Treads And Threads

A few weeks ago, Jacob and I had the honor of going to a black tie affair! It was called Treads and Threads and it was a benefit to raise money for cancer treatment and research. It was in the center of the track at the Nascar speedway here in KC. We went with a large group of Jacob's co-workers from KU. First, we met at a co-worker's house for pre-party cocktails, then we all piled into a van and had a DD drive us out to the Speedway. There was so much food and drinks and dancing!!! All of the finest restaurants in KC catered the event so we got to sample all the places we have never been able to afford! It was the latest night we have had in many years and we were not feeling too well the next day but it was SO much fun!!!

Trisha Yearwood was the entertainment for the night as well as a dancing band from Florida.

Getting some random drunk woman to take our picture!

My Little Family:)

The two most important things in my life:) (Plus Miss Molly, of course!)

Golf Galore

A few weekends in August and September were spent watching my dad play in golf tournaments in Sedalia. It's only about an hour away from KC so it's been fun just going over for the day and bopping around the golf course in a golf cart and spending time with my parents. Here are just a few pictures from those weekends. I am really enjoying have my time off be actual time off to do things I want to do instead of spending my time off studying! Dad's team came in 2nd in the first tournament but him and his partner, BJ, won 1st place at the second...YAY!!!Dad and BJ. They have been best friends for YEARS and have played in countless tournaments together.

BJ and his daughter, Bailey

Mom and Dad:)

I think the plaid shorts are cute!

My dad and Bailey. This picture makes me think about when I was that age and Dad trying to teach me how to play golf. I spent SO many hours on golf ranges and courses...wonderful memories! Me and my dad.

Erika's Wedding

So while everyone is in Columbia for Erika's wedding, are there going to be any girl get-togethers...because I really think that there should be! I miss everyone and think that some girl time is in order!

American Idol Concert

Yeah, that's right. I went to the American Idol concert at the Sprint Center. I feel like a groupie!! My mother in law got us both tickets as her birthday present. Throughout the TV show, she was a David Archuletta fan (little David) and I was of course, a David Cook fan. We had great seats...right down on the floor! I've been to several concerts at the Sprint Center...Elton John, Garth Brooks, Keith Urban...and the place was just as loud or louder when our home boy, David Cook came out on to the stage!! It was insane!! I have to admit though, I was definitely contributing to the noise. It was awesome! The others were good but it was obvious everyone was there to see our boy! They opened up one show and it sold out so they added another. KC was definitely showing the love and support!

He came out in a Tony Gonzalez jersey!!

Little David.

A few of my other favorites from the show...Michael Johns and Brooke.

It was a fun night!!! A few more concerts coming up this fall/winter to blog about so stay tuned!!
