Long overdue.

During my stay-at-home-sick-from-work yesterday I finally did something that has been on my uber pressing to-do list for a long time. I watched "The Breakfast Club". My good friend since college Lindsay started a breakfast club of her own in Wichita shortly after I moved from there. She invites a group of gals every month to try a different establishment that serves breakfast and I happened to be in town one weekend and got to join. When she first started it, she casually mentioned that the name was based on the movie "The Breakfast Club" and I mentioned I hadn't seen it. WHAT?!?!?!?!?!? You would have thought I said that I murdered someone's puppy. It seemed unfathamable to her that I hadn't seen it. So, 6 months later, I have FINALLY taken care of this and watched the epic film. I can see why everyone loves it so much. Thanks for the push I needed to watch a classic Linds! :)

Saddest Thing Ever...

Over the course of the last week I have progressively lost my voice and this weekend I am left with not much of any voice! :( Now, for those of you that know me, you know that talking is one of the consistent activities in my life! And as far as being a speech therapist....kinda tricky without the ability to talk. So, I am taking it easy and have put myself on vocal rest...hopefully it returns soon!!

Congratulations Lisa and Patrick!

Last night I went to a coworkers wedding with a bunch of friends from work...what a fun time! I loved the fall decorations at the church and reception hall and we had fun dancing and celebrating with the couple. I even caught the bouquet...we'll see what that brings. :)

The blushing bride! Very pretty!!

Everyone from work: Linsey, Megan, Kristen, Leslie, Lisa, Angie, Sarah, me and Lindy.

Hall of Fame...

Ten years ago, I was starting my senior year of high school and was getting ready to start my last season of basketball. In March of 2000 we ended our season 22-3 and won the 5A State championship. Such an awesome experience with some of my very good friends from high school. Last summer I got an email from our coach that we were chosen to be inducted into the Topeka West High School Athletic Hall of Fame...what an honor! My coach also asked me to give the acceptance speech for our team.

Thursday night we all came with our families and went to the induction ceremony at the high school. It was really great to see everyone! Last night, they introduced all of the inductees at the high school football game at halftime. Several girls from our team came and we went our for a bit afterwards. Here are some pictures...

Our 3 coaches at the ceremony, including Coach Goehring introducing our team...Coach Murray and Svaty with him...

Me giving the acceptance speech....glad that's over!
