THUNDER UPset

Kyle called me at work last Monday to tell me that I needed to cancel any plans we had for Tuesday night because he was going to the Thunder playoff game. I was excited for him and asked who invited him to go. He then said that he got tickets from one of his friends through work and was taking Greg. I’m not going to lie, I felt a little lot slighted for not being his first choice, but I guess that’s what I get for not being a very big sports fan. But then Kyle broke the news that Stacie and Henry were coming, too, which meant I had a cute little nephew to take my mind off of it!

Kyle was so excited for them to come. He’s really been missing his nephews and while we were planning to see Conner soon, we weren’t sure when we’d see Henry again. Kyle came home that night with two big balloons and he giggled as he hid them in the closet for Henry to find. Before they left for the game they had all kinds of fun! It was an 8:30 p.m. game and unfortunately, OKC lost. It was a long ride home and the boys were extremely tired the next morning! Greg, Stacie and Henry stayed in town and had lunch with us before heading out so they could make it to Henry’s first swimming lesson. It was a quick trip, but it was so good to see them.

Henry has grown up so much. He would run around the house, and every now and then, he would stop, point up at the fan, swing his arm and say, “round, round, round!” So intelligent! He knows baby sign language and can also tell you what sounds a cat, dog, pig, bear and cow make. It’s so precious. 


 I love me some fries! 

 They're so good!

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.

Independence Day

Where did this week go? It seems like the 4th of July was just yesterday, but I realize I'm a little delinquent with this post. Last weekend was a very long one for me - four days to be exact, and I loved every minute of it. I especially loved Monday because for the first time in a very long time, Kyle had a holiday (besides Christmas or Thanksgiving) off! We weren't incredibly productive, but we got to spend time with the Fox family and Tom, so it was a pretty good day. Stillwater's fireworks were on Sunday, so we invited Amanda and Kurtis over for a cookout. Then we drove across town to Kim and Trey's so we could have a front row seat for the show. They weren't there, but they were kind enough to let us sit in their driveway. :) We had a great time and were able to really celebrate this year, as opposed to last year when Kyle was still healing from his surgery. I really enjoy the 4th of July. When I was younger it meant getting together at Grandma and Grandpa Tayl

A Yellow Brick Farewell

Image
Written August 18, 2017: Well it's finally happening. This weekend, we are packing boxes and preparing to move out of our little yellow brick house. I can't help but be sentimental as I think about all the life we've lived here. It has been a wonderful first home for us. We both agree that if we could pick it up and move it, we would. But it's time to start a new chapter. Life has changed in so many ways over the past seven years. In these four walls, we have experienced it all - highs, lows and plateaus. (And no, I am not just referring to our house hunt, which was brutal for everyone.) I am so grateful for where we are today. God has blessed us in so many ways. I started this blog to document our lives, and I am so glad to have all of these yellow brick memories to look back on. But as we enter this new chapter, I am finding my devotion to capturing the moment is often keeping me from living in it. I don't want to hold so tightly anymore. I am ready to l
