Baby Piper

Carver and I made a fast, yet fun road trip yesterday to Kansas City!! One of my best friends Audrey, finally had her little princess! Piper Elizabeth was born at 10:37 pm and was 7 lbs, 6 oz, 18 in. Audrey and I have been friends for a very long time and been through so much together. Getting to see her become a mom was one of the most wonderful things I can imagine for her. She was glowing yesterday and so incredibly happy! Her husband Josh is fantastic and they are just going to be the most wonderful parents to Piper. To see one of my best friends so happy is the best feeling in the world...boyfriends came and went for both of us, long distance phone calls with tears often happened, road trips to visit each other in college and time spent together back in our hometown of Dighton was always fun! I look back on our friendship and I treasure memories more now then I ever did before. Not just with Audrey but with the girlfriends I have been friends with as long or even longer. I wish all my friends happiness, smiles for the rest of their life and love to always keep them smiling. Good friends are hard to come by and I feel so very blessed and lucky to know who my true friends are! I wish all the best to the Raines family and I can't wait to watch Piper grow up into a little lady in the years to come! I also get to spoil here and there is nothing Audrey can do about it :-)

I Get So Far Behind...

I know I say this every time but I can't believe I haven't wrote since December!!! I am going to try so hard to at least blog once a week lol I think I can do it! Well it is now March 2010!!! So far 2010 is going great for The Ostmeyers! We are both blessed with each other, amazing jobs that we both love so much, family who is healthy and great friends. Spring is upon us and I am so very ready for nice, beautiful warm weather. Ready to see the green grass, trees and flowers in bloom and the warm sun. I miss the lake, BBQ's, and sitting on the patio with a cold class of Pinot Grigio. I think the rest of Kansas feels the same way I do!! Carver and I are planning a few Vacations this summer and we are both so excited for them to get here! In May/June we will be heading to Florida with his family. Family vacations are always so much fun and we just have the best time! Disney World and a beautiful Resort is what we have to look forward to. Oh I wish it was not 2 months away....Hurry Up Summer!! There is so much going on this Summer and I am anxious for it to get here! Carver and I are anxiously awaiting the arrival of one of our best friends babies! She is due any day now and I can hardly stand it!!! We will be in a car headed to KC as soon as I get the call. Miss Piper will be spoiled by Aunt Cherina and I can't wait to welcome her into the world. Carver and I are so happy for Audrey and Josh and just can't wait to see them all very soon. Well so far 2010 is not just going great for us but friends and family of ours is happy and healthy!

Holiday Cheer 2009

Nothing makes me happier then Christmas Time!! I love the lights, the food, the traditions, the gifts, the music....I LOVE it all!! My house is all decorated, from top to bottom in white lights, silver sparkly decorations, greenery, two trees (its true) and special hand me downs from my mom and grandmas. I take a look around my house and I cant help but be a little overwhelmed with emotions. My life is good and I am so thankful everyday for our families, friends and the things we have. I have a beautiful house, wonderful puppies, the most amazing and wonderful family and in-laws I could ever wish for and good health of my loved ones. This is a time of family and love and I am so happy to have so many wonderful people in my life I love and who love me. It has been a wonderful year, there are always sad times, hard time to get through but we survive and it is always exciting to see what the future holds. I pray it is a wonderful year to come for all those I love, care about and for Carver and I. Carver and I had pictures taken with our beloved Basset Hound Frisbee and Black Lab Carlee for our Christmas Pictures. My little family is perfect and I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. Happy Holidays to all my friends!!

Time Needs To Slow Down...

