Time for Me to Write ...

OK so my husband finally showed me how to log onto this thing to create new posts, so watch out blogging world, here comes RB. A lot has happened in the past couple of months since the David Lee Roth stalking, I mean, sighting. So I'll try to quickly fill you in.

For starters, my friends and I saw Rascal Flatts at the Sprint Center and they were sooo good! I must admit I am NOT a huge RF fan, and don't listen to a ton of country music, but my friends wanted to go so I tagged along and was presently surprised. They rocked the hizzouse. :)

This fall we also celebrated my 34th birthday ... SAY IT ISN'T SO!! When did we get so OLD?! This one in particular was hard on me for some reason ... feeling like I'm officially in my mid-3os is just a little bit terrifying. For my birthday, I had an awesome sushi dinner with my girlfriends and then went dancing. (Yes to try to feel young again, I think ... but it only helped to make me feel even OLDER so it totally backfired ...)

On my birthday, Mike surprised me with two tickets to see Dane Cook ... he is one of my favorites who makes me laugh so hard. He was also at the Sprint Center.

Are you seeing a trend here?! The Sprint Center just opened in Sept and we've already been to two concerts, two basketball games (KU and K-State) and a comedian's show. We are definitely trying to keep the place in business. And I constantly remind Mike of that since he voted DOWN the building of the arena when it was on the KC ballots 2 years ago. He thought it was "silly" to spend so much money on an arena when we don't have a sports team to support it. He does have a point, but it seems we have gotten TONS of use out of it already without the team. I told him 2 years ago that since he voted against it he could never go to an event there ... and obviously that mandate didn't last long...

Seriously it's been so nice to have it added to our downtown scene. It's such a great arena and has already brought so many amazing acts to KC that we've never had before ... Elton John, Billy Joel, Garth Brooks, Rascal Flatts, Van Halen and Ozzy (whoo hoo!) ... and we're getting so many more in 2008. It's amazing and I'm so thankful we have it ... you guys should come check it out! Any one of you is welcome to come to KC to visit and have fun in our exciting new downtown!! Bon Jovi/Daughtry is coming in April, Celine Dion in November ... any takers?

Finally, this fall we celebrated Thanksgiving. Well, I should say I celebrated it with my family in Des Moines. Unfortunately, Mike was coming back from a long trip on the east coast and got stuck at the O'Hare airport in a snowstorm on Wed night. His flight to Des Moines was canceled :( so he caught a flight to KC instead. He and his mom celebrated Thanksgiving Day with a meal at Cracker Barrel, while I got to meet my brother's new girlfriend, Tammie at the family gathering in Des Moines. I love her already ... she is such a good fit for him! She had fun playing with my aunt's new puppy, while Katie and my dad looked on...

My grandma is still at Luther Park retirement home, but she made it over for Thanksgiving Day. She is doing well but really missing my grandpa, as this is her first holiday season without him. She prays that he is up in heaven watching over us, and I have to agree. :) OK that's probably more than enough for now ... will write more soon with a Christmas update!!
