No real theme to this blog post…just random stuff that's been keeping us busy :)1. There's a new brewery in town! I missed a turn a few weeks back and turned around by an old grain elevator…hello No Label Brewing Co. A little research told us that they had free tastings on Saturdays, so we loaded up our tailgating gear and headed out to try some new brews. They were delicious! We will definitely go back…but maybe next time we'll bring sunscreen. Ouch!By the way, is it football season ...
Clear Eyes. Full Hearts. Can’t Lose.
Chris had to work in Austin this week so I finagled my way into joining for a quick trip up and back. It's such a cool town and not too far away…so why not?Driving into town I saw the "Landing Strip" from my favorite television series of all time. (Yes, it's a strip club…yes, it's by the airport…and yes, I think it has multiple meanings). Anyway, this motivated me to do something I'd been wanting to do since we moved to Texas--track down the filming locations of Friday Night Lights. (What did ...
Way Down Here…
James Taylor's "Mexico" was just one of the many awesome, Kelly-tastic tunes playing at Courtney and Brian's wedding. If I knew how to add a playlist to my blog I would put this on it...but I'm not that blog-savvy, so you'll have to hum :)Well here's Mexico... I want to go back NOW! Last week we spent 4 days in Riviera Maya celebrating Courtney and Brian's wedding! It was a perfect trip and a perfect wedding.One of my favorite parts of the trip was all of the girl time. I rarely get to spend ...
It’s My Party
You know you don't have kids when…You dress your dog up for her 1st birthday.Bake her a special puppy cake.And drive an hour so she can play on the beach. Okay, that was kind of for us, but she still had the time of her life.All in all, it was a dog-gone-good day. We all went to sleep happy.Then today came. Chris goes to work really early, so he always puts Hazel in bed with me when he leaves. Today she immediately jumped off the bed, so I knew she wanted to go outside. I let her out and ...
Royal Hype
I know there are a lot of people out there that are "over" the Royal Wedding. I actually hide every one of my friends that whines about it on facebook. You don't like Kate? We can't be friends. Just kidding...kind of :) I'm not as obsessed with Ms. Middleton as my friend Erica, but I'm still pretty pumped about the wedding in general. Getting to be in London when they were setting up and touring Westminster Abbey pretty much put me in the mood. I'm not going to go out and buy a replica of ...
Easter WEEKend
Easter was a Christmas deja vu. 6 glorious days in KC…full of friends, family and home. It was such a great week, and much like Christmas, I feel like it would be best summarized in pictures. Pictures of my nieces and nephews, that is. Yes, I am in love with them :)First, the things I don't have pictures of…Lunches and dinners with friends were a blast. I'm lucky they allow me to "schedule" them. That's one annoying part about living somewhere else and only having limited time at home...I ...