Wow it has been another 6 months or so since my last blog!! I really really need to get better at this! I guess time has just gotten away from me again. I truly have been very busy! Lots has been happening in the Ostmeyer world. For starters, after I ran my 5K I took time off from working and decided I wanted to make some changes. I decided I wanted to go back to school...Esthetician School!! Carver and I did research on some of the best schools in Wichita and only one had my heart right away. Eric Fisher Academy. So from the end of April I started and I just graduated the end of September!! I graduated with many special Honors in which I am soooo proud of! It was the best and most amazing thing I have ever done in my life. Don't get me wrong, going to college and getting that four year degree is something I am very proud of as well but my growing love and passion for skin care has already made me love the industry! I have found my calling and what I want to do the rest of my life. I had the most amazing support from our famlies and our friends! Right before I graduated I found a job at a Salon/Spa called Salon Bella! I start next Tuesday and am absolutely ready to start this new journey in my life and I cant wait to see where it takes me and what the future holds! So that has really been the main thing going on in my life right now. It took up a lot of my time, studying and what not so maybe now I will have more time to be on here :-) A little fun is always had by us of course...In July we went to VEGAS for 7 days to celebrate our 5 Year Wedding Anniversary!! It was incredible!! We had so much fun and are ready to head back! Carver is working harder and harder everyday with getting another store open so that keeps him busy. We are about three weeks away from Opening Weekend and he lets me know it every day!! I love to go hunting as well but he has it counted down to the seconds he gets to get out there in the open fields and shoot. Also it is that time of year where we are planning our KU Basketball trips to Lawrence and the games we are going to! My favorite time of the year :-) Other than that life is WONDERFUL!!!

Crazy Life....

Wow, again it has been a few since I have been on here...time seems to get away from me much more than it used too. Things in our lives have been super busy and super CRAZY to say the least! Not really wanting to get into the details, however I did finish my first 5K!!! It was the most challenging and rewarding completion (besides graduating college) I have ever done! It was amazing and I can't wait to do more!! I was lucky to get to compete with two good friends of mine, my Carver and family was there waiting for me to cross the finish line and the support I received from family and friends was overwhelming. The day we ran it was rainy, cloudy and cold! By the end of the race I was peeling layers off and the sun was shining! The following week Kansas had its first Blizzard of the year and Wichita got 4inches of snow...thats Kansas for you! Anyways, i think I am going to end there. Here are a few pics from the race :-)

Training For My First 5k!!

It is no secret that I love sports, working out, weights, elliptical, treadmill, golf, kickboxing, volleyball, basketball, step classes whatever it is I love to be in shape and doing things for my body!! Running is a huge passion of mine and I am excited to have finally gained courage enough to do my first 5k!! Starting small...lol I have been training and working really hard on this achievement and can't wait to share the experience with a good friend of mine! Carver has been so supportive and knowing he will be there to cheer me on, give me water and maybe catch me as I cross the finish line is what is keeping me going! He supports everything I do from my modeling to this! He is incredible!! I am really excited and I know I am going to want to do more and more and more!! Am I going to feel Ike that day when I ran track...the nerves before the gun goes off and then the joy of having finished and finishing good?!? I am not gonna lie... I have those nerves...I was Diagnosed with Celiac Disease one year ago in February and that has been the hardest thing to understand and deal with. Although I feel like a completely better person it has been a struggle for me to find the right foods to fuel myself because I do workout so much. And the crabs that help fuel most runners I can not have. Since being diagnosed and being gluten free my fatigue has been worse and I have had to work harder to over come that and become stronger. AND I HAVE!! For me personally and me only this is something I am so proud of! I will not come close to winning that race in a few weeks, but in my heart, mind and with God, family & friends there I will feel like I have won and I absolutely can not wait!! I'll let you know what happens on the 21st....

Hard For Me To Understand....

