I simply adore this picture! :) Seriously can't wait for the next 2 1/2 weeks to pass by! I miss him! He is the most genuine, sweet, and real guy I've ever met! I could go on and on about all the things I like about him, but I shall save that for another time. :) I love how we accidentally matched on our way to church that night! :) *sigh* He makes me smile! :)

Off to Ole Miss land!

This past weekend was amazing!!! I drove down to Mississippi to see my handsome boyfriend! :) *aww* I seriously had the best time and loved getting to spend time with *him*! It's hard when your 11 hours away!

I was so honored to meet some of Dwight's best friends, Paige and Bradley. They are fabulous people whom I had an instant connection with. I felt like they were family. They were so kind to let me stay in their home! (I *stole* this picture from her facebook page since I failed to get one of them myself.) I left feeling like I had gained a sister in Paige. Love them!

When I arrived, I was able to meet them and Dwight's Mom, Janet! She's so sweet! Excited to get to know her more! She had bought me flowers and had a goodie bag full of food for me for my drive back! Along with some goodies that Dwight bought for me! The flowers were gorgeous!!

We hung around and talked for awhile and then Dwight and I headed out for date night! We ate dinner at Biaggi's...a fabulous Italian restaurant! They had some awesome fountains in the courtyard that we had to have a photo op! :)

We went across the street to a Fresh Market and walked around--loved it! And saw some other fountains in the shopping area! LOVE this fountain!! It reminded me of Kansas City! 

Self portrait time! :) Next time we'll have to have someone take better pictures of us in front of it! :)

My gorgeous tulips!!

We went to this flea market type shop, in Fondren, which was really cool by the way! It had this sweet little cafe right in the middle of it! How cool is that?!

Next door was Brent's Drugstore. SUCH a cool place!!

Inside the drugstore was an old diner! Bless! I love little places like this!!!

And what better thing to do while we're there? Get a milkshake!! Yummo!!

We saw this really cool War Memorial!

Friday night before we left for church! I adore this picture! :)

Full length

 Saturday, off to do some shopping!

 Paige and I as we got to the mall! Love this girl!!!

D and I at the mall! I don't like this picture of me, but D looks good! :)

D surprised me with this gorgeous rose while we were out and about! So very sweet! :) It's the little things!

Mr. Chef himself cooking a fabulous dinner!! He is such a great cook!!! Love his bbq sauce! That's a big deal for a Kansas City girl! ;)

Photo op in the midst of cooking dinner! I love this picture! :)

Last but not least...we had our pictures taken-for the fun of it- while I was there!! We had a lot of fun taking these! I love this picture!! Can't wait to see the rest of them from Geran Photos!!

Now...will the next 2 1/2 weeks please come quickly so I can see him again?! :)

Happy Easter!

Hope everyone had a fabulous Easter!!! Amongst all the fun of searching for eggs and getting all dressed up, I pray that we remember what Easter is all about!

Here is a couple of pictures of my sweet friend Angela and I after church on Easter Sunday!

This is Sissy (Noelle) and Caedyn after they found their eggs! It was so sweet! Sissy didn't have as many so Caedyn was helping her get some! :) Love those kiddos!

PBR Rodeo

Some friends and I recently went to the PBR Rodeo here in Kansas City! Let's just say, there is definitely a first time for everything! LOL I am not a Rodeo kind of girl. But it was honestly a lot of fun! I loved getting to hang out with my dear friends!

Although my sweet friend, Angela, had to explain EVERYthing to me because I really didn't have a clue what was going on! But, all in all, we had a wonderful time! YEEHAW! :)

Power Up Conference

We recently had the Power Up Conference at our church! If I had one word to sum it up, it would be...FABULOUS!!!! There was so much anointing, power, and faith in those services! I'm so thankful for the direct words from God that I received!! Thankful for the things that he has ...YET to do! God gave us many words that I have been holding onto! I'm so excited about what God is doing not only in my personal life but in our church! TLC is the most amazing church I've ever been apart of! Can't wait to see how God blesses TLC the rest of the year!

Spring Time!

I love Spring time in Kansas City!! It's so beautiful! I love a good snowy winter but there is just something about when everything comes back to life!! Things get green and flowers start blooming!

This beautiful flowering tree is in our backyard!

Up close! So beautiful!
I love the redbud trees this time of year!
So pretty!!

These pictures were taken a couple weeks ago, everything is starting to get super GREEN now and it's even more gorgeous!! :) I love God's creations!

St Patty's Day Parade

So, I'm just a "tad" bit late.....

......but.......

Happy St. Patty's Day!!! LOL

Did you wear green?!

If you didn't, I bet you got pinched!! :) It's okay to admit it. lol

My friend Mel and I joined up with our friends Angela and Danny and their son Daniel! We had a great time! It was Kansas City's 40th Anniversary for the St. Pat's Day Parade! We had a great time...and let me tell you. We saw just about everything! Lord help!

This is Mel and I hanging out at the parade. It was so bright outside! And yes, we got sun-burnt on ONE side of our face! bahaha Ok, maybe not that much of an exaggeration but it was most definitely a lop-sided burn! LOL!

Angela and I!
And the parade begins!! Love seeing those men in uniform! Thankful for the men that serve our country!
Loved seeing all the old cars! I would love to take a ride in one of these one day!

ha!! Daniel and I with the crazy ole clown. And that was just it.....crazy!
Me with Mel and Angela! :) Love these gals!

Ah!! Dancing horses!!! That was the coolest thing ever!! Never seen that before!

There you have it friends! A taste of what the Kansas City St. Patrick's Day parade is all about it! :)

S.A.M.

I am so thankful for S.A.M. (Single Adult Ministry)! Through the last several years I have been on some amazing trips and met some of the most amazing people that I know we will be friends for a lifetime. We had a mini S.A.M. reunion a couple weeks ago! It was sooo good for us all to hang out together again, even if it was only for a short time!

Parisi Cafe

So, Union Station has this a.m.a.z.i.n.g coffee shop!!! This Parisi Coffee Shop is fabuloso!! Such a cool atmosphere right in the middle of Union Station! It's become another favorite spot of mine in Kansas City! :)
This is inside the coffee shop! :)
And it's full of big black and white pictures....which is even more amazing!
And their coffee art....
...is amazing! How do they do that?!

Totally love the sitting area!!

Kansas City

Have I ever mentioned just how much I LOVE this beautiful city?! A couple weeks ago, my sweet friend Melodie came for a visit! We had a wonderful time! And while I was waiting for her to get into town, I just had to hang out in the city for awhile...





This beautiful city...full of each season, the BEST BBQ, fountains, and Jazz! What's not to love?! :)
