Big Cedar Lodge

Kyle and I just returned from a trip to Ridgedale, Missouri for his Summer Regional Meeting. We left on Thursday to drive halfway to Fayetteville, Arkansas. Then we left for Big Cedar Lodge on Friday morning. This was Kyle's second regional meeting, but my first . . . last year I was busy being a bridesmaid in Kelly and Nam's wedding.

The place we stayed was awesome! We had our own little cottage in the middle of lots of beautiful mountains and waterfalls. There were a ton of fun activities, although there wasn't quite enough time to enjoy them all. The last night we were there was "Fifties Night" and we had to dress the part. While that part was fun it was a bit uncomfortable. I wore a pair of pants that were Sherri's in high school. Needless to say, I was ready to change! At dinner that night there was an awards ceremony, and Kyle won 2 awards. I am so proud of him. This is definitely a challenging time in his line of work. To keep his head above water is hard enough, but to win two production awards was exciting for him and for me . . . although he really won't admit it.

Here are some pictures from our weekend:


Stopping in Fayetteville and partying like we

However, that is really Kyle's letter jacket
from high school.)

Six Years Already!

Sunday, June 21st was our 6 year wedding anniversary. Since it was Father's Day, we actually celebrated on Saturday. We went and ate lunch at Harry's and played golf at Pebble Creek. Kyle would have preferred an 18 hole course, but I'm not quite ready for that yet . . . plus it was about 99 degrees out! We also went to see the movie The Hangover. It was hilarious! Everyone in the theater was cracking up!

It was a fun day! Kyle got me a bottle of Laugh . . . I've been asking for it since Christmas. :) He also got me a Beagle head cover for my driver. I got him a Titleist golf hat. It's orange, black, and white and has OSU on the side. I also got him a gift card to the website where I bought the hat. They have a ton of cool golf stuff. I kind of went for a whole golf theme. . . I also had a picture framed of him playing golf in Hawaii for his office. Here a the few pics we got:

A picture of us . . . we had no one to take the picture, so we had to set the timer on our camera. These never come out as good as you think they will!