My parents, brother and husband are owners of Little Caesars pizza. They work extremely hard to make our business successful, profitable to our families and for our future. They love owning this business!! Who wouldn't love to own a pizza busines :-) Our stores are doing very well and that is great! What I am having a very hard time understanding is with the way our economy is right now, why our employess today don't appreciate what is done for them, what is given to them, what they have and why they think jobs are no big deal!!! Carver has fired 8 kids this last week!! For the dumbest reasons...my car wouldn't start, it's my moms birthday I need the day off, my children are sick, I forgot....whatever the reason they are give 3 excused absents and then after that they are let go! I think that is pretty reasonable and fair! I am a born and raised Western Kansas girl and I am so proud of that! I was taught at a very young age to work hard, be driven for what you want and make your selof sucessful! I have lived in Wichita for 4 years and though I love it here and love the city life, I am shocked when my husband comes home with a new story about how an employee called in and said they couldn't make it to work. I had my first job when I was 12 years old, a babysitter for two wonderful kids! Making money was a great feeling! I worked hard at it and today I am 28 and I love my job! My parents made my brother and I work! We wanted a job and we wanted to make our own money! They wanted it to teach us responibility and give us an understanding for how the "real world" works! In our hometown having a job and working was just what every high school kid did! Ya my homwtown was 1200 people and therre was not a lot to do but the community loved having the local kids work in their establishemts. We all worked, made money and spend out earnings how we wished! It was great! The kids that we hire are not making a lot of money, most of them are high school drop outs, some of them are the only ones in the famlies with a job and a way of income! I have seen my dad give more then a handful of kids money out of his own pocket to help them out!! Then they turn around and don't show up to work! And they still don't show up, give lame exscuses and use my parents, brother and husband! I was just sitting her at my desk here at work and I looked up ot the window, there was a frail man with a Dillions jacket on walking in our front office door. He had to have been at least 75 years old. The wind is blowing, he was carrying a vase of flowers and he was struggeling to open the door. I jumped up from my desk and ran to the door to help him. The flowers were for a lady next door and I told him I would talk them to her! "Oh thank you so much he said" I told him to have a great day and he went back out in to the cold, windy weather. This is where I started thinking.....here is this 75 year old man working for Dillions as a delivery driver who I am sure had his first job at a very young age...and is still working today! To me that is imspiring! And then I have to watch my family fire employess who could careless if they are fired or let fo from their job!! Its heart rinching, these employess have no drive or work ethic to hold a job and better themselves in the world!! When these employess dont't show up it makes my family work even hard, schedule interviews, and go in on their time! I know that is just part of Owning your own business and that in someway is ok to me...but what makes me so sad is knowing they don't care about anything!! From the day I was born both my parents had their own business! My dad a reatraunt/bar and my mom her own Beauty Shop. I was raised with my dad missing a dance recital, basketball/volleyball game or band concert because he had to be at the restraunt...But he ALWAYS made it up to me and NEVER missed the next one! Our economy is in a horrible state right now and a job is a job! These kids need to wake up and realize that life is hard, life is unfair but you better grow up and deal with it!

Fun Jayhawk Weekend....

As most of you know Carver and I are on the go all the time!! We love to travel, have fun where ever we are and be with our friends!! This last weekend was no exception!! We went to Lawrence to the KU game with one of my best friends since we were little! It was a great time and even though Carver and I travel to Lawrence A LOT for KU Football & Basketball games, going with friends is always a good time!! Spending time in Lawrence at Allen Field House is one of Carver and I's most favorite places to be together :-) We are going again this Saturday and it will be another special game...We are taking Carver's mom and little brother to their first KU game! I am super excited and love that we have the opportunity to take them. They will never forget it and I absolutely can not wait to see Kasen's little smiling face when we walk into the field house. I have made him into quit the little Jayhawk fan....and I love it!! Other than that is was a great weekend and I just feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends. They mean the world to me and spending time with friends and those you love should be a priority in every ones life!
Rock Chalk!!

I have been off here almost a year...what?!?!

