I am going to start this post off by saying I LOVED THE MOVIE THE VOW!!  Me and my sister went and saw it tonight, and it was so so so so so good.  It had a great story, it was cute, had great actors, it was sad, it was happy - it was seriously so good.  If you are looking for something to do, go see the movie.  I actually think David might like it once he sat down and watched it - although he would probably never admit it.  =)

Ok, so let me back up.  I started the day off by waking up to snow outside and having to go to the dentist.  (do you see why I started this post off with a movie review now??).  Luckily - no cavities!  Then I came home and ruined my perfectly white teeth with a cup of coffee.  Did my usual morning routine then of checking my facebook, returning a few emails, and watching The Today Show.  After that I ran to the hardware store to grab something David needed and then went to Petsmart to get some cat stuff for Kona and Enzo.  We are in the process of moving the litter boxes and food and water bowls to the basement.  We think it might help to keep the upstairs cleaner.  I was hoping to find some kind of mat to put under the litter box, so when the cats jump out it will contain the litter that they kick out.  Of course the one I wanted to get was the most expensive one - typical.  Then I met my aunt for lunch at Spirit World and ran to the mall to get some cookies to take to the movie theatre for me and my sister!  Of course I had to stop and shop at Von Maur and Bath and Body - but surprisingly I bought nothing.  This is the new "Kathryn on a budget" =)  Then I came home and went to the movie.  So that brings me to this moment - I just finished moving all the cat stuff downstairs and debating what show to put on from my dvr.  =)

Not sure if I will have time to post since tomorrow is Valentines Day and we are going out tomorrow night - but if I don't I will be sure to post on Wednesday!

Hey Everyone!

Well, the weekend is almost over and I am sitting here watching the Grammy's and thought I should let you all in on how my weekend was!  As always, the weekend went by wayyy to fast.  David got home from Sioux Falls on Friday night around 5ish and then he headed to the gym.  I was over at my mom's house with my sister and aunt having a glass (or two.....) of wine and having girl talk of course.  My sister went and picked up pizza from la casa for everyone, so that was awesome.  Then I came home and sat and talked with David while he ate some of the La Casa pizza and watched tv.  I headed to bed pretty early.  The next morning I had to get up at 6:30 to take my mom to the airport.  I was back home by about 7:30 and went back to sleep for a bit. When I got up I cleaned a few things around the house, took a shower, and then we headed to the Creighton basketball game.  David was going with some people that he works with, so that was fun.  We had a few beers and I got a cheeseburger.  I am not a huge Creighton fan - or a huge basketball fan I guess - but I do think its a lot of fun to go to those games.  They are quick and don't take up much of your day or night.  I think it would be fun if David got season tickets - or went in with some friends to get tickets to those games.  Oh - I forgot to mention that we had to park a mile away and that it was like 2 degrees outside - so that was awesome.  Then we came home and watched a little bit of tv and then headed to Old Chicago.  David got some dinner and I drank the 2 beers I needed to finish my mini tour.  After that we headed home and went to bed.  Today - I literally did NOTHING and watched tv ALL day.  It was awesome.  I watched some of my favorite shows on my dvr - like teen mom, jersey shore, biggest looser, parenthood.  Yes, I have great taste in tv shows. ha ha.  I did take an hour break and went to the gym and worked out for 45 minutes. So, I did at least get out of the house and off the couch.  Came home and heated up some chili and now I am back on the couch watching the Grammys.  Is it weird that I am excited to see the reunion of the Beach Boys???  Ok, enough for today!  =)

Thank You!

Thank you to all my new readers!  I will be posting more this weekend!  In the mean time - try to stay warm! =)

I'm back!

Well, its been about a year since my last blog post!  I am not really sure why I decided to start blogging again - I have been encouraged to do so by my Dad and my sister - so thank you for being interested in my writing. A LOT has happened in that year time frame - wayyy too much to type in a single blog post.  But I am back and promise to be faithful about writing updates!  May not be daily, but hopefully a couple times a week I will update you on what I am up too.  So what has been going on in my world since my last post?  My sister got married, I turned 30, I quit my job at BBW, went to Hawaii a couple times, had great holidays, went to husker games - just to name a few =)  As I go forward and have nothing to write about I will touch on a few of those events and try to share a few pictures!

