Our year started out with a "bang". But that was just because Roger got to pick out a new rifle.
Roger in Cabela's = a kid in the candy shop!
Then our bang got really quiet for a few months. . . . .
Jessica "Said Yes!" in May. We were very fortunate that Gabe asked her while they were home visiting us. So we got to give the hugs in person!! Her and Gabe has set the date for April 11, 2015. Let the planning begin!
Michele also had a busy May. Besides a trip home, she traveled to New Jersey for work. And then made that trip again in June. They are very busy when they go, but did get a night on both trips to go into New York and do some sightseeing. And of course got her share of trying new foods.
The Color Vibe was also in June. Jessica, Michele, Nick, Gloria, Brooke and I was in it in Topeka. It was not quite as much fun as The Color Run was the year before, but still felt good to be able to finish it. Go team! Then Jessica, Michele and I made a quick trip to our favorite, The West Bottoms, and made our "first" wedding purchase.
The beginning of July Courtney and I met at Jenny's with Jessica, Michele and Nick. It was then a road trip to Toby Keith's Twister Relief Concert in Norman Oklahoma. Twelve hours of H.O.T great music. What fun we had!
September Roger and I celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary. And what a better way to spend it! A long weekend at our girls in Topeka. I got to choose. . . .a day for two in Kansas City. Shopping in The West Bottoms and of course Cabela's. Which was my day to pick out my new handgun. The next morning we got up with the birds for The Balloon Festival. Beautiful to be among them inflating and flying the balloons.
The next weekend we then traveled to Wichita for the annual Ummel Reunion. Camp Ummel was a blast. I wonder what next year will bring??
September was also the month that Mishi got rear ended. Darn! But that Mustang is good as new now!
In the middle of all this, Jessica's job was downsized. BUT. . . it didn't take her long and is now enjoying her new one. Yea! Sometimes things happen for a reason.
In October I put in my resignation for my last day of December 20th. Two years ago I went from working full time to part time. Now I am prn. This was in hopes that the resting will help my health. You are asking how did that turn out? I have to say it is probably the best decision we have ever made!
Michele went and seen Blake Shelton in October!
And in November her and I did a mom/daughter's trip to LasVegas! We had a great time! Garth Brooks. Our first helicopter ride. (I didn't up my cookies!) Hoover Dam. Lake Mead. And LOTS of shopping.
My Mom has had many surgeries this year. And then ended up with staff. Yuck! Something she will be fighting for a very long time, but hopefully she is on the mend.
The good things. And the not so good things. Time just keeps going on.
