Fast, Furious February

February flew by, and, to be honest, I don't remember a lot of details at this point. So, you are getting one quick post that updates you on the whole month. Although I don't remember specifically what we did every weekend in February, I do know that we had lots to celebrate and many great evenings with wonderful friends.

 I started the month off with a quick trip to Hennessey. Quinn and Olivia play so well together! 

 Then, we continued our tradition of watching the Super Bowl over at the Morton's. Things are a bit different now that there are two little girls in the picture, but Kyle LOVED playing in Blakely's tent with Morgan!

 ...or by himself


 Kyle turned the big 3-1 on the 9th. We celebrated with a birthday dinner at Kyoto's with Tom, Krystal and Mark. 

We were surprised, honored and THRILLED to be the guests of Mike and Anne Greenwood on the night they were inducted into the OSU Alumni Hall of Fame. I am so in awe of the generosity displayed by this humble couple. Getting to know them has been such a treat for Kyle and I! 


We forgot to get a picture taken at the event, so we had a little photo session at home. This one mysteriously never made it to Facebook. 

 But this one did...

 And this one, as well as 10 others like it! Needless to say, Kyle was really proud of how he looked that evening. 

 I tried out a new interfaith bible study called Propel. It was fun to meet new people and see some familiar faces. This was my study group for the month of February. 

 We missed Oliver's one-year anniversary as a Fox last year because we were out of the country. Even though I worked late on Feb. 16, I stopped by Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory on my way home for some special treats to mark the occasion. It's been two years full of laughter, tears, countless memories and SO MUCH love! 


I got back on the running wagon in February to get back in shape for our upcoming 10k. 

And, just before the month was over, Kyle took a trip to Dallas for a Stars game (hockey is his new obsession). So Stacy came down for a girls weekend to celebrate my upcoming 30th birthday. Thai Cafe and the Wine Bar made for a wonderful evening.

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.

A Yellow Brick Farewell

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

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