So what am I up to this weekend??  It's a pretty calm weekend for us.  David is on his way back home from Sioux Falls and I am sure he will go work out and then we will just hang out and get caught up on our dvr.  We may go to Old Chicago as I am 2 beers away from completing this mini tour and 3 beers away from completing my FOURTH TOUR!  I know, how cool is that?  ha ha.  Tomorrow we are going to the Creighton game with some people from his work and then probably going to dinner or something.  Not looking forward to the temperatures the next few days either!

Ok, don't want to bore my readers on my first post back after my absense.  So until my next post....
Thanks for reading!  =)

Happy Monday everyone!  Had a great weekend!  Nothing to crazy, but overall it was a lot of fun.  Friday night I ended up not having to work so I met David at Brickhouse for dinner.  He was there with some friends from work and didnt want to leave, and I was hungry so I went and met them.  I have had a cold all week (go figure) so I ate my dinner and came back home and went to sleep. Saturday I had to work all day until about 3:30.  Then I came home and got ready to go to dinner at Brother Sebastians with my parents and sister.  We had such a great time at dinner!  After dinner me and David ran to Best Buy and got what I am calling the worst movie I have ever seen.  Ok, ok, maybe not THE worst, but top 5 worst movies.  The movie was Dinner with Schmucks and it was terrible.  Do not buy it - or waste 2 hours of your life watching it.  Sunday I had to work and then I came home and watched some tv on my dvr.

Clearly this is not a very exciting post because I didnt do anything super fun!  But wanted to keep you updated on what's been going on!  Will write more later!

When I was in high school, my home room teacher Mr. Hall always said the same thing on this date every year:  "Today is the only day that is a command to move forward".  Get it???  March fourth?  I am sure when Mr. Hall said that every year he didn't realize that 10 years later I would think of him every March 4th - but I actually think I am not the only one who remembers him saying that!  In fact last year, I saw on facebook someone who was in my high school homeroom wrote the same thing on their facebook wall!  So thank you Mr. Hall for guaranteeing that once every year I will always be taken back to homeroom where we played home room volleyball, had dirty donuts, and to this day you would still probably call me "Heather".  (don't ask).

Had a great day yesterday, I worked at bbw for a few hours and then last night I met some old friends, Kerri and Stephanie, who I used to work with at the bank.  We all worked at 175th together and it was the most fun and best group of people I ever worked with!  Stephanie still works at the bank but Kerri doesn't work there anymore because her and her sister opened a store 3 years ago!  You may have heard of the store, its called Bigwheels 2 Butterflies and its a super cool store!  They have a store in papillion and a store out at 168 and Maple.  It's always fun to get together with them and we always go out to Kona.  

Kathryn, Kerri, and Stephanie

Well, better get going!  Will write more about my weekend later!

Hey friends!

So, not sure if I still have any readers out there since I have been absent from the blog for 2 weeks.  But, I am back and making my blog a priority again!  I have had so much positive feedback from people who read my blog it makes me want to keep writing!  So thank you!

Lots has been going on in the last couple weeks!  I'll start with the bad news.  About a week and a half ago I was eating dinner and OUCH, shooting pain in my mouth.  I kept eating dinner thinking i may have taken a drink of cold water or something and the initial bite into my hot food caused shooting pain.  Well, WRONG.  The next morning i was eating breakfast and ouch, the same pain.  So I called the dentist.  Couldn't get in for a few days and when I did, it ended in tears and 2 expensive follow up appointments 2 weeks later.  The dentist determined I had some how cracked one of my teeth, but he wanted to wait 2 weeks for me to get the crown put on it.  So, in the mean time I have been reminding David that I am living my life in pain and deserve lots of presents.  =)  A few days ago (my appointment isn't until next Thursday!), me and David went to Old Chicago.  I literally couldnt even drink a beer.  I had to ask for a straw and that was just embaressing.  Those of you who know me really well know that ice cream is basically my favorite food in the whole world, and i can't even eat ice cream.  I can't go to Scooters for coffee, and I love scooters coffee.  So, now those of you close to me can understand why I have been crabby for the last couple weeks.

That has been the bad thing the last couple weeks.  But lots of good things have been going on too!  I have been babysitting a lot and working at bbw a lot also.  We have been doing lots of wedding planning for Patricia's wedding as well.  Last night we went to pick out her bridesmaid dresses and they are going to be so beautiful!  They are bright pink and going to be SO fun to wear!

Not going to make this post too long cause I don't want to bore you, but I promise you will be seeing more of me on here!
Thanks for reading!
