How was your weekend? We got hit with some snow this weekend here in Wichita so didn't do a whole lot, but it sure was a nice quiet weekend, sometimes those are the best. I worked pretty late Friday so we grabbed some Chipolte and took it easy. Saturday I did some cleaning then ran to the Natural Grocers open house (snagged lots of free samples, score!), went to my parent's house to watch the WSU

Hope you all have had a great weekend..we woke up to snow here in Wichita this morning. I will say I'm over winter. Honestly, I actually don't think it has been as cold and snowy of a winter that it typically is. I am however looking forward to daylight past 6pm, evening walks with Pat and Buddy, sunshine, dinner on the deck, working in the yard, etc. Ahhhh....only a few more months! As I

Happy Friday All! I don't know about you but I am looking forward to the weekend! I wanted to share a site I recently came across and have become slightly addicted too, Food Babe. Beware, this site is a bit information overload, but oh so interesting. I don't necessarily agree with 100% of all of her opinions, but it sure makes you think about the foods you are putting into your body a bit

I wanted to share with you all one of my favorite Christmas gifts as well as my favorite birthday gift! I received an Erin Condren life planner for Christmas and it was one of my favorite gifts! I am a planner, one that loves organization and routine, and can never have to many sticky notes! I was on the hunt for a 2015 planner but wanted one that was a bit different and unique and would get the

This past week I celebrated turning 29. The common response has been...ooohhh you are getting close to the big 3-0, getting old, etc. etc. In all honesty though, I am SO excited for my 30's and not the least bit dreading it! I am looking forward to all the exciting things that will happen in my 30's- Pat and I will hopefully become parents, we hope to build a new home, my career is at a much

As some may know 2012-2014 were rough for me....in multiple ways. I got myself into a terrible job situation that took a toll on me mentally, physically, and emotionally. One thing lead to another and it began to affect all areas of my life and I became depressed. There were also some other personal struggles along the way and I just didn't understand why? I pushed the people away that cared the

Last weekend we headed south to Tulsa to go see Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood. We went with some of our friends Chris & RaeAnn, Nick & Casey, and Sean. Pat has seen Garth before but it has always been a dream of mine to go too one of his concerts. It made it even better than he was with Trisha this go around, because I LOVE HER! It was a bit of a debacle to get the tickets....

Happy 2015! So hard to believe that 2014 has come to an end, it seems that each year goes by quicker and quicker, while we get older and older. 2014 was a year of ups, downs, highs, lows, twists and turns. Happiness, sadness, tears, frustrations, laughter, blessings, and so much more. I truly believe God sends us through hard times, so we learn to even more appreciate and be thankful for the good

As many of you know, my younger sister Cortney is pregnant with her first child, a baby boy. It seems like just yesterday her and David were tying the knot. You may remember this POST when they got married two years ago. She is due 9/26/14, and our family could not be more excited for Cort and David! This will be Pat and I's first time to be "Aunt and Uncle", this is also the first

Where do I start? Patty and I boy recently got back from one amazing vacation-- Costa Rica! We had been planning this trip for almost a year and there was a lot of anticipation leading up to it, mainly because this was going to be much different than any trip we'd ever been on. Pat and I have traveled quite a bit since we've been married- Aruba, Curacao, Dominican Republic, St. Thomas, St. Martin

It's hard to believe July is nearing an end. I'm trying to think back to what our lives were like in June and I can't even remember, hence to why I blog..so that one day I will be able to look back and have more vivid memories of such great times in our life. We have been blessed with a pretty great summer here in Kansas. The temps have been pretty mild for this time of year, which I'll

Hello! Sooo...my last update was in February, and it's now June- oopsies! It is just crazy how fast the time gets away these days. This just gives me more to try and remember, which these days seems like it gets harder and harder to do. So let's see first things first, in February Pat and I received the best news ever; we were going to be expecting our first niece or nephew in September! I

