The last bunko. :(

Since I am moving during the next month, last Tuesday was the last bunko that I will be able to attend as a "regular member." Don't get me wrong, I definitely plan to crash it every once in awhile when I can sneak away from work in Topeka. It's been such a great group to be a part of during the last year and I will miss our monthly gathering to talk, snack, complain, laugh.

We had a really good time, even though the TV in the background showed KU beating KSU...things were made better when my friend Kylie served an amazing oreo ice cream pie that she made...so good; I will definitely be making that recipe sometime soon! I am hoping to get some new bunko groups going as I migrate north! Here are a few pictures taken during the evening.

Me, with our host Kylie
Jenny and Lyndsey....
Libby and Tasha...
Katie and Lindsay....
The newest Mommy, Molly....hard to believe little Elena is almost 4 months old!
The current pregnant crop: Katie who is due in July, Libby due in May, Emmy due in August and Kylie due in February! I have learned a lot about prenancy during my time around all these girls- craziness! :)

Elena Rae Makes an Appearance! + Good News

Tonight Molly brought her sweet baby girl Elena to bunko and we all had the best time passing her around and holding her. Lots of "oohs" and "ahs"...she is REALLY cute! Here are some pictures.....and my big announcement, as of 5:00 p.m., CST, I am allowed to wear my contacts again according to my opthamologist. Yea!!! I am looking forward to doing that again!

Kylie with sweet Elena....very cute!

Molly, the proud new mommy! The winners with their festive prizes- Sarah, Emmy and Molly! Maybe I will win next time. :(

Let the Good Times Roll...

Last night I did one of my favorite things here in Wichita! I went to my monthly "Bunko Night"!! We started the group in February and I think everyone would agree it's just a really fun night to get together with friends we don't get to see often enough. For those with kiddos and husbands, it's a nice way for them to get away too!

For those non-bunko'ers, it's basically a dice game that requires zero skill or talent, except to be able to roll dice, talk and eat snacks at the same time (harder than it sounds). You either want to win the most games, get the most "bunkos," which is when you roll 3 of a kind when you're "on" that number, or you want to lose the most games and be declared the "booby." For all of these three lucky ladies out of the 12, they go home with fabulous prizes and more importantly bragging rights until the next month!! I won in May and sadly that is all! However, I did get some great tea lights and a candle holder, which I really enjoy (thanks Molly!). Last night we were at Jenny's house where she served delicious snacks (including some awesome brownies and pinwheels) and here are a few pics from the fun:

Kylie and Sarah preparing to play some Bunko! All smiles!!

Tasha and Lyndsey break for a pose...

Me with my friend Katie...hard to see in the picture, but I am wearing a dress that is the same as Katie's shirt....

****Eyeball Update****

As my journey continues to get my eye fixed, I went to an opthamologist in town today that specializes in corneas. She was SUPER! I would highly recommend Dr. Patel to anyone in Wichita that ever needs a cornea specialist!! She assured me that we wouldn't have to amputate, so that made me rest easy! Long story short, I had an ulcer on my cornea last week and that caused my other opthamologist to refer to this doc....she said I have virtually no tears or moisture in my left eye. So....what does this mean you ask? More wearing my glassess, lots of eyedrops, which happen to be expensive. :( But whatever it takes to get this fixed up! I will keep you all posted as you await on the edge of you chairs!!
