Invitation Samples

I met with the invitation gal, Mary-Catherine, last night. She came up with 4 different invitations looks, trying out different fonts/sizes/monograms/colors/etc.....All were very unique, so many decisions to make on little things I've never thought about before! So, I picked things I liked, & she's going make some new invitations, & see if we can narrow it down! :)

Ozarks 2010!

We spent last weekend in the Ozarks. I know we've been on the go this summer, but we couldn't say no to this weekend. Brent's roommate Matt was turning 30 - as well as celebrating Brent & Dan's birthdays too. It was SOOOO beautiful down there! We had perfect weather & a great time with great friends! We couldn't have asked for more! (well, maybe not a huge biker convention....but it was fun people-watching!)

The boys!
The whole crew: Dan, Katey, Libby, Dave, Jamie, Brent, Antoinette, Matt
The girls!

I'm meeting with an invitation gal on Wednesday to see what she designed for possible invitations. Then, Brent's parents will be here all weekend, & we are taking them to the Deer Creek Open house, to show them our reception site! Fun fun! :)

Happy Birthday, Brent!

We spent a low-key night, celebrating Brent's birthday with just what he wanted: a little Pizza Hut, some Monday Night football, and an oreo pie :)

Happy Birthday to my wonderful fiance! :)
We'll be celebrating some more this weekend in the Ozarks with friends!

Chicago!

Hi all,
For a fun Labor Day mini-vacation, we went to Chicago with our good friends Matt & Brittany. We had 4 great days there with awesome fall weather! We stayed near Michigan Ave. with all the shopping hot spots, & near Lake Michigan - where I got a few beautiful runs in! On Friday we flew in & got to Wrigleyville for a 1:00pm Cubs game. With 2nd row bleacher seats and a Cubs win, you couldn't ask for more :) We had a great time!

Then, we went to the "Nebraska" bar of Chicago to catch the Husker game (& I even coaxed the bartender to get the K-state game on one of the many TV's :) It was a great atmosphere & they even served Runzas at half time! We also ran into some really good friends from the Omaha area, small world. We had a great time, with Husker & Wildcat victories :)


The next few days were more laid back, with a long walk around the city and along the river & lake, a little shopping, some deep dish pizza, and a horse carriage ride around Chicago.

Great trip with great friends, but I was ready to be back in Kansas City!
