Tara and Reid
08/23/2008

We went to Antioch Park then to Brush Creek and the Kauffman Memorial Garden. Hope you like them!!!

On Sunday, we had a homemade pizza complements of mom...even though she made me get back to Manhattan late! It was really good and she learned her lesson that the tomatoes go on top (even though I told her...she apologized though)! It was pretty much one of the best pizzas I have ever had...fresh mozz, fresh parmesan, fresh basil, olive oil, roma tomatoes, mushrooms, green peppers, and capicola!

Flowery Suprise

I had a wonderful suprise waiting for me when I returned from lunch...

THANKS REIDO!!

Everyone at work was anxiously waiting for me to get back from lunch so they could get the scoop on what was up. They were wondering if there was a special occassion or anything, but there wasn't. This is what my card said...

"Just because I wanted to make you smile! I love you and I miss you more and more everyday!"

Redneck Picnic

Tara is in Manhattan this weekend...and I had a surprise waiting for her when she got here.

I got some tealight candles, a bottle of wine (a 2004 pinot gris from austrailia), and a Papa Murphy's order-to-bake tomato, cheese, and herb pizza. It was one of the best pizzas we have ever had. I also rented "In Bruges" to watch and it was a pretty freakin weird movie, but there were some parts that we were both dying of laughter.

So the weather here in Manhattan sucks...it was supposed to be sunny and 83 all weekend and it has not stopped raining yet. We had to go run some errands in the rain to get K-State t-shirts for engagement pictures and then some veggies for fajitas tonight (they are gonna be good). Anyways, hopefully the weather is better for Tara to drive home in tomorrow...

Wedding Bells Are Ringing

We had a pretty eventful weekend in Omaha, Nebraska. One of Reid's fraternity brothers got married and Reid was an usher. It was a lot of fun and a great heads up for what we have coming for us!Our wedding planning is coming along fairly well. We have the reception hall, ceremony location, caterer, photographer, dj and the dress all picked out. Things are slowly coming together.

Doggies and Funny Ads

Tara and I had a nice relaxing weekend together...the first together in three weeks! When she left Manhattan I was bored so I started looking for dogs (wishing) and moved on to YouTube. I found the cutest dog in Reno, NV and decided that Tara and I were going to go adopt the dog and then get married all in the same trip...I later decided that wouldn’t be the best idea! Anyways, here is a picture of the dog and my favorite video on YouTube...

Colorado Visit

Welcome to Colorado! We went out to Colorado for the 4th of July. Reid also had a tour of the Wolf Law building at the University of Colorado, and we found some time for Tara to try climbing her first 14er, Mt. Bierstadt.

New Employment

The time has finally arrived...Tara found a big person job!

I went in today to observe the position and was offered the job. I start on Tuesday! A huge stress relief lifted off my shoulders. The company I will be working for is Idex and they are a legal research company. I will be doing some data entry. I was informed that the company is up for sale, and a prospected buyer is a national company which might be beneficial to me in the future! Thanks Patti for the tip on the ad in the paper!
