Fun with Friends

"There are some people in life that make you laugh a little louder, smile a little bigger and live just a little bit better." 

These last few months we have had so many outings with friends. They helped me gain lots of laugh lines that I wouldn't trade for the world!

Kim and Trey hosted a little house warming party while Rusty was in town. It was so good to see everyone, and I couldn't believe how grown up Blakely was! 

Kyle had a little trouble mastering Kim's hammock, but he got out of it before the night was over! 

Kinsey and Morgan are going to be BFFs just like their mommas! 

There's nothing like a little Bret Michaels to heal the soul! 



 And then we strolled down memory lane with...

 Gavin Degraw 

 And SHANIA

 We thought we were fans, but my new best friend showed us up. I sat by this 80-year-old man and his wife who had clearly been to plenty of Shania concerts before. It was great entertainment. 

 Her concert's production quality was a LITTLE higher than Bret Michaels. She had pyrotechnics, huge video screens and even a saddle that raised up into the air and swung her out over the crowd. (Who comes up with this stuff?!)


 We've also had some fun weekend with our life group. 

Celebrating a special little boy's very first birthday. 

And livin' it up like VIPs in an OKC Dodgers suite! Praise the Lord for air conditioning! 


But my favorite friend to hang out with is this guy right here. We may frustrate each other from time to time, but there's no one I'd rather share a golf cart with. :)

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...