I forgot I had this in my crazy busy life and I just logged back on and was reading my last blog I wrote. A year ago!!! I lost my puppy of 15 years, sweet baby JR!! Sunday was one year since he has been gone and I miss him everyday. So this is going to be short and sweet but I am back and I promise to write more :-)

R.I.P My Sweet JR

I am writing on only a few hours of sleep but I feel and have this over powering sensation to write my feelings. What I am writing about has been actually over the 15 years or so......my family is loosing our precious lab JR. For the last few years we have known he was very old and this time would soon be coming but it has come to soon.
I remember it is as if it were yesterday.......It was summer time and Justin, "my first boyfriend" called and told me his puppy had finally had her puppies and there was a black one just for me to give to my brother, who was wanting a "black lab to hunt with". I was so excited I rode my bike ( a few blocks) over to his house to see the puppies. I had to hurry though cause we were leaving for Scott City cause I was playing softball that night. I picked out JR, he was a male and the only black one that was born. Months later we were able to bring JR home and Austin had a brand new puppy!
This was 15 years ago! We were a "dog family" actually we were an all animal family. Justin in also gave me cat...haha I'll always remember that too! As the years went by JR grew, and grew, and grew some more. He was the largest, biggest dog in all of Dighton. He was the most love able, sweetest, caring and gentle dog ever. He was very protective of our house and of our family. He had a loud and very deep bark that actually scared people. We knew he wouldn't hurt a fly! He went hunting every time with Austin and my dad, he was there with us through high school and then as we went on to college. He was always there! The night my dad had his heart attack he actually woke me up before my dad even came into the house. It was like he knew. He was a very very smart dog. The the day came where my parents decided to move out of Dighton and to the city of Wichita. To start a new business. How would JR react to this was the first thing we all thought of? Would he adjust to "city life" okay? He did and he loved it here as much as we have.
In Dighton, my dad would always go to the Kwik Shop for a donut and coffee and well he would take JR along with him. He did not ride like a normal dog....have any of the Morris dogs been normal? No, my dad put him from the time he was little to the time when he was 230 pounds and huge, right in the passenger front seat of his pickup, and off they went to the Kwik Shop. Where dad got his donut and coffee and he always came out with a hot dog in the bun with ketchup for JR. This was an everyday thing. Of course where I grew up everyone knows everyone and so they all knew in the afternoon Bear would be coming with JR for a hot dog. That silly tradition carried over when they moved here to Wichita....up until a year ago dad and JR went to QT and got their fixes.
So, for the last couple months we have seen drastic changes in our sweet JR. I myself tried not to think about it cause it was not real to me if I did not think about it. Then your phone rings and you get that call..... yesterday I had a doctors appointment so I left work early. Went to the doctor and then went to work out. It was early so I finished working out earlier then normal. As I was almost home my brother calls me and says I should go over to mom and dads that JR is not good. Last Monday before we left for Lawrence for the KU game we got the news that he had Thyroid Cancer. And pretty much his whole body was cancer. But amazingly his heart was still so strong for his age the Vet could not believe it. His heart would be the last thing to go. I came home, got Carver and for 5 hours yesterday we sat with him. My parents were not going to put him down unless he started suffering so the vet gave my dad some pills that would make him "comfortable" and to where he could feel no pain and he could go at home with us. Well, the pills the first time did not work and I witnessed my dog have four seizers. It was the most horrible, saddest thing I have ever seen in my life. I'll never be able to get those images out of my head. I was not going to leave but they made me.
I have lost both sets of my grandparents, several friends, cousins, my father-in-law and three dogs.....and human or animal it all hurts the same way. It hurts so damn bad! So, in the end what do we understand. Well, I LOVE dogs and I will continue to have them in my life and someday in my children's life. My experiences and the things I remember from growing up with all my dogs are my best memories. They bring us so much happiness and then like anything we have to say good bye. I have watched my parents and my brother suffer through this for the last three days and it is so hard. So, today a decision will be made by our family and either one is the right one I believe. God Bless Jr and his 15 amazing years as a Morris. You will be missed!

