Monday

Monday we woke up and met everyone for bfast to say goodbye. Kelly, Beth and the girls were heading home. However, Mom, Dad and I were taking Taylor to the Arch since she hadn't ever been to St. Louis. Here are the pictures.

Just thought this was kinda cool.

We had a great weekend and were very excited that we had visitors. Who is coming to see us next???

Little Rock

Here are some more pictures from our trip to Little Rock last weekend. We visited the Hills family TWICE and I didn't take a single picture of Nate. Not like me at all. Maybe we will see them again sometime really soon!!

Berry/Clark Wedding

Last weekend we traveled to Little Rock for many reasons....one being the wedding of our friends from college, Elisabeth and David. The wedding was at John's church and his pastor officiated. It was beautiful, simple and elegant wedding. The bride was beautiful, food/cake was yummy, and we were able to see several of our friends from Union.

My Birthday @ the Office

This is what my cube looked like when I walked in on Friday. I had never seen so much confetti IN MY LIFE!!! I cleaned up what I could, but I am still finding it hidden in places you would never think of finding confetti. The girls even created a "fake" purchase order for me (I have to deal with these on a daily basis and get tired of seeing them). At least I know that I am loved. :-)

Me in my cube...I don't really know how I got in there.

EVERYTHING was covered in streamers and confetti! Notice that my phone (left), monitors and keyboard are all wrapped up.

Flowers from my hubby!



Confetti in my file drawer and even in the files.

Flowers from my boss!

Two More Birthdays!!!

Yesterday (Sunday the 24th) was my uncle Luther's bday. Hope you had a great one!! ( I don't have a picture of him that I can find)

Tomorrow (Tuesday the 26th) is my very good friend Andrea's bday. She is sharing in the pain of now being in our late 20's! Here we are at her wedding back in December '07.

There is still one more birthday to come this month. Hope all of the celebrations have been wonderful! Love you all!!! :-)

more birthdays...

Friday was my 26th birthday. So I am offically in my late 20's. Don't really know how I feel about that. Oh well!

It was also my grandfather's birthday! Happy bday, Pa! I love you!!

I walked into work Friday and the girls had decorated my cube. Don't worry I took pictures and they will be posted once we return from Little Rock.

That leads me to the weekend...we are in Little Rock through Monday. We are going to some friends from college wedding and spending some time with John's family. We will also be meeting Nate Hills (finally)!!

Also, I am testing out posting from my blackberry. I don't know if I like it or not. Maybe this will lead to more postings?!?

Have a great weekend!

Robi in the Lou

This weekend was filled with time with John's parents. The got here Friday afternoon. We had dinner Friday at Dewy's Pizza here in Kirkwood. This place is yummy. If any of you come to visit remind us to take you there! :-)

Saturday, we got up and had bfast at our normal spot and then went to the History museum to see an exhibit on Lee & Grant. The pictures below are while we were waiting for the museum to open. Then it was off to lunch and time for shopping!

We had a great weekend and always love when we have visitors!

Branson

A few weeks ago we decided that we would take a late trip for our anniversary. We went to Branson and had a good time. We even took a day off! Saturday we shopped ALOT and then had dinner at the White River Fish Co. (I think). The picture below is from the "deck" at the restaurant.

Sunday, we went to the water park - White Water. We had a blast being "big kids". Then it was dinner at Outback, a steakhouse (different from Outback Steakhouse the chain). I was pretty good. After dinner we went and rode go carts at the wooden track. It was a bumpy ride but I BEAT JOHNNY!!! :-)
