Day 11: Shelby and JD

Oh Shelby and JD. Probably the two weirdest people I've ever met. and that's why I love them. They can instantly put a smile on my face, but they're also both really good at telling me when I'm being an idiot. They're so in love and it's so beautiful to see. I don't know what I would do without them!

Colorado

With the busy summer my whole fam had and the fact that we haven't taken a vacation in a really long time, we decided to head to Colorado for Labor Day Weekend. We have some cousins out there that are getting "up there" in age and we hadn't seen them in a while. I headed back to RC Thursday night and we left early Friday morning. We made a pit stop in Omaha to pick up Shelby and JD. It was quite a leisurely drive and it seemed like it took us FOREVER to get there. We eventually made it and had a great couple days together. Here are some photos:

GORGEOUS. 

Dude knows how to travel. 

My daddy :) 

Dinner Dance

Saturday, March 17 was the Rockwell City Rotary Club's annual Dinner Dance. My mom is the president of the club, so she planned pretty much the whole thing. We spent Saturday morning and afternoon baking desserts and setting up tables for the event. Both of my sisters came home for the night and the whole family (minus Kaden and Connor) attended the event. We ALWAYS have a great time. We kept that tradition up! Some photos from the day:

Setting up: Kaden was a big help in moving the walls! 

We had some down time, so Kaden and JD hung out in the chair. :) 

Love them. 

My sisters made me put on this hat. They thought it would be a perfect fit because I have a tiny head...

There are MANY more photos from the night that I will soon be posting to Facebook. :) 

Spring Break!

I'm mashing this all into one post-I won't go into much detail. On the Sunday we flew out, we drove to Omaha and had lunch with Shelby & JD. Shelby so generously lent me the last 2 Hunger Games books. YES. I think you can figure out what I did all week... :) We had a peaceful direct flight to Phoenix and the lovely Josiah was there to greet us when we arrived. We grabbed some grub and headed to his place. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday were filled with shopping (yay), eating, reading, and sitting by the pool in the sun. It was, well, AWESOME. It was so relaxing and fun. Such a great week with Zac. Friday we got up and climbed North Mountain. Yep, you read that right. I climbed a mountain. It gave me a splendid insight on how out of shape I am. Yikes. We headed to the airport. The journey home was not as short. We had about an hour layover in Denver and flew back in to Omaha around 12:30am. We(Zac) drove all the way back home. Here's some pics from the week. Zac HATES getting his picture taken...

These were taken on Tuesday night when we went
to Rock Bottom for supper. YUM!

This was at Mellow Mushroom on Wednesday night. John (left) is who Josiah lives with in Phoenix.

Thursday night we went downtown Phoenix. We ate some delicious pizza and fantastic crêpes.

 The view from the top of North Mountain. So beautiful! (even though I'm not usually a fan of nature)

And at the top we saw chipmunks. They were not afraid of us. They were so cute!! 

And that was my Spring Break in Phoenix. :)

February 20

Mooooooooooonday. <---- that's how long my day felt. I got up and went to work out at the Union. I came back, showered, ate some delectable Honey Nut Cheerios, and went to class. In my writing class we did a revision exercise-YES. I love grammar. My brother-in-law JD calls me a nerd for that, but he's the one currently assembling his own computer........ :) French class was awesome, as always. Flavia can always brighten my day. I took every chance I got today to read more in my book. I just want to finish it but I have a busy week so I should probably get all the sleep I can. I worked from 3-7, mostly in Customer Service, which I've never been officially "trained" in, but I know how to do most of the stuff back there...so my supervisor always has me help out if the line is long-which is fine because I actually sorta...like customer service. I walked out of Kohl's and it was a bit windy and chilly, but there was no precipitation. I parked my car and the minute I stepped out to walk back to my building-SNOW. or RAIN. I'm not quite sure what it was actually, but it was cold and wet and blowing everywhere and it made the walk MISERABLE. I made it back to the dorm, repacked my bag, and headed to the Union for our CAC meetings. Our executive meeting was record time-less than an hour. Sweet! I can actually get to bed at a decent time tonight. Awesome. :)


We got new name tags at Kohl's......apparently 4 months equals a year......?

Today is national Hoodie Hoo Day. I have no idea what that means, but it reminds me of a song my nephew sings....I wish I could show you a video of it, but I can't find it. Shucks.
