Since I've lasted posted, things have been hectic for us. Greg and I celebrated our 2 year anniverary on Tuesday. We had an early celebration on the 10th. We went and bought new pillows, watched Couples Retreat and then had Pei Wei for dinner.

Last week was homecoming at OSU and we played Missouri! I caught a log of grief from people the whole week about who I was going to cheer for. My friend Lacey came down on Friday to visit and spend the weekend with us. Friday we went to walkaround (aka House Decs). The decs here are awesome. The details are amazing. I didn't do a good job of taking pictures of them this year, but below is an example of one. It's only 1/3 of the dec too. After walkaround we went to the Rusty Spur to hang out with friends and we saw the Kyle Bennett Band.



Saturday was a long day of tailgating. We saw Garth Brooks! He was one of the grand marshals of the parade. I didn't get a good picture so I am going to get one from someone else. I wore Missouri to the game with the exception of an orange scarf. Some OSU fans were nice and some were not. Oh well! It got cold towards the end of the game. I was really disappointed in the outcome of the game.



This week has been busy. Greg was gone for a few days (i.e. on our anniversary). The night he came home, I had a volleyball game. Yesterday I left work a little early, went home to bake a cake. I then went back to town to play Bunco (I had most wins and buncos! This never happens to me!) I then went home and decorated the cake. I went to bed around 1:45 a.m. after I finished the cake. The finished product is pictured below. It wasn't my best work.



Tonight I am cohosting a Lia Sophia jewelry party and then I have Bunco. The cake is for Bunco as tonight's theme is Strawberry Shortcake. Tomorrow I was suppose to run a 5k with Jess and Jeff, but I backed out on them. I fell the other day and banged my knee up and I haven't been training. Also I wanted to spend some time with Greg. Everyone is fighting illness and the weather turned cold here so I think it's going to be a long winter.

Oh, how I love fall!

The weather has cooled down, which is good and bad. Greg is not feeling so great right now because of the weather change and the crazy week/weekend we had.

Greg headed to Missouri last Tuesday for a break from work. It has been a stressful time for him. His great aunt Alberta died over the weekend, so he was home for the funeral and visitation. I flew home on Friday afternoon and he picked me up from the STL airport. We then drove to my parents for the night and took family pictures the next morning. It was a little chilly and I think everyone who gets sick is going to blame it on me. From there we headed to Holt's Summit for a baby shower for my good friend Lane. Greg went and hung out with her husband Charlie. We then headed back south to Jackson for the night. Sunday was Gracyn's baptism and then a lunch. We then headed west and picked up the other vehicle in Tulsa. It was a whirlwind of a weekend for us, full of lots of driving!

My work has picked up significantly as it is recruiting season for us. Homecoming is rapidly approaching! The parade is at 9:00 a.m. but the game isn't until 8:15 p.m. so I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Greg bought some Mizzou shirts while in Missouri to wear to the game. I'm still not sure what exactly I'm going to wear. I'm going to try to have a combination of both teams.

I killed a scorpion in our house last week. I was NOT happy about this situation at all.

I think there is something in the water. We have gotten quite a few calls/text messages about our friends being pregnant. Congrats to those who have told us they are expecting and to those who have had their child!
