Caution!!! Extremely Long!!!!

Well I have been very busy these past few weeks. I'm warning you now.... this will be a pretty long post. But I'll include a lot of pictures, so hopefully that will help!!!

I'll start off by showing a picture of us at Seaworld in San Antonio. Heather and I stayed fairly dry on this ride, but her sister did get drenched!


This was taken at Shalin's wedding. The wedding was one week prior to me leaving San Antonio.


Here's a picture of the Padalecki's. They have been so awesome to live with!! They really made me feel like I was part of their family. They kept me busy which was nice because it made the time away from Brian fly by!!!


That same weekend, we took a gambling bus to the Coushatta Casino in Louisianna. It was a 7 hour bus ride there. We gambled for 10 hours and then turned around and came back. We had a lot of fun. Jeremy's 85 year old grandmother came with us! I actually won $150 at the craps table with someone else's money!!! They found out that I had never played before so the guy next to us put $10 of his own money down for me so I could roll. I turned his $10 into $150 and he didn't even want me to pay him back his $10!

Here we are at the rehearsal dinner for Oscar and Christine's wedding.




The next morning Hadley played in the water. I'm sure going to miss Hadley's smile and her laugh!!! Even Dutch (the dog) got in on the fun!

Later that day I went to the airport to pick Brian up. He flew down to go to the wedding and to ride back up with me to Kansas. Hadley fell in love with Brian. It was so sweet watching him interact with her! She is so smart. She only met him a few times, but the entire time he was in Kansas she would refer to him as "My Brian". "My" being me, because she also has an uncle Brian.

Here we are at the wedding. Hadley was the flower girl and Heather and I read scripture in the wedding. It was a beautiful wedding!



Here's a picture of the beautiful bride, Christine!!


The next morning was moving day. Brian did an awesome job of packing my car. I don't think I could've squeezed one more thing in there. I was just happy that there was room for Brian to drive back with me!!!




Once we finally got to Kansas it was time to unload my car and try to stuff everything into our hotel room. Here's what we'll be living in for the next 5 weeks!! Sorry for the mess!!


Brian took the first Monday and Tuesday off from work so we could spend some time together. We went to Kansas City to a Royals Baseball Game. We also went to a driving range at a golf course here in Manhattan. It was nice to be able to spend so much time with him!



Golf is not my game. I'm much better when I have a bat in my hand and I'm swinging at a larger ball!!!

I hope you enjoyed this post. Sorry again for the length! Hopefully I'll be able to stay caught up now. I'll post updated pictures of our house sometime soon!! We hope everyone is doing well!!
