Mega Update!

We are really enjoying married life and have been finding ourselves going out more often, and spending plenty of time with friends and family.  It's also been a rough couple of weeks for some of our friends - it makes me feel guilty about what we have, but I know everyone has their ups and downs.   

P.S. I don't have pictures, but Eric, Brian, and a group of their friends are running a weekly radio show with awesome music courtesy of Brian, and conversation from all of the boys.  So now he's spending Tuesday nights broadcasting, and I'm hanging out with Jen and the kids!  

 Jack and I on the new Sky Ride at the Kansas City Zoo - it goes over the zebras and giraffes.

This giraffe was too short to reach the trees and too tall to reach the grass without aerobics. 

Our friend Moonshine came to visit for the weekend! 

We went barhopping with Alison and Shawn - we had a pitcher of Woodchuck!  We went to The Pool Room, had pizza at Rudy's, then Kristie joined us at Harbor Lights, and we finished the night at Perkins to visit Tera! 

Yea yea YEA!  We've got Eric's car paid off!!! 

He's obviously excited!

 Eric's car is paid off and we've made $578 of progress on the next debt in line.  I wasn't thrilled at the nominal progress over the past 16 months - so I raised the minimum payment on it!  Now we're saving all of our snowball money for Eric's car upgrade and potential future baby money - and we'll get back on the snowball when both of those goals have been realized.

Addy says "Look!  I know how to use an armrest!" 

We've been going through a heat wave recently - this HVAC van advertises by showing the temperature inside the van, and the heat index outside... 70* in their van, and 116* outside!!! 

Leslie and I spent a day together - Deanna Rose, swimming, and then a treat at Smallcakes.  They have a deal where you get a free cupcake the first and tenth time you check in on FourSquare.  I had cookies and cream, and Leslie had lemon. 

 Tonight we went out to dinner at Outback, that means bread!  We had three loaves between us :)

Again - Eric is sooooo thrilled for his steak!

I really AM so thrilled at having crab legs for dinner (and my tiny fork)!
