My trip to Kansas

Addison and I just got back from our trip to Kansas Monday night. We flew down last Thursday evening. It was a great time. We got to Salina early early Friday morning. Thanks Dad for driving to get us late at night!!! Poor mom had to wait until morning to get to hold Addie since she was dead asleep. That day we got to see my sister Angie, cutie nephew Cooper, my aunt Janice, uncle Gerald and my grandmother. That night I went to Manhattan to go out with some of my girlfriends from college. I stayed with my friend, Jen, who has such a beautiful house it makes me want to build a house! We went to dinner at my favorite deli/bar, Rock A Belly Deli. It was sooo yummy. While we were there the K-State band came in and played a few songs to get the fans pumped up. It was so neat. As you can see from the picture it's a pretty small place (I am at the back of the restaurant) so it was really loud. It was awesome!





I was so excited to get to hang out with these awesome ladies. From left to right: Andrea, Jen, Jenni, Me, and Angi. We had a good time, drank a few beers, and then Jen and I called it a night around eleven. Just can't party like we used to.

The weather was perfect the next day for the game. Jen offered me one of her tickets. She and her husband, Josh, have really great seats. It was an awesome day for football. To bad the Cats stunk up the field. I'm not even going to go there....we lost......end of story. Anyways, I got to see the gals again at half time plus my friends Amy, Lori, Mauri and Rhonda!

The man sitting next to me asked if we were sisters. I do think we look a like! Dad and I headed back to Salina after the game and just hung out at home the rest of the day. I'm so glad I got to spend time with my parents and Angie and Cooper. Cooper has found his gift for gab. Wish I knew what he was saying because he is certainly saying something!

On Sunday my friend, Kelly, who has started her own photography business, came over to take Addison's picture. I just got to see them online and they are soooo good! You can go to her blog and check out a sneak peek! It was great seeing Kelly again. Someday I am going to fly her down here so she can take some family pictures of us on the beach! Later that day we went out to the farm. This is where my mom grew up and where my grandmother lived until recently. Now my Aunt Jackie and Uncle Bob own the house and are busy renovating it. It was great seeing everyone and I'm so happy y'all got to meet Addison. (it was hot in the house because the air conditioner wasn't working -- that's why Addie is in just her diaper!)
Addie and I headed back to Gulfport Monday afternoon. I am so happy I got to see my family and friends. I don't have any plans to go back to KS but I'm sure I'll make it back there at least once next year. I miss everyone there so much.
