mongoose on ice.

Casey and I had a good first married Christmas. We were in St. Louis and spent it with our families. It went by fast but it was good.







We were so glad to see some friends the Friday after Christmas. (The Reinken's and Kelly's)

Casey has officially put 62,000 miles on his car after driving home from St. Louis.

We spent New Year's Eve playing Scrabble. It's our favorite game. (We're such partiers.)




Today Casey and I went to see Marley and Me. We really enjoyed it mostly because the movie showed the realistic and not-so-fun-parts of being married and starting a family which we can relate to. It was just a good, sweet, PG movie and a nice treat. It made me cry but everything makes me cry.

After the movie, we went ice skating at a little outdoor skating rink. Casey was being a rock star with his hockey skates on. He called himself a "mongoose on ice."

You can see for yourself.

Update on Casey

Since I'm not much of a blogger anymore, here is what I am up to.

So I put up Christmas lights for Kristin and a R.O.U.S. ate them. (Rodent of unusual size)

Something made a nest out of sticks and our Christmas lights.






I am helping this guy who has a Porsche garage. Here are some of the cars I've been working on.








Kristin had to work on Sunday afternoon so I decided, because it was 9 degrees outside, That I would go to the Chiefs game. I thought I could get a ticket for cheap because it was cold, the last weekend before Christmas, and well they're the Chiefs. So yes I got a ticket for $10 and then got my car towed and that only cost $205. I don't want to talk about it.












That is that and it pretty much sums up life.

I am trying to go to school to become a mechanic so you can pray for the process if you want.

the PLAZA.

Before the arctic freeze took over Kansas City, we went to the Plaza to see the Christmas lights. It was fun to be apart of the hustle and bustle and be able to get outside and walk.

Story of the night: As we were crossing the street, a car kept coming at us as if it were going to run us over. Casey, wanting to defend his wife's honor, punches the car hoping that there would be words. But (thankfully) the car didn't stop and there was no confrontation.




Whenever Casey sees letters, he likes to spell out his name. He found these letters in Anthropologie.

taco NIGHT.

We had our first "taco" night the other night.

I made them just like my Grandma does. She always fries her own shells. Yummy.

Ours were not as good as hers. I'll have to watch her next time so I can get tips.

let it snow.

It's snowing here in Kansas City. The roads are really bad and apparently Kansas City doesn't believe in salt or plows. Thankfully I was off today so I didn't have to get anywhere. I don't drive in the snow well.

Lights.