Not to much new with us....... Just thought I better post something since I haven't since December....sorry! Things here in Wichita are good. We are staying busy with work. We have been going to KU basketball games here and there. We love it and always have so much fun when we go. We went to the Big Monday night game on the 14th)KU/OK & took my parents. They had not been to a game since I went to school there so they were pretty excited to go back! We had a blast & ending up meeting up with a few of my parents really good friends Dighton at one of my favorite bars in Lawrence & had a blast! Of course, the game was so much fun & to be there with my parents made it even more special. We are hoping to get to at least one more but we have so many things going on I don't know if we will get to or not. We are busy planning summer vacation, booking flights for that in July (we are hoping) depending on another pizza store opening & then as of right now we already have 6 weddings....I love wedding season but it seems like every summer we have 6-10 weddings and it makes our summers go by so fast. But one of them is my best friend from high school & they are getting married out in SaraSota Florida so that one will be a great time!!!! We are planning the trip with another one of my best friends from high school. So to get to go out there with her, spend four days in Florida for a great reason, is something we are really looking forward to in May! Other then that I am just waiting for the warm weather to get here already & be able to be outside again soon. I hope things are good with everyone out there & life is treating you all well. Oh, I wanted to say to that my childhood friend Leslie & her newborn son are doing better & he is out of the hospital. He had a pretty rough first week or two in the new world. So glad he is doing better Les & I will continue to think of your family!

Well, another Christmas season is past & my family sure had a nice one. Mom, Austin & I drove out to Dighton (our hometown) for four days to spend with my Aunt & Uncle who still live there & my cousins. It was nice to go back, see friends that I hadn't seen in a long time and spend the days just lounging around being with family & of course eating!! Being back is always great & there will always be something about a persons home town that is very special. I have so many many wonderful memories there, as well as some that are not so good....haha But, as I went out with a few friends from my class that I have known since pre-school we talked, caught up with what was going on in each of our lives, I realized just how special my hometown & my memories from there really are. Carver & my dad drove out to Dighton Christmas Eve morning. We all went to candle light church service at the church I grew up going to. Christmas Eve night & attending the church service Christmas Eve night with all our family was & still is one of my best memories of Christmas. It was always so special & so magical on that night. This was the first time we have been back there since Carver & I have been married so to take him there & share that with him was very special to me. Of course we get to open presents too!! This year we did a white elephant gift exchange which was a lot of fun!! Christmas morning we woke to my 10 year old cousin getting the presents she had asked for!! Also, she pulled her tooth the night before so she also had a visit from the tooth fairy too!! We had another gift exchange that morning and it was really nice. We ate lunch and then it was time to hit the road & head back to the city we all love, Wichita. I need the city life!!!!! We were having Christmas at my parents house so we needed to get back. We went there & had prolly one of the nicest Christmas's I've ever had!!! My dad made us all martini's, we had great food, more martini's, lots of gifts, played a few games, relaxed & laughed & laughed!! It was a wonderful wonderful Christmas!! But ours is not over just yet.....we are heading out to Carver's home town (Quinter) next weekend to be with his family. So back out to Western Kansas again!! I love spending time with carver's family, we always have so much fun together!! So, with the end of 2007 almost here it has been a pretty great year. I just feel so blessed to have had such a wonderful year & can only hope & pray that 2008 is just as wonderful!!!

