Day of Silence

Today I'm doing a day of silence (no blog post) to support a family who recently lost their baby boy to heart problems. I can't even begin to imagine their pain as they bury him today.

Take Me Out To The Ballgame

Last night Joe and I met a group of friends at a Minor League baseball game! 

 And we had hot dogs all around for dinner! (and sunflower seeds and boy, those pretzels looked good too....)

It was so hot that I gave up on the prospect of cute hair and went for braids and a baseball cap. I wanted to look like this

but felt more like this. Ha! 

This Friday is my last day of my job! I've been dealing with turning in my computer and some other equipment I had - it feels good to get it over with! I'll have about 7 weeks totally off before I start school. And Joe is officially now doing anesthesia full time! Big changes! :)

Happy Wednesday!!

Random

Today I have a bunch of random thoughts in my mind! Who am I kidding, my thoughts are usually totally random. I think if you could hear what's going on inside my head you would be a little scared for me! Ha!

1. I would love to have a 4th of July party like this. Our wedding anniversary is the 3rd and we purposefully chose the day right before the 4th of July because it's my favorite holiday and you usually have a long weekend! Plus, we have the advantage of fireworks every year on our anniversary!! But I would still love to have a 4th of July party!!

2. I read on a blog somewhere that someone was doing a hotdog themed birthday party for their toddler and thought that was such a cute and unique idea!!

3. Speaking of hotdogs, tonight Joe and I are going to a AAA baseball game here in town. I think I've mentioned this before, but stadium food is one of my major food groups!

4. The other day we drove over to the university where I'm starting graduate school in August. So excited!

5. Are you watching the World Cup? I don't mind soccer but what is that noise??? I thought Joe had turned on a documentary about killer bees. I've never been so glad to have a Mute button on the t.v.!

Well, that's a slice of my thoughts for the day.

Happy Tuesday!!

Birthday Extravaganza

My weekend was packed full of birthdays! Is this a major birthday weekend among your friends and family too or is it just me? Ha! Friday afternoon I drove to Kansas City to celebrate my friend Shawna's birthday (we've been best friends since we were 11 years old). I planned for a group of girls to go to dinner at Olive Garden and then see a musical at the outdoor theater. It was awesome but OH THE HEAT. I think even my eyelids were sweating! 

We had the BEST group of girls - I love girls night!

Then on Saturday my family celebrated my nephew's 9th birthday. Which is weird because I know for a fact he was born yesterday! I was there! Ha!

My sister sure does make cute kids!

Do you see any resemblance? ;-) 

I had SUCH a great weekend! I'm always happiest around my friends and family so I had a lot of happy this weekend!!!

How was your weekend??

Gone

No blog post today because I'm in Kansas City for a couple of Birthday parties and fun with friends and family! (I have a feeling cake will be involved!)

Happy Friday!!! I'll be back on Monday with pics!

Guess What Broke...

Yesterday I was excited because I needed to get out and do some shopping for birthday gifts. But OH THE HEAT! My car said it got up to 101 degrees. That's about forty degrees above my personal comfort level! Ha!

When I got home I noticed it seemed a little hot in our house so I went to look at the thermostat...

Our air conditioner gave out. I think it took one look at the upcoming forecast of 100 degree days and rolled over and died. Don't you start to sweat just thinking about it?? Of course Joe was on call last night so I was left to my own devices. Which included a very complicated maneuver I'd like to call turn it off and then back on. You're going to be shocked when I tell you this, but that didn't work so I called in the big guns. An "HVAC Specialist" should be here today.

But let me show you the piece of happy I found today at Famous Footwear. Keds! Y'all remember Keds, right? Well, I'm bringing them back in a BIG WAY! I feel so Kelly Kapowski in them :) I know they're not everyone's cup of tea but I love them!

Don't worry, I won't be getting any parachute pants or scrunch socks to go with them! Ha!

I'll post the winner of the Spin Pins later today!
