So our trip to Spokane was successful and we are both definetly glad we went out there. There were some areas we would have not felt so comfortable in. I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but I feel like the typical "Johnson County Brat" after seeing Spokane. It is like an oversized Manhattan...just take away all the college students. But I think it will be a good fit for Reid and I and there were a ton of parks to go to and plenty of stores within walking distance from our house. Here's a preview...

Busy, busy weeks coming up but we're SOO ready to be settled!
3 More Weeks!
The busy weekends continue as we get closer and closer to the big day!! My maid (now matron) of honor was married yesterday, which seeing everything put together for hers made me really excited for our day to come!
Next weekend we are heading out to Spokane to hopefully find some housing then the next weekend Reid is finally graduating and then the big day arrives. Until then, we are just finishing up last minute scheduling and purchasing of some details.
I can't believe all the crazy things coming up but we are so ready to just be settled!

Happy Easter
We hope everyone had a wondeful Easter! Only 6 weeks until the wedding and we can't be more excited for it to be here. Although planning is getting a little more stressful right now, we have a phrase that helps us hang in there...JAMAICA, ALL-INCLUSIVE!We are preparing for upcoming parties these next few weekends as well as starting to house hunt for our trip to visit May 9-10. Everything is happening so quickly it is hard to believe this is the start of our new lives!
Western Bound
This weekend we made an important decision...we had spaghetti for dinner! Okay, that was lame. We decided where we are moving to. Reid is going to accept the offer & scholarship to Gonzaga so Spokane, WA here we come!!!
Last week Tara found out some interesting details about her job. They have decided to shut down the Kansas City offices and ideally re-locate to Bellevue, WA (Seattle suburb). There are opportunities for home-based positions, so that is the next thing on our agenda to figure out.
Other than that we are getting excited for the wedding. Time is flying by and it will soon be here before we know it.
I love you

Fake Patty's Celebration
This past weekend was the last home basketball game for Reid and I for many years. Lets just say we shed a few tears
When I came into town Friday evening, I got to see the Konza Prairie burning. I thought it was soo cool I went and picked Reid up and took him to see it as well. Well our lives are slowly becoming consumed with wedding plans. I can't believe how fast it is coming!! And last but not least a quick law school update. Reid did not get in to Wake Forest or Colorado. Still waiting on 4 more letters/packets!!
After the game we headed down to Aggieville for a little Fake Patty's Day celebration! Let's just say that is an experience in itself that you have to be totally prepared for.

Reid and I both had a crazy/stressful week. Reid had to frantically find time to work on a 50% design development submittal for his senior project due Wednesday and I was just having "one of those weeks" at work. The company that bought us out asked us to track our daily tasks in 2 minute increments. That is ridicilous and pile that ontop of computer problems and it just doesn't make things go so smoothly.
I finally purchased my new computer I've been talking about doing for a while.
This is the new set up in my room ! Kinda cramped but it will do for 3 months. I am getting rid of my laptop and trying out a desktop. It will be more or less the "family" computer.
Aside from a new computer, Reid and I got our own phone plan this weekend. For the past week, Reid had to leave his phone open, or the screen would freeze and he couldn't use his phone at all. It was kinda sad. But with our new phones came new numbers...
Reid: (913) 548-7630 Tara: (913) 548-7954
Last but not least Reid was in town this weekend for a (pre) birthday dinner with my family and marriage counseling. We both agreed that this was one of the better sessions we have had. All those books must be paying off.
The Good News Continues...
So even though our bball game didn't end so well, we came home to more exciting news!
Reid got accepted into Gonzaga and they offered him a scholarship! Always good news to hear. I don't think either of us expected to hear from schools this soon but it's been great news so far and hopefully more to come. Back to the waiting game...
