Engagement Ring

5 diamonds and many a tears later, we decided it was time for a new ring. The other one was just poorly made and I was at the point where I had it off more than on. I was pretty much afraid to wear the thing. So we went back to the jeweler and traded in the band. Here it is...










This ring came with a band as well. One less thing we have to worry about later!


Who Summoned The Wizard

Reid came back home this weekend and we headed to a Wizards game. This one was all hyped up because Beckham was in town. That didn't stop the Wizards though from having 2 amazing goals for the win (2-0).


















We not only saw 1, but 2 great soccer stars at the game. Landon Donovan from the USA team plays for the Galaxy as well.















Half time was pretty entertaining. It was a soccer game between local area mascots. There were mascots for the local radio stations, Mr. Goodcents, Rockhurst, Culvers and many more (plus a ridiculous blow-up lego, like the Huskers mascot).














But despite the rather rainy end of the week/weekend, it held off for the game and the weather was perfect! Good game to go to. But we can't forget to mention the good Brats Josh and Reid cooked up. I think by the end of football season they will both become master grillers at tailgates!



It's Football Season

Our first football game turned out perfect!! Aside from the drizzles, the weather was perfect for football season. Now I'm ready for the Big 12 games to start.


















Unfortunately we weren't able to make it to the first football game. A little disappointing because my favorite player was being honored at half time. Instead, we were back in Kansas City at the wedding of one of my bridesmaids and Patti made the cake!! She had the same cake topper we are going to use.




















Just a wedding update! We're a little less than 9 months out and I can't wait. It sucks not living where Reid is. We now officially have all the majors out of the way. I picked up my dress last Thursday (exciting) and also finalized the florist last week (my favorite part). Now it's on to the details and getting ready to put everything together. Oh and we start our marriage counseling next week!!
