Hitting the Road

Asante and I are hitting the road tonight! Asante's dad recently moved to Indiana, where most of his family lives, so we are taking a road trip to see him. We are very excited to spending some time with his dad. Also I will get to meet a lot of his family that I haven't before. We will be gone for a few days so check back in for details and pictures of the trip! :-)

Goodbye to the Dot!

As all of you know Asante works for AT&T. He has been at the store in the Legends since before we met. Now that we are living together and at least 30 minutes away from that store it has been very trying on him. Well as of November 1st he started at his new store. The AT&T store at 135th Street and Metcalf...that is about 10 minutes from our apartment! So far he really likes it and so do I. His old store closed at 9 because it was part of the mall and his new one closes at 7! So most days we will be home by then. And that makes me one happy girl! Now that he is closer to all of us go in a see him... change to AT&T... the iPhone is the way to go :-)

Wente Wedding

Asante's best friend, Nick and his fiance Jessie moved to Hawaii last December. This August they had their wedding in Hawaii and since not very many people could make the trip they had their reception in Lawrence on 10-10-10. Asante was the best man. He was a little nervous for his speech but after telling both Nick and Jessie's families about their first make-out session to the sounds of laughs he felt much better. Asante caught the garder ... he was ready to fight for it since I caught the bouquet at Aunt Annie's wedding last November. We had so much fun and couldn't be happier for Nick and Jessie. We are really looking forward to them moving back home next Spring.

All four of us ... can you guess who the DD was?!

Texas State of Mind

Asante and I took our second vacation together! We drove down to Dallas and stayed with some friends for the awhole week! It was so great to get away for a little while and we had a blast! Friday we went to the Dallas Aquarium, which was really fun because we don't have anything like that in Kansas. Both Asante and I love roller coasters so on Saturday we went to Six Flags Over Dallas. Asante always talked about how much better Six Flags was then Worlds of Fun, so I had to see for myself. One really great thing is you can purchase passes to avoid the line. This was a must because it was HOT! Asante is a huge Cowboys so Sunday we went to the game. The Cowboys lost; they aren't very good thisyear. Thankfully the new stadium made up for the loss! We bought party passeswhich is standing room only. It was a good time, however the next game we go to we will get regular tickets. Also knowing me we did a little shopping. Asante's cousin, Jennifer lives in Dallas so she took us to dinner Monday night. It was really great to meet her and I know Asante was really happy to spend some time with his family. We drove home Tuesday morning. Well really Asante drove, I was just along for the ride. We were glad to be home but are both looking forward toour next trip to Texas. Maybe next time San Antonio?!

First Things First ... The Wedding

As most everyone knows we have set a date: September 10, 2011 ... 9-10-11

We are very excited to have such a special date and it will make it very easy to remember. We have found that there are quite a few people who have had the same idea. It's a good thing that we are early planners and Asante's couldn't wait to propose because we haven't run into much trouble. I knew a long engagement was a good thing!

The event space is booked! The wedding ceremony and receptiopn will be held at 2000 Grand in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. Asante and I looked at only a few places before we found this one and that was it. We knew it was exactly what we wanted! 2000 Grand is the event space on the second and third floor above The Cashew. The Cashew is a restaurant/bar which will be providing all of the food and drinks for the evening. As well as tables, chairs, linens, servers, bartenders, pretty much everything we will need! This has made it super easy because that doesn't leave much else for us to do.

My best friend, Jenna's mother in law will be making our cake. Which has been another huge plus!


This summer Asante and I took our engagement pictures. It was HOT ... but they turned out great! We have been so pleased with Angela; she has been amazing and is so talanted! We will be using some of our favorites for the save the dates which will be sent out early next year.

We are at a little bit of a standstill right now. We have booked pretty much everything that we need at the moment and won't have much else to do until the beginning of the year. I know that time is going to fly by so now that I have said I dont have much to do everything will hit me at once. But that is ok, I am having the time of my life planning this wedding and it makes it really nice that I'm engaged to the best man in the world!


Next is the wedding officiant and flowers :-)