If you have been following along with Patty and I's lives you know that we Pat has been finishing our basement this past year. When we first moved into our house almost three years ago, there was nothing in the basement besides cement. We had lots of projects we worked on the first year we lived in the house, but the second year was basement year. Within a few months of starting the basement

Life lately... Well it hasn't been too exciting to be honest. Here in Kansas we have gotten lots of snow over the past two weeks, which hasn't melted and the roads haven't been cleared, therefore I become even more of a homebody, but I'm okay with that. I am grateful that we haven't gotten near the amount as some places, but I will say I'm ready to get out of the house! I love to be active so all

Happy 2014! Wow -- how can it be 2014 already!? And how pathetic is it that I have not done a blog post since July.....yes JULY, 6 months ago. Patty boy and I have been blessed in so many ways this past year and are truly beyond thankful for our health, love, family, and friends. Our relationship has grown in so many ways this past year, and I look forward to what 2014 brings us! Thought I'd do

My body loves routine and schedules, so whenever I travel it slightly stresses me out because my body feels "out of whack." I also have to eat every 3-4 hours or you will find Ms. Grumpy -sluggish, hungry, and tired....soo this has made me learn how to travel with some great healthy snack options to keep me energized AND prepared throughout my trip!   1.

Happy Friday Folks! I couldn't be more excited for a weekend at home. Last weekend was almost like a blur it happened so fast, Pat and I headed to Nebraska for his cousin Mandy's wedding bright and early Saturday morning. It was a beautiful wedding and great to see a lot of his family that we don't get to see very much. We had to leave early Sunday morning since it was Father's Day,

  Happy weekend friends! I'm in almost a month now as a Stylist for Stella & Dot and I absolutely love it! Fashion is such a huge passion of mine, so to be able to incorporate it into my life as a "job" has been so fun! My "real" job is extremely stressful to say the least, so to now have something to look forward to has been such a breath of fresh air. I truly believe in

I'm currently enjoying my "me" time that I haven't had much of these days. We don't have a single thing planned for the weekend, and I can't remember that last time this occurred. I'm soaking it in, and wishing this weekend would not end.   I slept in until 8am, O.M.G that felt amazing! I can't remember the last time I did that either! Made the hubs breakfast- We are addicted to

 Welp- I've taken on a new adventure, something I am truly passionate about! Have you heard of this company?? Please tell me yes. I've been obsessed with this stuff for some time now, so finally decided why not sell?! Stella & Dot designs an irresistible line of fashion jewelry and fashion accessories that can be purchased exclusively at home jewelry parties or online. What I really

It's not a big secret that I have a major shopping obsession, which I know stresses my husband out quite a bit. But a girl has to have a hobby right?! So I found this extremely funny when Patty boy told me about his dream the other night-- it went something like this. I came home with a huge shopping bag from Foot Locker, which entailed $880 worth of shoes and I over drafted our checking account-

Boy, is it only Wednesday? I feel like it should be Friday tomorrow. We have a busy weekend ahead of us, moving my little sis home from college and then celebrating Mother's Day, but it will be nice to spend some good time with the fam. Lately, I feel like I have realized much more- family is such a blessing, a blessing that is so easily taken for granted. They are really the only ones who

This past weekend was a complete whirlwind. I had an extremely stressful week at work, what's new though? Absolutely no free time at all. Then Friday we were out of town for a funeral, followed with an extremely long day on Saturday. I helped a friend with a wedding out in McPherson, the wedding was absolutely beautiful, so sad that the weather wasn't nicer, hard to believe its May. I literally

I love my sheltered bubble I live in here in Kansas. After 5 nights in Los Angeles, I definitely was ready to get back to my little world here in Kansas. It's always nice to get away that's for sure, get away from the day to day stress of life, no cleaning/cooking, or worries for the most part. Traveling sure does make me appreciate the little things in life though. It's always nice to get back
