Josh Groban

Ryan bought us Josh Groban tickets for a birthday/anniversay gift way back in May. We've been so busy lately that I haven't been able to get in the mode. As we were walking to the ESA last night we noticed signs on the doors that said Josh Groban Live will be recorded tonight. I noted to Ryan that that meant we'd get an extra special show. So, look for us on the Josh Groban Awake Tour DVD! The tickets Ryan bought were floor seats, section 3, but Ryan thought they'd be in the back of the floor. We preceded to follow the usher, up, up, up to the very front. She said,

"Here's row 4!"

I told Ryan that I thought I was going to cry. We sat 4 rows back from the stage! The concert was amazing! It seemed really staged to me, which was kind of disappointing, but nevertheless, very good. Included are the reviews from the Trib, and Des News, check them out! Here are some pics I got, along with some video.

Countertops!

No, this is not ours..one of Ryan's colleagues asked him to store it for him for awhile. He has a couple others also. Ryan is happy and can play whenever he wants. Let's hope the neighbors don't get too mad! It looks pretty good though, right?



Take a look at that beauty!



Our countertops finally got installed today. I love the undermount sink!



The color's a little different than I thought, but still looks good with the tile. We're going to have to paint the walls a different color than we planned on to blend it all together.



Our bathroom "uba Tuba."



Looks great! Now we just need to fill in the green....

CEU Scholarship

Just a little shout out to our college. Go Eagles! We made it on the news!

Remodel Day 5

Tiling! How fun! It's very unfortunate that our floor was so crappy. My dad came Monday night to look at it, and decided we'd better buy some backerboard to lay down first. So instead of the whole thing taking two hours, it took all day. But, it looks great so far! Ryan and I calculated wrong, so we didn't have enough tile. We ordered more boxes, which won't come in until next week, so our deadline draws nearer still. There's a picture of our new carpet, which we got a free pad upgrade on, and our cabinets that are all painted now. Toni came over on her lunch break to see the Condo, and then she came over after to help lay the tile. Last night we had dinner with my family to celebrate a late birthday for Ryan. (It was on Sunday)

Father's Day

Ryan surprised his Dad for Father's day by giving him Yankees tickets. Ryan teamed up with his cousin, and two brothers, and took a trip to Kansas City the last week in July to watch them play against the Royals. His dad and uncle are huge Yankees fans, but have never seen them play. The boys aren't fans, and like to tease them about it. They took the time to visit some church history sites while they were there. Here are some pictures from Adom-Ondi-Ahman, Liberty Jail, Haun's Mill, Far West, the Amish, and the game.