Hustel & Bustle Of The Holiday Season

The last few days before Christmas are upon us and the insane rush has started to affect me. Carver and I went out last Sunday afternoon and we went to several stores. We had fun laughing, picking gifts out, toys for our nieces and nephew, and just taking our time. It went so smoothly in fact I looked at Carver and said" I can't believe how easy we are getting everything and how we are finding exactly what we want." Well, I spoke wayyyyy to soon. Thought we had everything and we were finished. We went home, sat by the fire, I wrapping gifts, Carver watching football and then we came to realize....we had forgot this, and well maybe we should go back and get that, and lets get that one thing we say too....ughhhhhh So, now I have to go back to the mall tonight and finish up! On top of that, I am needing to make my famous sugar cookies with frosting. Every year since I was in high school I have made sugar cookies with my Grandma Morris's "secret" recipe. I was waiting this year to make them cause I usually make them the week before Christmas and then they are all gone. So, I figured I would wait a few days before so we would have some to eat on Christmas.....I'm running out of time now!!! My mom loves watching me and helping decorate so we decided she would come over tomorrow night and we would make them together.Ok, so the cookies are covered.....This year, for the first time since my Grandma Betty passed away we are going back to my hometown to have Christmas. It is going to be a really special time for my family but emotional as well. We are all really looking forward to it. Spending Christmas with my cousins is how I grew up, special traditions we looked forward to every year, and just being together was what was so important to all of us. It all kind of stopped when we lost our grandma. We also all grew up, my family moved away from the small town and we all have our own families now. So, this will be a very special Christmas in Dighton. But have I packed yet.....not one single thing. And if you know me, then you know I am an over packing, organized crazy woman!! And we are leaving around noon on Friday. So I am worried about that too!!! I love this time of year and now as I am sitting here, drinking my Starbucks latte I am thinking how much the running around and the hustle and bustle of the holiday season I actually like. It keeps you going and makes the days shorter up to the 25Th!! So, I will run to the mall over my lunch break, see what I can get done in an hour, get my hair and nails done after work, go home wrap more gifts, make sugar cookies tomorrow night, pack, and leave Friday.......whoohoooo I am really going to enjoy when Friday arrives! Hope all of you are having as much fun running around as I am this holiday season. Don't forget to stop, look around, count your blessings this Christmas and have a very Merry one!! Happy Holidays!!

Starting to feel like Christmas

I spent all day yesterday folding our Christmas letter, putting the pictures in the envelopes, addressing envelopes, and putting stamps on them! I still have several I need to do yet though. Every year our list grows with more and more people!! I love getting Christmas cards from our friends and family. I love reading what everyone has been up too for the last year and the new and exciting things in their lives. I went out and did a little shopping on Saturday. It was total madness!!!!! There were so many people, it was not even fun!! My mom and I always do our shopping together. It is something I have always done with her and I look forward to shopping for Christmas with her during the holidays!! I have only got a few things bought so I still have a lot to do. This year we be with my family. It will be the first time since my Grandma Betty passed aways that we will be back in my hometown for Christmas. The last time we were back for Christmas there was when she passed away 6 days later. I expect it to be an emotional time with my family. But we are all looking forward to it. It will just be a lot different that's for sure.

Turkey Day!

Well, Thanksgiving is a few days away......& I am running around like a crazy person trying to get things ready to leave to go to my mother-in-laws in Quinter. Laundry, packing, getting the puppies things ready to go to my parents, re-packing cause Carver takes clothes out of his suite case & making food to take. I am sitting her at work & all these thoughts of things I still need to do and get done before we leave are running around in my head....so work has pretty much stopped for the day...lol I love the holidays & it always gets me to thinking about being younger & all the fantastic memories I have of Thanksgiving. There is always one memory that will always haunt me though. In 2001 my dad had massive heart attack that almost took his life the day after Thanksgiving. From that day forward I always told myself I would treasure every holiday with my family and friends as if it would be our last. I have done just that. I lost my my grandma Betty New Years Eve night too. Every holiday, everyday like, like it is the last! Thanksgiving is a special time because of what happened that year, & every year that is the number one thing I am always most thankful for. I am so thankful that my dad recovered & is still with us today. So, we will head to Q~Town tomorrow when I get off work. When we get there carver's sisters, his mom, little brother, our nieces & nephew will be waiting for us, we will have some drinks, make a few plates of nachos , laugh & enjoy being together. I hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving & create many wonderful memories as we will do the same. God Bless & love you all. Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Getting ready for the Holidays!!

