Olathe, KS

What's in Olathe, KS you might ask? Well, there's an outlet mall, a University, some over-priced real estate, but most importantly, MY SISTER is in Olathe, KS, and that's where I was this weekend. I had such a great time! This was the first time I had flown by myself, and let me tell you.....I was nervous. I managed to navigate through O'Hare just fine, and after being searched "randomly" because my sweatshirt was too baggy I made it to my gate. Got on the plane, and we took off. It was pretty windy that day and it was REALLY bumpy the whole way to Kansas City. The guy next to me was literally FREAKING OUT the entire time. Rocking back and forth saying we were going to die......talk about in-flight entertainment! haha Chris, Carly and the girls all came to the airport to get me. We had a great weekend. The weather was nice, and the trees there are beautiful colors right now. We did a little shopping, went to a fall festival with Kailey and Lauryn, AND (drumroll, please...................) I got my ears pierced! I know, I sound like an 11 year old, right? Pretty exciting stuff. :) But there's no way I would have done it with out Carly (and I know you're going to read this..so thanks again!...oh, and Brian noticed right away!). Kailey and Lauryn have gotten so big. I'm going to try to post some pictures. We'll see if I can figure our how to do it.....

One more thing to throw out there---It is so easy to let time pass you by, and it seems like weeks blend into months, and then become years in the blink of an eye. Everyone gets wrapped up in their own life, and we make excuses about how we don't have the time to do some of the things we'd like to do. There is ALWAYS time NOW. Life is short. Counting on tomorrow is assuming. Make time to see your family no matter the distance....there just isn't any excuse not to.
