Life Lately

I feel like we are finally getting settled back into our routine after having a wonderful long weekend with family. It's nice to be back in the swing things and to continue on with the year. 

Here is a quick catch up of some other things we have been up to.

Last week, Kyle and I had the opportunity to enjoy a few hours out together. We attended the Commandant's reception for the school, it was nice to get a little dressed up and meet some of Kyle's fellow classmates. Shout out to our friend, Lauren, who watched E for us so we could attend. 
E had to get shots and blood drawn on Wednesday. I was okay with the shots but the blood draw pushed me over the edge. I ugly cried and believe me so did she. She was a trooper and tolerated a grocery shopping trip and a few others errands. She was happily delirious haha.
A few days ago we decided to stop at a local farm to see some sunflowers! They are popular in Kansas but we had no desire to drive a significant distance just to see them. This farm was small but beautiful and we snapped a few pictures.
We also went to an Apple Orchard! Usually during the day while Kyle is in class or home studying/reading we try to find fun things to do with friends. We picked apples and bought some apple crumble topping. It was a nice way to spend an afternoon.
We are back to our normal race schedule this weekend. Kyle will be participating in a mud run tomorrow and we are running the Plaza 10k on Sunday in Kansas City. From what I have read it's the largest 10k in Kansas and Missouri. It's the first in a 3 race series that we are participating in. It should be a great event!




I hope you all have an amazing weekend!
