on the iPhone.


The day had started off a little chilly, but by the time we got home, it was so nice! After the yard work was done, we even went for a little walk. It was a fabulous day to celebrate the resurrection! The only thing that would have made it better was being able to see these two cuties in person.

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...
