We had quite a busy January and February! I can't believe it is March already! Today is actually 9 months since our wedding! Time flies!
My college friends came at the end of January for the annual In-Betweenie celebration! Krista's birthday is two days before mine, and we have had a joint celebration spanning three days for almost all of the nine birthdays we have known each other! This year it was a few days before our birthdays, and we had SO much fun! I always feel so refreshed after spending time with my friends!
They came in Thursday night, and we went to The Flying Saucer in Kansas City. We had a GREAT time! We stayed up too late, and Krista and I slept with the lights on because we couldn't figure out how to turn them off - haha: )
Saturday we had lunch at Johnny's, and then we went to Katie B's to hang out with her and her 6-month-old twins, Owen and Abram. They are adorable, and it was awesome to see Katie and to finally meet the boys!
I drove back to Lawrence and went for a run, and then it was time to shower up for a night on the town! We ate at Free State Brewery (my fave!), and then we did our own Mass St. pub crawl. SO SO SO much fun with my girls (and NIck and Claire!)!!
The weekend was much needed, but it does make me sad because I do not know when I will see everyone again: ( Last year there was SO much happening - weddings, showers, etc. - but this year I do not know what the next event will be! Most of the girls are headed to TX in May, but I don't think I can swing it this year: ( I hope to make some other plans soon!
Oh yeah! I also made my first pancake EVER in January! I used Silk Pumpkin Spice Soy Milk and added nutmeg and cinnamon - DELICIOUS! I took a picture of it because I was so impressed with myself: )
The weekend after my friends came, we headed to Texas for the KU-TX basketball game in Austin. The trip was AMAZING!!! The weather could have been a little bit better - it was a little cloudy/rainy/windy - but it was much warmer than Kansas at the time! We had zero problems with our flights, so that made the trip even better! We flew to Dallas Friday night, and stayed at Jenny and Tim's. In the morning, we drove to Austin and started our trip watching KU beat Nebraska. We spent the rest of the evening on 6th Street, and we did our fair share of sining at Pete's Dueling Piano Bar. Great night!
On Sunday, we ate at Free Birds, and then we did a little shopping on South Congress. Sunday was the Super Bowl, so we went to a sport's bar to watch the game. Once again, we headed to 6th Street to cap off the night!
On Monday, we lounged around all morning, and eventually we ate WAY TOO MUCH at the Mellow Mushroom. After lunch, we played cards at the hotel for several hours! It was fun to spend some quality time with Jenny (my third sis!) and Tim (my one and only brother!)! I did some much needed laughing: ) After happy hour, we made our way to the game! ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!!! The game was a blast - there was SO much blue in the stands! Nick has been to the last four game in Austin (I went with him two years ago!), and this was the first time he has seen a win! AWESOME!!! As you may have already guessed...we went back to 6th Street after the game and celebrated with many other KU fans who were out on the street!
I have SO many good pictures, but I will just share a few of them...
I can't wait to go back!
Since then, I have been CRAZY busy! I have been working many, many, many hours on my IT class. It is going well, but it takes up a TON of time! I am learning basic Flash design, and I have to post my projects using Dreamweaver to my Web site. I am enjoying the class, but it is wearing me out! I only have four more days of teaching (and one teacher meeting/work day) before spring break - I need it!
I have a little bit more to write, but I am exhausted and just want to chill on the couch for a bit! I will update again soon - PROMISE!
