Promise!!!

Last weekend was a great time we (Curtis and I) got to see each other and friends. We went to gallery night and saw a lot of fun local art. Then stopped by the Beaux Arts Ball and that was fun. Jimmy, Josie, her sister, Amy, and Philby all tried sushi for the first time. They all were intrigued, but Philby was the only one who would try our raw sushi. The others had California rolls and a dragon roll. Curtis took quite a liking to sushi when we went to visit my brother in Cali last May. Rick’s roommate is a sushi chief, and quite a GREAT one!!! Anyways… Then we proceeded out on the town and found out that Kansas City is open till 3 am; that is way too late for me! I must be getting old. HA HA…

We went to the Nelson-Adkins’ Museum. It was quite enjoyable and worth the trip. For dinner we had Minskie’s, a little Italian pizzeria. GOOD>>> CHEESE. I ate way too much because it was sooo delicious. Good times. The next day we went shopping, I got Curtis a much needed NEW pair of Oakley’s for our fist year gift. They look great on him. He got me flowers, candy and some very nice cute pants. The plaza was very nice, but then I had to drive him to the airport. Man that was not fun!!!

Had a cit on Monday; then I came down with the flu!!! BOOOO. I pretty much slept for three days. Skipped studio, and other classes in efforts to try and get better. Being ill by one's self is a horrible experience. No one is there to take care of you or care that you are suffering. This is ONE of the only major down falls to living on your own. I like living on my own for the most part. I do not like having to deal with illness on my own. I didn’t even feel like going to the store to get food or medicine that I needed. It is bad enough to be sick without your mom there, but with no one… man. You start to realize “through sickness and health” really means more than you could hope just a promise.

I had a marketing test today and the test was simple but very deceiving. Trick questions should not be allowed in an educational setting unless it is for a magician’s school. By the way magician is a weird word.

Luckiest!

This weekend I am going to KC for Curtis and mine’s first year anniversary. This is a huge deal for us. I have never felt like staying with a guy that long until Curtis came along. We are going to go to Friday Night Gallery and Beaux Arts Ball. We are going to hang out with Curtis’ sister Amy, Jimmy, and Matt. So it is going to be a busy weekend. TO start it out my perfect boyfriend sent me a dozen orchid stems. They are White and Perfect and smell amazing. I just am completely HAPPY.

My sister and her family have trekked across the country and are visiting my parents now. They are having a lot of fun. At least it looks like it. The kids are getting sooo big! Little people…

Disneyland FUN!

Jonny has a new best friend!

Kaitlyn has high Aspirations!

HALLOWEEN! BOO!

Jonny might have you walk the plank.

For Halloween Sally and I were pixies… It was just a good excuse to look cute. BUT I did do a little bit of research on pixies, because it became a debate on what the difference between pixies, fairies, and nymphs were. A Fairy is an imaginary supernatural being, usually resembling a small person, with magic powers. The difference, according to the sources I had, were that Pixies are smaller than fairies (4” vs. 5”), but unlike fairies they can morph to human size and are more powerful and mischievous. Pixies can not fly while in their large morphed state their wings morph into their back. But they have wing when they are small and can fly. They are not green but when small have a green aura and like to wear green. Nymphs they are small fairy like but usually don't have clothes on. Nymph is a sprit of nature; a minor goddess or spirit of nature in mythology, inhabiting areas of natural beauty such as woods, mountains, and rivers and traditionally regarded as a beautiful young woman. Now you know something you might not have.
Sally worked and won the costume contest at her work. She was very adorable; even had fun shoes. Sorry no pictures of that I still need to get a camera. So I am going to pack for KC, you all have an amazing weekend!
