Welcome
The purpose of this blog is to keep our friends and family updated on the silly stuff we call life. Hope you enjoy it!
I hope everyone had a Happy Easter! I know I did. Mike and I took a little road trip across the great state of Missouri to see my family in Kansas. We arrived on Friday evening, ate dinner and watched the Royals game. They won, yay! We passed by the stadium on the way in and there was almost no one there. It wasn't that surprising since it was around 30 degrees...boy was it cold. Of course they still had the silly-guy-without-shirt to show on TV. Those guys must do some serious tailgating to do that in freezing weather!
Saturday we went to lunch with my Aunt Diane and cousin Kathleen. We talked about Easter plans and wedding plans. Then we went to David's Bridal to try on wedding dresses...again! Its okay, because it was a place I hadn't been before. I tried on about a dozen dresses. From the simple no frills dress...to the sequin everywhere dress. And of course they had to put a veil on, which really does complete the outfit. But this one girl kept putting a blusher on me. A blusher is the veil that goes over your face that your dad is supposed to lift up after he's walked you down the aisle. With my luck, it would get caught on my dad's watch and rip and it would mess up my hair. So no blusher, but I humored her because she really wanted me to try it on. Then this other lady kept yelling at me because I wouldn't put the slip on under the dress. I would've put a slip on, but what they gave me was more of a Scarlett O'Hara hoop skirt! When I swayed back and forth I looked like a church bell! Anyway, we had a good time, but I again didn't buy anything. But I have over a year, so what's the rush?
Easter day we went to Diane's for brunch and were entertained by our cousin's kids, Jennifer and David. They both just learned how to give bunny ears to each other, which is quite appropriate for Easter. They told us about their Easter egg hunt and what the Easter bunny left for them.
Then it was back in the car for another wonderful four hour drive across Missouri. At least stuff is growing, so the scenery is a little prettier to look at.
Happy Belated Easter, Everyone!
Okay, so this is a little gross, but I'm going to post it anyway. Yesterday, we came across something odd on our front porch...nope, not a gift from FedEx...nope, not a baby in a basket...nope, not Jehovah's witnesses...a dead baby bunny, two actually! One was there Tuesday morning...got rid of it, another one showed up Tuesday evening. We have no clue what's going on, but it sounds like something we've been warned about in the Bible or something. We are hoping its a cat that has found a nest in our yard and is taking them out one by one and dragging them up there for some reason. The only reason we hope that's the case is because i think I'd freak out if we found out it was a person or a ghost doing this. Yes there are too many rabbits in our neighborhood, but I don't want all the dead ones at our house. Just hope none of them are the Easter Bunny...he he...sorry, bad joke.
This weekend was a continuation of my birthday, because Mom and Dad drove out from Overland Park. We had a great time (and not just because I got more presents and a dinner).
Saturday was snowy and cold, but we still made it out wedding dress shopping! Jenna and Amy joined my mom and me and went to An Elegant Event bridal shop in Chesterfield. It was such a cute store. They had some really nice designer gowns. I am really liking Maggie Sottero dresses.
This would be a great place for me to put some pictures of myself in the gowns acting all pretty and princess-y. That is not going to happen because Mike is not allowed to know what my gown will look like. I think it is such a neat traditions to not let the groom see the bride in her gown until she takes her first steps down the aisle. So I won't post dress pictures until after the wedding. In the mean time, here is a picture I drew on power point to commemorate the wedding gown trying on event.
This is my Valentine Monkey. I'm very proud of him because I drew him on the computer. No hi-tech software for me...just good ol' power point. I think he turned out pretty cute!
Mike and I didn't do too much for Valentine's Day since we already did the whole out to dinner romantic thing for my birthday. And, we didn't have to wait for a table since no one seems to go out on Monday nights. Mike was sweet and he brought me home some roses and a nice card.
I made him a card...I know I know...isn't that what you do in second grade for your crush? Its something I enjoy doing, so he likes getting them. At least that's what he tells me. Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day!
