Lifestyles of the Audacious

Here is a pic before it went into the oven

and after (the top burnt a little but it was pretty good!)

The vegetarian taking care of the turkey.  So proud of her!! This was a big step in her life.

Jeff's green bean casserole, turkey and rolls

Amanda's stuffing and macaroni corn casserole (Mmm)

Garlic mashed taters =)

Kelsey was in charge of the "MiRmosas"

Friday I enjoyed some Jeff time.  We went to the Omni for a little Arkansas/LSU action, played some bags at an Ice House (Can't remember the exact name) and ended our evening with some dinner at Blackfriar so I could see Kelsey one more time before she left for Kansas.  The day went by way too fast.  I enjoy spending time with him.  He makes me smile.

Saturday, I spent it doing a lot of nothing with Katy (which is usually my favorite thing to do with her)  We have a talent with taking normal, ordinary days and turning them into our favorite days to remember.  There was a lot of XOXO Gossip Girl, a scary dog that almost made me crap my pants (I'm sure she'd agree with me), and a new favorite game.  We went for a nice little run to the gym, had a wonderful workout, and somehow came home with 5 new memories and a new handshake!  We always joke about how reality tv would die to have a show about us.  But every time I hang out with her, I believe it even more!  We are so strange when we are together!  I love it, =)

After we got home from the gym, we walked into the front door to a pitch dark home minus the fireplace lit with a crackling fire.  (Ryan and Jeff like their alone time) haha.  But in all seriousness, it was the perfect ending to my Thanksgiving vacation.  Ryan, Katy, Jeff and I had dinner, made s'mores by the fire, and watched a good movie.  I always LOVE having the four of us together.  I think Katy and I have good abs solely because listening to Jeff and Ryan talk to each other puts us in a constant state of laughing.

Oh, and the three of us convinced Jeff that it would be a good idea to try Katy's breastmilk =)  He looks so nervous!

I can't imagine my life without her!

Ryan and Jeff like their marshmellows BLACK! (gross)

My weekend ended with a family Chiefs night at Arrowhead once I got back into KC

Two more weeks and I'll be school free for a month or so!  My DIY list has gotten pretty big and I'm extremely excited to do them, take pics and share them with you!

Until next time,

TK

More to come when 1. I have more time and 2. find my camera =)

But I will say this much.  I'm thankful for old friends and new traditions!!  One of the best Thanksgivings I've ever had.

Someone I know has a dog that smiles and wags her tail constantly.  I have yet to see a frown on her sweet face.  I feel like I'm the same way.  I just can't seem to stop smiling, no matter what my day brings me!

I hope everyone is having a great week thus far!  For anyone who's in a situation that is making them feel like their world is crumbling, just know that it will get better! I'll leave you with this quote:

I'm so lucky I've gotten the opportunity to work with this man for 6 years!!

I'm so cheesy!

Deep thinker!

Bree poppin' some bubbly to celebrate Libby's engagement!

SO EXCITING!! =)

Some candles to set the mood! (Half of Bree's apartment lost power due to some circuit thing)

The meat cooking in the living room because the the kitchen was part of the half that lost power! =)

I may have to add that to my list of top things to do that are fun and yet still help me keep excess fat to a minimum!!

After playing some tennis tonight with Evan, I thought it would be fun to post my 5 top favorite types of exercise in case anyone is looking for something new to do.

This lady doesn't usually make the same one twice unless you specifically request it.  So if you want to copy it, by all means.. But she has so many creative colors and vintage styles that it was honestly really hard to choose!  I'm actually debating on asking her to make another one, but a male mannequin.  Thought it might be cute!

IN OTHER NEWS

I went to Dallas this past weekend.  It was an awesome weekend.  I hadn't really talked about it prior to going because I went to surprise one of the girls.  I got to spend some time with two of my best friends, my favorite fake niece, some old friends, and a tall, dark, and handsome man.  Overall, a great weekend!! Can't wait to go back later this month!

I'm officially looking for a roommate!! I have been very patient and have been waiting to go apartment shopping because I didn't want to rush into anything and regret it in the end.  And after some time, I have finally decided that I don't want to live alone.  Been there, done that.  I'd much rather have a roommate! =)  I'm excited because I'm not wanting to have a roommate that I know well.  I'd much rather have one that I know through people but that is known for being reliable and responsible.  So that process has been interesting!

I have also been trying to plan out my next two half marathons.  I have already decided to do my second on in Dallas, and was thinking my third would be in Chicago.  But Jeff brought up one in Vegas and now I can't decide which one I want to do.  There is also one in New York that would be fun and I'd also get to see my friend JESS KLEIN!  So now I'm in a pickle.  I decided to put some cities in a hat and have my sister's hand decide which one I'll do for my third half marathon.  I'll keep you posted on which city she picks.  And then, I'll start lookig into my first whole marathon!! (I'm pretty sure I'm doing the one in San Fran, but who knows, I may just put some cities in a hat again!

That's really all I have for now..  Not the best update, but I'll work on some more later! Have a wonderful evening!

Thanks for reading,
