April Showers

Will hopefully bring May flowers. If it doesn't freeze or snow again. I am over the cold weather right now. Don't get me wrong, I love when it gets cold and the first and second snowfall, but the 3rd and 4th always seem old and dull to me. Winter no longer brings excitement to me. Now I want spring. I want to be able to go running outside without coming back with my nose running out the wazoo or play outside with Buster for more than 10 min at a time. I need to thaw out. Of course, once spring and then summer comes I will be complaining how hot it is and how much I can not wait for fall and winter. This seems like a never ending thought process. Oh boy...

Well once again it has been over a month since I have updated this poor, neglected blog. Lets see what I can remember what has happened since then.

First off, Bryson and I shared our first Valentines Day as a married couple. We celebrated by eating dinner at Macaroni Grill, which was DELISH! Next came taxes. Took me almost all day to get everything together and file online. Whew, it stunk but it was VERY rewarding in the end! However, it seems like that reward vanished as fast as it came. Bummer.

March brought our One Year Anniversary! We had lunch at J. Alexanders and ate some cake. Later in the summer we will be celebrating our Anniversary more celebratory like. We plan on taking the AmTrak to St.Louis, watching a Cardinals game and then taking the AmTrak to Chicago and watching a Cubs game then the AmTrak all the way back To KC. It will be glorious!! I can't wait!





Moving on.
Last weekend we took the youth group to Silver Dollar City for Young Christians Weekend. It was absolutely amazing! We were able to see Fireflight, Abandon, Caleb Rowden, Sanctus Real and Tenth Avenue North in concert! Not to mention we witnessed some pretty fantastic speakers! We rode rides, ate some expensive park food, got sunburned and bonded even further with the youth. I rate that weekend on a scale from 1-10 and 11!

Buster is still being his hyper/amazing self that he is. I found a red bandana lying around and put it around his neck. He looks like an old western/handsome doggy. I think his girlfriend, Lacy approved of his new look.

Thats it for now!
God Bless!

It is ABOUT TIME!

Almost 2 months later I finally decided to write a new blog. Too much has happened in the last two months that if I were to write about everything it would be way too long for me to even follow through with it. I'm sure I would have ADD half way through writing it. I already have ADD and it is within the first 20 seconds...so this will be a quick overview on what has happened. To make it easier, I will make it a photo overview. GO!



^Christmas with my family in Oklahoma. As you can see we are quite the group and I am proud to say those are my wonderful, amazing, grandparents.



^Took the youthgroup to Colorado for some intense snowtubing!



^First snowfall of winter happened in January! Snow angels were made and long glorious walks were taken in the snow.




^ Blizzard of 2011. Accumulated about 12 inches of snow and roughly 3-5 foot snow drifts! It has been a loooong time since I have witnessed such a great snowfall!



^ Youthgroup superbowl party at our house! Ended with an epic snowball fight.

End picture overview.

Bryson and I feel so blessed to be right where we are and doing what we are doing. There are rough times but we know God only gives us what we can handle. We wouldn't trade the relationships and memories we have made for all the Sour-Patch Kids candy in the world! That just shows how much we love Sour-Patch Kids candy...

A Short Update

Greetings from the City of Mound. Now I know some of you are probably wondering how has our "cone-of-shame" Buster healed these last few weeks. The answer is quite nicely and TOO FAST. He is a fast healer and our 2 or 3 days of silence ended pretty quickly. He is back to his hyper-energetic self. And can you believe that he still barks and acts like he wants to chase cows. You just can't get this dog down! Either that or he doesn't remember what almost cost him his life or a limb. While he might be too wound up for us at times it is nice to see him back to his old self. To be honest, I am REALLY glad his cone is off. That poor dog never realized how big his head was or how close he was walking behind me. I have the bruises to prove it!



Since our last blog the wonderful holiday of Thanksgiving has occurred. Bryson and I had a short but amazing visit in Colorado with his family. Lots of food was ate, cold walks were had, many Christmas lights were to be seen and pictures to be taken!




Not a whole lot has happened since then so we will leave you with this!

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE BUNGERS!!
