Manhappy

Bri, the hounds, and myself ventured to Manhappy for a long weekend. We had such a great time. Jessa, Grammy, and Gramps were all in town...it was like a mini family reunion. I was so happy to have everyone I loved in the same town. Grammy and Gramps hadn't been back to Manhattan since my wedding, and even then I didn't get to spend much time with them. So, I was pleased to spend all weekend with them.


Jessa and Scott brought their dog, Chip (aka Mr. Black Velvet) over to ride on four-wheelers and wear out all the hounds. It was a rockin' good time......


but, our fun was cut short because the green four-wheeler flooded, then I had to tow them back. Even then, we still were having a blast and loving every minute of it!


Saturday, we headed over to the stadium to tailgate with friends and family. Apparently our dog, Harvey wanted to join in on the fun and thought he would make a great driver...unfortunately, we had to leave all hounds at the Abbott Casa.

However, one item that did make it was The White Trash Margarita Maker (made by my genius father in law). This was the margarita maker's first appearance at a Wildcat tailgate and it was a hit! Let me just tell ya...it can make one hell of a margarita. So tasty!


Overall, the long weekend was great! Lots of family time, laughs, food, and fun! We love spending time with family and friends and even though we are Jayhawks, we still had a great time tailgating at the Wildcat Stadium!

Happy Birthday B!

Happy Birthday to my amazing hubby! Brian is 37 today, but nowhere near grown up. I like to think I keep him young, but the truth is he's just young at heart. I threw a birthday bash for Brian on Friday night at our casa, it was a rockin' good time. We had food, tons of cocktails, and lots of friends and family to celebrate B's birthday! It was perfect!

I also had this amazing cake made by Helen's Cakes and Cookies. She does such an amazing job. I would highly recommend her for any occasion. Not only did the cake look good, but it tasted just as good! Here are some pics from the party!


Happy Birthday B! I love you! xoxo

Life is so precious

I'm sad to say that my friend, Kara Louise Morgan died today. She was in a head-on collision on K10 and the 20 yr old in other car was killed too. So sad. Its been a long time since someone died that was dear to me. I can't believe she's gone. I just had a voicemail from her yesterday wanting to have lunch and now she's gone. Wow. It just really makes you remember how precious life is and in 1 second it can all be taken away. I will forever miss her and my heart goes out to her family. I just want to wake up tomorrow and it be a dream. I'm just waiting for someone to say it was a different Kara Morgan...not our Kara. So unfair. RIP Kara Louise Morgan! I love you and you will forever be missed!
