some KC adventures

We are really good at short and sweet trips, apparently. Anytime that we are gone for longer than 3-4 days, I feel a little weirded out.
True to form, September saw us in KC for coffee and friends and concerts.  




I want these stairs in my house















Things we learned and did and ate:

We managed to hit up Cafe Main, Second Best and The Roasterie for muy bien coffee (well, I got the hot chocolate at Second Best because it is LITRALLY the best hot chocolate in my life). 
We learned that when your friend tells you that he knows of this great place to get gyros, but it's in a gas station, you should definitely get the gyros. Because they are the best you have ever eaten. Ever.
We stood for hours in a stinking hot venue to listen to Josh Garrels live because HE IS AMAZING live. And worth every bit of potential dehydration that you experience and the lack of personal space and all the sweaty clothes and BO all up in your grill.
(If you can see Josh Garrels live, you should definitely make that life experience happen.) 
We remembered that the friends we made in college are still some of the best people that we know. Thankful for those shaping years. 
We learned that big biscuits and brunch are worth sharing.
We road tripped together, which is one of our favorite things, and something we did a lot back in the day when we were "just friends". (No, but really, we were just friends)

KC, we love you. Keep doing you.

nothing new [under the sun]

I feel like I am in a transition place. waiting. planning. carrying on with "normal" life. anticipating the changes that the future holds. just trying to get laundry done and keep the dishes washed and the bags out of the way of foot traffic. I feel like I have been blessed with so much.   a great support network of friends. awesome church family. job = perfect for me. so many opportunities to satisfy my wanderlust this year. the black hills in my back yard. family who love Christ and love me.  that's why I was a little surprised to find myself searching. to find myself dissatisfied . i wanted more  places to go. more people to spend time with. longer nights. everyone's schedule planned around me. better experiences. more adrenaline thrills. time off work. the responsibilities to take care of themselves. why is it not enough?  because i found myself seeking for attention  or acceptance  or satisfaction anywhere other than fro...

Hello (a long, rambling introduction).

If you have been reading this blog for longer than two seconds, you most likely have been with me for some pretty painful blogging years (let's be real: they probably aren't over). Those early days -yikes. I have long held to the personal principal that I started this blog for fun, and that's how I want to keep it -however weird it may get at times. I don't want to feel like I have to produce content to keep up the page views or to sell a product or to get some Pinterest pins.  I think (ok KNOW) part of that is due to pride. In other words, if I am not feeling like I have anything to publish here that will be The Best, and get a lot of shares or comments or ... whatever... then I don't want to do it. A lot of what Amelia wrote recently resonated with me in that regard. I read a lot of blogs. I have a lot of friends and acquaintances who blog. I am guilty of condescendingly rolling my internal eye-balls at people I feel like are just blogging to get the page c...
