Recent Adventures

This was a castle we hiked around and through. It was built in the 30's by a professor at Oklahoma State University. He used it as his summer home. I could handle having something like that as my summer home :)

This was the dining room. It was entirely outside, however there was another room they ate in if it was raining.

This is part of the staircase, this guy must have been super tiny because I had a hard time fitting in there.

Kurt checking out the falls.

Sooo pretty.

The soon to be Mr. and Mrs. in front of the falls...I wanted to go swimming, but Kurt said it wouldn't be warm enough for that...too bad it was 82 and not a cloud in the sky!!

Kurt didn't notice what was crawling around inside this cave...so he sat down and had his picture taken.

I wanted my picture taken in the wagon wheel cave, but when I got close I saw that it was FILLED with spiders, so I stood on front of the cave for my picture instead.

Turner Falls...isn't it beautiful?!? I want to go back.

Kurt liked the cactus too! He wanted to know if it was sharp.

This is for Kate...a real cactus with flowers and everything!

This is in Turner Falls in front of the Blue Pool.

Life has been as usual lately. Kurt gets up early and heads to work, I wake up and pick up the mess he made in the morning, then I watch some soaps, workout, and then get some chores done. :)

Last weekend we registered for gifts on Saturday - a project that took about 5 hours...sick. But, it's done, so that's good. Sunday we drove up to Oklahoma and went hiking at Turner Falls. It was beautiful. The pictures above are of our recent adventures.

As promised

This was at Taste of Addison...Foreigner played and they were FANTASTIC! It was in the park right across the street from our apartment, which was great, we didn't have to worry about parking, we just walked right over there! There was great food, lots of beer, and fantastic music. Made for 2 very good nights.
This is us on the Ferris Wheel. I also managed to get Kurt to go on a very intense version of the Tilt-A-Whirl with me, but he did NOT like that at all.

So much fun on a hot spring day!!
Not sure why this ended up sideways...but this is us at Kurt's cousin Rachelle's wedding. Nice face, Kurt.

Those Bodes, such fabulous dancers...that's Kurt and his oldest brother Brent bustin a move at Rachelle's wedding.
Happy birthday Kurt!! I made him a cake, he was pretty impressed.
We went to Ikea and bought pillow covers and lamps (among other things...having an Ikea only 10 minutes from our apartment is not a good thing...)



This was a storm we had a few weeks ago...it was intense!! 70mph winds, rain, hail, and tornadoes, oh my!!

Well...that's all for now...see, I do post pictures occasionally!! Enjoy...see you in June when I'm home for 3 weeks!!!

I'm so bad at this

Well, for those of you who do check this in order to keep up on our lives, I apologize. I'm terrible at remembering to update this. So...here goes...

Lisa came to visit over Easter weekend and we had a great time catching up, I just love that girl. On Tuesday of that week it was Kurty's birthday and I think he enjoyed the fact that I made him dinner and baked him a fantastic cake! The next day I flew home and was at home for 2 full weeks. I worked to make some money and I got quite a bit done for the wedding...everything's falling into place so nicely. The weekend of the 25th Kurt flew back to Michigan too and we had our engagement pictures and then Rachelle and Tony's wedding! The pictures were so much fun and despite the high winds, they turned out great. If you want to see them go to: www.deimage.dphoto.com the password for our album is 100909. Rachelle and Tony's wedding was beautiful and so much fun. I flew back to Texas on Wednesday the 29th, a few days after Kurt. The following day Katie flew down here with her sister and neice. We had a great time! Kate and I drove Crystal and Olivia to Wichita Falls so they could spend the weekend with Joe at the Airforce base. Katie and I had so much fun going to Ikea, Bass Pro Shop, Cabellas (the last 2 were Kurt's idea :)) among other things. We completed the weekend watching a movie and drinking margaritas...it was great.

Sunday was like back to normal. We went grocery shopping and just hung out. Monday night Kurt had his last softball game and once again I was their only fan. All the guys are great, just not great softball players :) This weekend will be a blast...I can't wait...we're going to go to Taste of Addison, which is literally outside our door...a bunch of restaurants from around town have booths set up with food samples, there's a beer tent, music, and carnival rides...we can't wait! The other part of this weekend that I am very much looking forward to is RENT!! There are only a few performances left in Dallas and we are going to go!! I'm so excited. :)

That's all for now. I promise I'll update after this weekend and I'll even post pictures! For those of you who have been pestering me to get pictures up on our wedding website, I'm doing that right now...so check that soon!
