Lilypie First Birthday tickers

We got another round of snow this week... which means SNOW DAYS!!! My classes were cancelled both Wednesday and Thursday and Amar's work training was cancelled Thursday. What better way to take advantage of the time off than sledding!! We went sledding with my work BFF Katherine and her husband Jay, it was a blast. We were all so sore the next day, I have no idea when I got too old for sledding. I guess it is one of those things you do even if its going to hurt the next day!

Getting down to business

It seems like a lot has happened in the last week and even more through rest of January! Andrea's 18th Birthday was Wednesday... we went to dinner Wednesday evening to celebrate :-) Applebee's of course... the only place my sister picks to eat! Asante worked all weekend so Saturday I spent the day with Grams, shopping, our favorite thing to do. Sunday was Andrea's birthday party with the family. I went to my moms early afternoon Sunday to make a cake and start cooking dinner. Asante had his second basketball game Sunday night; they won!


This week I start school! I am looking forward to starting a new semester but it always makes me nervous... you know that I can't find my classroom, that I will forget my homework, the usually. None of which have ever happened to me :-) Asante starts at the University of Phonex at the end of this month... we are both so excited for him to go back to school and I am a little bit jealous that he only has to go one night a week!


This Sunday we have a "meeting" with Grams to discuss moving in with her! Our lease is up February 28th and we will be moving into her basement, where I lived when Asante and I first met. We are making a full circle, two years later. We will finally be able to set our plan for the next two years in motion... I cannot wait!!!
Also we ordered save our the dates... look for them in the mail come February :-D

It's finally WINTER in Kansas

I guess I got my wish :-) It started snowing Sunday evening and didn't stop until this morning. Overall I think we got about 6 to 7 inches. Every once in a while Kansas actually gets a "nice" snow. Now it is really hard for me to say this because I don't care much for any kind if snow! However, this snow is beautiful! Waking up Monday to a white blanket of sparkly white snow is really breath taking. The other great part is NO ice (so far) I would have pictures but unfortunately I believe I lost my camera! Maybe I can get a picture with my phone and upload it...I don't think the snow will be melting any time soon since the temperatures are staying pretty close to 15 degrees.

In other news, Amar and I bought plane tickets to Indiana. We are leaving June 2nd and will be back June 6th. It is not for a while but we are so excited; we wanted to get a jump start! Plus prices are so much better the farther out you buy them.

We have 8 months until our wedding!! Crazy right, It seems like I was just saying one year until the wedding. And I was right, time is FLYING! I went to the second bridal show this weekend, no winnings :-( We are finishing up booking the main things, DJ and Officiant are next. Hopefully we can find someone in the next few weeks. Also I want to book a trolley :-) Stay tooned for more wedding excitement!
