Bucca di Beppo!

Last night I celebrated Jesse's birthday with some fabulous ladies. I had a fantastic time! I haven't laughed that hard in SUCH a long time...it was needed! We went to Bucca di Beppo, which is an Italian restaurant on the Plaza. The restaurant is in the basement (the name of it actually means Joey's Basement, we asked). The food is family style, it's a great place to be really loud because no one cares!

Our poor waiter probably thought I was crazy. It seemed he always came around at the wrong moments. The girls were doing silly things and I said, "I need to get a shot of that," meaning with my camera. He happened to walk by at that moment and says, "You want a shot?" (of alcohol). Ummmm...no, thanks. Towards the end of our night, I quoted a movie...something about "you filthy animal." Little waiter man happens to come check on our table at that point...he was like, "I don't get the joke." Poor guy, we left him a hefty tip for dealing with our craziness. He was probably real glad we didn't order any alcohol. We don't need it to embarrass ourselves! :)
Me, Jesse, Cat, Kelsey & Amy (and our giant dessert!)
Baked Ziti & Chicken Carbonara
Some calamari & salad
Here's some shots of our food...which was delicious!!!!!








Ladies, thanks for a great night! I had a blast and I look forward to many more embarrassing moments with you in the future! :)

KC Adventures

So I've decided that I'm not so good at blogging. I meant to do this at least a couple times a week...not once every two weeks. It's a very busy time in my life so I apologize! I'll try harder! I have decided to focus this blog post on more FUN things! It seems my past posts have been serious tear-jerkers and while I enjoy them...it's time for some fun! Luke and I (the dorks that we are) have created a short list of adventures we would like to embark on when we get to KC. My plan is to document all these adventures and share them with you. This list is just a few things we have found so far...I'm sure it will grow. And as I look over it...most of it seems centered around food and sports. Hrmmm...let's get started. Oh, by the way, these are in no particular order. 1. Kansas City Royals game. No, we are NOT going to disown the Cardinals! We will always be Cardinals fans. However, Royals games are CHEAP! They have BUCK nights and areas of the stadium that ar...

Tough Stuff of 2014

What a good time of year to sit and reflect over the past twelve months. My life is pretty normal – to me. But I really do believe that other people view it as…not quite so normal. Just in the past twelve months I have had three addresses, moved to a different state, sold a house, and bought a house. Luke and I strive to follow where God leads us and that isn’t always easy. Today I would like to share the toughest thing that happened in 2014. I do know that our biggest blessing piggybacks on my toughest situation. Isn’t that how it usually works? Hard. Tearful. Embarrassing. Mortifying actually. That is how I would sum up 2014’s toughest situation.   This is difficult for me to type and I know will be even more difficult to actually post, but I believe it’s all part of the healing process. Let’s just rip the Band-Aid off here – In April, I was told my contract at the school I was teaching at would not be renewed. Whew, glad that’s over. I’m swallowing my pride and there’s a bi...

Gospel Hope during Postpartum Depression

“I won’t be home much today,” my husband said, “I have that event tonight.” Our two small children were in the living room, while I was loading the dishwasher with the breakfast dishes. Outwardly, I mumbled “okay” and gave him a goodbye kiss. Inwardly, I was spiraling. How many hours until he was home? Could I make it until then with no reassurance from him? Please don’t leave me here all day with the kids! I’m not strong enough! The panic and anxiety I felt was new, but I had determined it was my new normal. Shortly after we brought our second baby home from the hospital, it had always been close. Whispering to me that I wasn’t cut out to be a mom of two. Sending my thoughts spiraling down paths they had never taken before. Causing me to lay awake at night when I was very exhausted from lack of sleeping well. For some reason, every other woman seemed to ease into having a second baby so gracefully. But me? Failing. Miserably. Anxiety and panic should not have been my new normal. ...
