Ketchup Date.....

On Thursday I ended up having to work pretty late so R-man offered to pick me up (yay for not having to ride the metro) and take me for a nice dinner. I was watching The Hills a couple of seasons ago and they went to this place called Ketchup to eat.  I found one in DC and immediately wanted to try it out.  The food was pretty good and the atmosphere was nice. Their thing is that they give you 6 different kinds of ketchup. It was cool until I realized I only liked two of them (one of the two may have been the straight up normal ketchup…lame I know). Ryan enjoyed the others....especially the spicy ones.

We both look really tired!

Oh and later in the weekend Ryan ate this:

From the first time the commercial for KFC came on introducing it he wanted one. I thought it was out of control…..but to each his own!
 
I realize from this post it looks like we eat out a bunch....but we don't.  Well we do quite a bit on the weekends but I promise I do cook for us!
 

One of those days.....

Sometimes you just need this to get through the day:

Georgetown Cupcakes.....

I just saw this article on Real Simple's website about Georgetown Cupcake.  Apparently they recently got a TLC reality show.  I just thought it was cool and got super excited. 

Also they ship their cupcakes......or you could just come visit me and I will take you there!

Back Home.....

I had a wonderful trip back to Missouri this past weekend. Ryan and I both were so relaxed and stress free. My weekend was filled with family, friends, and babies! I love that almost all of my friends were able to make it out for dinner....it was so nice catching up with all of them.  I got to see my Ean baby when Jen came over for awhile to visit.  He is getting so big.  I love how he frowns a little.  Kendall even let me disturb her settling in after baby time to come over and meet Presley Ann.  She is so beautiful.   

Ean

Presley Ann

I also decided I was completely done with my hair and my lovely sister cut it for me.  She is pretty much amazing!!!!  Oh and if you are in Springfield you should definitely make an appointment with her. 

One of my favorite things has to be the Branson airport. As soon as we stepped off the plane I seriously couldn't believe it….I thought they had dropped us off at Bass Pro instead. It was all so funny. While it may seem like I am making fun of it I actually felt very comfortable and it was nice to not have a line at security (we were the only flight leaving). I also really enjoyed that as our plane pulled away to take off all of the ground crew, including the ticket lady, stepped out and waved good-bye to us. Now that is why I love the Midwest.

Airport Chairs....craziness!!!

Straight up Bass Pro

This is in the ticketing area....only Branson would have a deer head

Lately I had been thinking it would be ok to live out here forever, but after going home I realized that is where I belong. I like being able to drive to see my family and see all the new babies my friends have.

For now out here will be my little adventure…..and I will eat as many cupcakes as possible!!!!!

WHAT.....no food pictures in this post. Ok here is kind of one....it is of me and my Momma at Lambert's. 

Yeah I know it is dark but you can kind of see our huge plates!
