I Promise I'm Alive

Alright guys, I'm sorry. I'm seriously so, so sorry. When the new year came and I pledged to blog more, I didn't realize how busy life was going to become. I know I sound like a broken record saying that... "I'm so busy!"... blah, blah, blah. It shouldn't be an excuse; I know it's really not. The truth of it is, I haven't done a very good job of getting posts queued when I've got a chance to write a few. WELL, here I am! I'm back with an update on what's been going on here lately!

The biggest thing to happen in KC over the past few weeks was baseball season starting back up! We've missed our Royals these past six months during off season, and man oh man are we happy for the time of year including baseball, beer, and BBQ's to be back! There's nothing like it.

  

Here's a few random snapshots from school recently. Selfies taken on Mrs. Harper's cell phone always make for a fun distraction from what we really should be doing, ya know?

  

Something else kind of cool that we've done lately is go to see the KC Symphony play!! One of Ben's adult students has season tickets, and she and her husband weren't going to be able to make this show so they gave the tickets to us! This was an especially neat experience because my parents' next-door neighbor actually plays the Viola in the KC Symphony, so not only did we see a great concert, but we got to visit with him for a bit as well. He and Ben have bonded a bit over music, so it was a memorable experience.

  

Other than that, here are just a few photos of what's been going on with our fam bam!

  

Our cat Evvy is ever the super model. We've been trying to prepare her for our big move to a new house by telling her she'll have her own room and such... do you think she understands us!?

I also recently got this card from Gap in the mail that had a $10 Starbucks card to thank me for my community service over the past year! This was a really fun surprise; I took Ben out for coffee the next day!

Other than that, days have been filled with house hunting, a winery date with my best girls (post to come), preparing for and chaperoning Prom, and now completing paperwork for all of my graduating seniors on my caseload! Not to mention our state testing starts on Monday! It's crazy, but I'm excited about all of the things coming up. For now, I will take advantage of the quiet Sunday mornings that I depend on to make myself breakfast and enjoy my coffee.

  

What about you guys? What have you been up to? XXO
