Kate's Graduation 6-12-07

Kate graduated in June. These pictures are from after the ceremony. It drove dad crazy that people were cheering in the sanctuary where the ceremony was at. He kept saying, "do people not know this is the house of God"? He was funny! I agree the blow horns in the church were a little much, but he was almost mad by the end! :-)

Not sure why Whit has her hand on Kate's stomach. Maybe trying to show where her natural waist is! :-)
It's amazing we got a picture of dad. He HATES his picture taken!

Shogun 6-10-07

So Kate graduated in June. I flew home for a couple days to be there for her graduation. She didn't have an open house so we went to this place called Shogun. It was supposed to be like Bennihanas but was nothing like it in the end. The food was pretty bad.
Not sure what were doing here!

Ok, this is a little more like it!

What's the one thing that doesn't fit with this picture? Oh wait, it's me! :-)

Kate thought it would be fun to stand tallest to shortest!

And now the real picture. I think were actually standing from fattest to skinniest too!

Lender Conference 6-4-07

In June, I went to St. Louis for the Non Prime Lender Conference. My dad had a booth there which you can see below and we worked the booth for two days. We got hooked up by some of our other booth buddies with box seats to the Cardinal game that night. We thought we were pretty cool sitting in our box seats. This is Shannon with me. She is my dad's main marketing/event planning person. Don't ask me what was going on with my hair. I thought it looked cute in person, but I look at these pictures and wonder what I was thinking! :-)

This is the smaller of our two booths! Now you can see what I kind of do! James in the background sticking his tongue out is my new manager! :-)

Denise and her sister.

Me and Ash. I hope I look that good when I'm pregnant! :-)

These are a bunch of Denise's friends. We ate at Biaggis. Mmmm, one of my favorites!

If you'll notice in the background, Jerry Koehl jumped in the picture with us. He happened to be sitting at the table next to us and was with the group that took the picture for us, so he just jumped in. All the girls thought it was hilarious, esepcially when I said, oh don't worry I know his daughter!

Memorial Day

The summer started with a summer kick off cookout at Denise's. This is me, Mandy and Denise. This is the only picture I have from the whole day for some reason. We had a great time! We ate, and ate and ate! :-) We also played hill billy golf which I showed some amazing beginners luck with the game!

So I've got some catching up to do!

This has been a crazy summer so I'll try to see if I can catch you up on what's been going on!

April - I moved out of my condo and moved in with Tiffany Virgil

May - I lived with Tiff but never saw her because we were both never home!

June - we closed on the house the end of June and I went to Boston the middle of June.

July - moved, moved and moved some more,had a 4th of July/housewarming cookout here at the house,and had a crazy schedule for work, whit and kate moved in, mom was here for two weeks.

August - Dad came to see the house, went to Omaha to visit the Smiths(a family I used to babysit for in CA), went to Nashville for an end of summer road trip, and ended my job with AFC.

That sums up my summer in a nut shell. I will post pictures accordingly! :-)

I'm finally blogging!

Ok, I figured that I should get with the digital age and create a blog. Not that my life is that exciting, but I enjoy keeping up with everyone's life from their blog that it has now started to become a part of my daily routine. Eat breakfast, do some work, check everyone's blog, etc.! :-)

So I hope I won't bore you with my blog posts. If so, you can unsubscribe from my blog! :-)
