This weekend wasn't exactly an exciting one, so I don't know how much fun this Memoior Monday is going to be.  But all in all, a nice, solid weekend.

1.) Friday night Mr. KU and I went to the Pat Green Concert with a few of our friends.  The concert was soo much fun!  He is a great, down to earth entertainer!  

2.) Saturday we spent the day DOING NOTHING.  Well, he played Tiger Woods Golf and I updated my blog.  (more to come I promise, I'm still finalizing a few things).  I literally sat in front of the computer, researching how to do new tricks, finding cool websites, looking for backgrounds, etc.  I'm almost done - let me know what you think so far!  I LOVE COMMENTS!

3.) Then Saturday night I watched the worst basketball game I have ever seen.  KState looked like a middle school team, you CANNOT win a basketball game shooting 25%.  The team is falling a part it seems and it's very disappointing.  I hope they can get their act together or KState may not see the NIT Tournament this year.

4.) And finally, I got to catch up with a great friend on Sunday evening for dinner.  We went to Blanc Burger and caught up with each others' lives.  

What did you do this weekend!

New Blog

As you can see, I'm updating my blog again.  I'm trying some new things out, learning some cool tricks and finding some AMAZING websites that have free headers, post dividers, etc.  As soon as I am completely satisfied with the blog I'll let you know and share where I got all of this cool stuff!

Thanks for reading!

Decisions...Decisions....

Well, a few posts ago I asked if I was a boring person...I was kinda bored with my life and what I was doing.  So I took a few weeks to research and think about what activities I wanted to get involved in.  I have decided that I'm going to volunteer with the Susan G. Komen Foundation and be on the Race Committee.  Then, I am also taking on the responsibility of being the Social Advisor for the local Alpha Delta Pi chapter at KU! 

My mom and aunt are survivors of breast cancer and ever since my mom was diagnosed I've had this desire to help and with the organization, just never had the time (or made the time) to do it.  In my first meeting that I had I walked away feeling so much pride and love...I don't know its just so hard to put into words.  Its very moving. 

Don't worry - I will keep you up-to-date on these new adventures in my life.  I'm very excited to see what comes next!

"OOHH I wanna dance with somebody..."

I wanna feel the heat with somebody! 

So...we went on an 80's Pub Crawl last night.  It was soo much fun.  We started off the evening bowling and then went to a few hole in the wall bars around Mission, KS.  We sang karaoke and danced to a lot of 80's song.  The DJ got a huge kick out of us.

80's were not a good look for me! :)



NO MORE SNOW!

SOOO...it's snowing again in Kansas.  I'm really getting tired of this weather.  We got pretty lucky so far by not having so much snow and now it has just been dumped on us!!  Last week we got 3-4 inches and tonight its looking like we are getting another 8-10 inches!!!  I shouldn't be so negative about it, I know...but this is just getting a little old.  I took a few pictures of Ellie outside playing in the snow and what the area around us is looking like.  I am just really hoping for a snow day!!!

Earlier today when I got home from work -- only about 2-3 inches...

And now we are up to 5-6 inches...

Yes I know she's pooping, but I couldn't get a good picture of her running around.  She was cold out in the snow with her new hair cut thanks to Grandma!



Both of my loves -- I think they are more in love with each other, than me! 



This weekend was soooo much fun!  Mr. KU and I got together with some friends and their significant others for a night away from KC.  We went down to Cottonwood Falls, KS and stayed at the Grand Central Hotel.  They have THE BEST steaks that I have ever had.  It was awesome!  There were about 20 of us that drove down from Lawrence/Topeka area to stay the night and have a really nice dinner.  

Its a very quaint hotel and restaurant - 10 rooms in total and we had the entire hotel booked.  After dinner and after the restaurant closed we were able to come down to the bar and just hang out for the evening without having to worry about driving to the bar in town.  Mr. KU helped run the hotel/restaurant and is still very close to the owner so we really got to run the place which was nice.  We didn't have to worry about disturbing any other guests.

We were also able to spend some time with Mr. KU's mom on Friday evening and see a couple friends of his from high school. 

Great weekend, with wonderful friends!  Here's some pics:

FYI - this will be a random post, couple odd ball things on my mind today...

I definitely have a case of the Mondays today!!  Mostly because when I woke up Lawrence, KS was covered in 3-5 inches of snow...NOT FUN!  I have to take I-70 about 20 minutes to Topeka each day and this morning it took me almost an hour!  I was driving 35 MPH on the highway when  I normally drive 75-80.  All in all I got to work safely and I have a lovely boyfriend who drove me home.  (for those that don't know yes, Mr. KU and I work together)

Also, as you can probably tell from some of my pictures -- I have braces.  Well, late last week I got my bottom braces on.  Not the most fun experience in the world, but I am on the home-ward stretch!  Hopefully only about 9-12 more months and I will be complete!  Perfectly straight, beautiful teeth!  I'm very excited for that day to come!  (and my bank account will be happy to not have to pay that monthly payment too!)

AND.....Mr KU has not seen me without braces or some sort of retainer in my mouth!  He loves me for me!  hehe  I can't wait to give him a big smile!!

I'm also glad Monday is over because that means I only have 4 days to the weekend!!!  I'm looking forward to The 2nd Annual Strong City Trip with about 20 friends from work....fantastic food, crazy times and great friends!  Pictures will be posted next weekend.

Have a fantastic week!
