Entry 40: A Weekend On The Farm

This weekend we had the pleasure of going to visit Julie's parents and had a wonderful time. Unfortunately we got in late Friday night, but we made up for that on Saturday. Saturday started off by everyone going to Steelville so Julie could get alterations done on her dress. For some reason Lance was not allowed to see the dress (I guess it is bad luck or something), but he has been told it is beautiful and that he will cry when he sees it. After Steelville the men and women split up with the women going to Maurices and the men going to some thrift stores. Lance ended up adding to his Kurt Warner collection by buying a Kurt Warner bobble head and also a Kurt Warner sweatshirt. Julie also bought some new outfits, that Lance summed up in one word: WOW. After shopping we all took in a movie that was called Vantage Point. This movie was one of the best we have ever seen and it kept us all on the edge of our seats. We would recommend this movie to everyone. Unfortunately we had to leave Sunday, but we had an incredible time. Below you will see some pictures from this weekend.


The first two pictures are from the bedroom that Julie's parents recently fixed up:

Entry 39: Dinner With The Green's

Friday night we stopped off in Columbia, Missouri and had dinner with the Green family (Tara, Josh, and Carter) who are friends of Julie's. We had dinner at a nice restaurant called the 66 Diner which is outfitted in all 60's items. Julie had the hamburger, while Lance took Josh's advice and had the crab cakes with mac and cheese. It was a very good meal and a nice conversation. Below you will see a picture of Julie, Tara, and Carter.

Entry 37: The Flu Bug

It has been quite some time since we last posted, but this was all due to the fact that the flu bug recently hit the both of us. There is nothing terrible than feeling sick to your stomach and not having the enery to do anything. The good news is that we both finally appear to be over it and the blog should be updated more frequently.

Entry 36: Democracy At Work: Part 2

Well the votes are in and the verdict on the dog being in the wedding has been decided. Lance is a democrat and feels that since he won the popular vote that the dog should be in the wedding. Julie, however, feels that she had more superdelegates hence more electoral votes and that the dog should not be in the wedding. After much debate the decision was made that the dog would not be in the wedding. I realize that this upsets many people (yes Eric I was envisioning the Brady Bunch episode with Tiger), but the dog will not be attending the wedding but rest assured that the dog will be in our hearts on this glorious day.

Entry 35: Adventures In Babysitting

Tonight we had the pleasure of babysitting for our good friends the Langhorst's. They have a 4 year old girl and a 4 month old girl. It was decided before hand that Julie would take care of the 4 year old, while Lance handled the 4 month old. Everything went well with Julie reading a bedtime story and Lance being spit up on all over his shirt. All in all a good learning experience for the both of us.

Entry 34: Go Royals

Lance has been a long time fan of the Kansas City Royals and loves going to watch them play. As you can see from the picture above, Julie has finally started coming around and bought some Royals paraphernalia today. They should come in handy for all of the Royals games we are going to be seeing.

Entry 33: Happy Birthday And Get Well Soon

March 2nd is Lance's brothers birthday. Unfortunately, Todd will be spending a majority if not all of his birthday in the hospital. On Friday afternoon he was admnitted to the hospital due to problems with his appendix. Saturday they removed his appendix, but are still a little bit worried about some fluid around his pancreas. Todd is in our prayers and we wish him a speedy recovery.