Well, my family thinks I have officially lost my mind....I got out all my Christmas Decorations this weekend!!!! I absolutely love Christmas!!!! Not only is decorating my most favorite thing to do anyways, but decorating for Christmas is something I love to do and I have since I was little! I have everything out & scattered through the entire house. Carver helped me bring everything up from the basement in between commercials of the college football games. I know most people wait till the day after Thanksgiving to get their Christmas stuff out but I first of all am not most people & second, my house is very big so by the time I get it all out, decorated the way I want it & we are able to enjoy it for a few weeks then it is time to take it all down. So.....why not be able to enjoy it a little longer and take my time in putting it all up :-) We are putting up the tree tonight and the other big things I can't do by myself. We have special traditions that we started our first Christmas together and we do them every year on the night we put the tree up. So I am really looking forward to tonight. It is hard to believe it is almost that time!! I hope you all are starting to get in the Holiday spirit too. Thanksgiving is just around the corner!!! My mom & I spent all day Saturday shopping. It was INSANE at the mall.....already!!! So much that there were a few stores we just could not get into and left.....haha I love shopping for Christmas gifts but that was just so crazy! But you can bet we will be right back out there in a few weeks!!

It's Almost Halloween....

It is hard to believe that Halloween is just around the corner. My husband and I were out to dinner a few nights ago & over our Buffalo Wild Wing supper & large Coors lights we were talking about our Halloween Costumes this year and the party we are going to this Saturday night. My husband is from Quinter, KS which means we grew up about 4o minutes away from each other. So, both of us are from extremely small towns and pretty much grew up the same way. I said to Carver, "honey when we have children it is going to be weird to not let them go all over our neighborhood and trick or treat like we used to. So this started a conversation and we both stated reminiscing about being young in a small town, going tall over trick-or-treating with our friends and having so much fun with no worries! Then, in Junior High we would get shaving cream & eggs...which (I never threw eggs), Carver did...haha I love the way I grew up and being from a small town. I look back now and really appreciate it. You can't do that anymore, especially in the City of Wichita. We were talking about what we had dressed up as when we were little & how we both always looked forward to going to school dressed. Here in Wichita, the kids can't dress up and go to school.....that was always the best part about Halloween!! Going to school all dressed up, having a party that are moms would help with in the afternoon, & getting out of school for the parade down main street was so much fun and we all looked forward to it every year! The kids can't do that anymore. I am not even sure if they do that in Dighton anymore? Things sure have changed. I feel so lucky to have got to experience things like that. I love Halloween, the candy, dressing up and another excuse to party :-) I hope everyone has a wonderful Halloween & is safe!

End Of The Season

Well, the end of Trinity Knights Volleyball is coming to an end tonight. I am coaching the last game tonight with my JV girls. There is a part of me always torwards the end of the season where I get a little emotional and think about what I am going to do now not going to practice everyday and then I look back.......I will get to stay at work till 5 now and get caught back up on my work and projects that have taken a little bit of a back seat since August, I will now have my evenings back where I can start working out again, spending time with Carver and our puppies and watching t.v., and the best I think of all.....No More Teenage Girl Drama! Hahaha, I love my girls but wow....I don't think I was ever like that ;-0 Oakay maybe we all were... So the season ends and another year of coaching is behind me. I love coaching, I love the school I coach for and the head coach and her assistant are the best woman I have met since living her in Wichita. Just wonderful and friendly people. So, hopefully we can put 4 wins in the bag tonight and end the season with a great record! Go Knights!

I'm getting there.....

Hey, I figured how to get a picture up finally!! It is Saturday and so I had some extra time away from doing laundry so I decided I was going to set down and I was not getting up till I got this silly thing figured out!!! Still a little confused on some things but I will get it figured out. Well, it is just a typical Saturday around the house today. I am doing laundry, my puppies are out in the backyard playing in the nice cool morning weather and Carver is over at the store. I have plans to do a little cleaning, get our guest bathroom on the second level primed so maybe I can paint color tomorrow!!! And then if the day allows I would love to go tan and workout...but we will see I guess. Hope you all have a great Saturday!!!!

I will write more.....just so busy

I have been slacking off a little bit...I am sorry. I need to write more on here. And I think about it, get ready to sit down and write and then I get busy, or someone calls, or I need to change the laundry or the dogs need in....ughhh I could go on and on. I will I promise!!!
