Just Checking In

Watching the "Fall" episode of Gilmore Girls A Year in the Life. Don't want it to end. Loved the revival on Netflix. Check it out if you haven't. You are missing out.

Can't believe Thanksgiving has come and gone already.

I got a dog since the last time I blogged. Her name is Maggie, she is a shih tzu.


Joined the local Junior League chapter.


Excited to go back to AZ next March for Spring Training 2017!!

Not sure what else to write. Does anyone even read this?

Spring Training Bound!

Credit

Look at what was added to Kauffman Stadium! 

In 2 days my Mom and I are headed to Phoenix, AZ for spring training!

Can't wait to explore and watch some baseball. The KC Royals are seriously my all time favorite team.

Have you ever been to spring training?

Black Friday Online

HI.
I am alive.
Long time no post.....
Just wanted to share the awesome deal I got on these two J Crew Factory vests.
$49 each! What a steal. Head on over to their site asap, everything is 50% off.
How cute are these mint and red vests. Holiday colors if you will?

Cancer SUCKS

Just learned my grandpa was diagnosed with lung cancer. He had a biopsy done today to find out what stage it is. He has tumors in both lungs, one pushing up against his heart. Wondering how long he has had this pain and his symptoms. Thinking he didn't get it checked out sooner because my step-nana was sick for a while and passed earlier this year.
Prayers please.
Hoping it's not in a late stage, that there are treatment options, and that he stops smoking.

DO NOT EVER SMOKE PEOPLE.

Chicago Trip Re-cap

Would you believe it....I am blogging? Say whattttt?

Hi.

Back in May myself, Andrew, and my parents took a weekend trip to Chicago. It was my first time there and we did lots of touristy things. We stayed outside of the city, rode the L train, did LOTS of walking, shopped, hit lost of main spots, watched a cubs game, a more. 

I would love to go back soon to hit up some stuff we didn't get to do, due to lack of time/things being too busy aka the aquarium, the zoo, architecture tour....to name a few.

I shall now leave you with pictures.

If you haven't been to Chicago before, you definitely need to check it out. 

Have you ever been? What is your favorite thing? 

He is ALIVE!

Found Here



HE is risen, indeed!
Happy Easter! May you be surrounded by his love, your loved ones, and have a great day.

Prayers Please

My Nana is going into hospice today. She is expected to only live a week or two longer. :( Your prayers and positive thoughts are appreciated. Thank you.


p.s. I will be back with a life update soon. I am the worlds worst blogger.

Still Here

What's this you're reading?? Why yes, I am still here. Been busy with nothing too exciting.

Celebrated the holidays with loved ones.
Had bronchitis last month. Boo.
Andrew went to Mexico with out me....for a week. Boo.
He and I finished watching Dexter....I miss it already.
Made a bunch of peanut butter blossom cookies- obsessed with them.
Started to save for my trip to Chicago in May!!
Used some holiday money and gift cards to get a scrap booking bag and Cards Against Humanity.
Tracked down a bottle of the rare Crown Town Ale by Boulevard. It was a limited edition brew. I had to have someone pull a few strings to get me that bottle you see below.
Attended at my work holiday party.
Any recommendations on where to go, what to do, what to eat, and see while in Chicago? Oh and where to stay too!
And now I shall leave you with pictures. Until next time....who knows when that will be. I lead a boring life.

Life Update

Well hello there. Thought I would stop in and share the latest instagram pics and give y'all a little update.
Honestly I suck at this whole blogging thing.

LOVE T Swift's new album. Honestly I was beginning to get tired of her older songs and only signing about the same shit over and over again. This album is refreshing to hear, and catchy. I dig it. :)

Andrew and I out celebrating a friend's birthday. My hair looks pretty awesome if I do say so myself. It never wants to stay that straight usually due to weather. Went to piano bar for the first time, it was a pretty good time. Let's just say I will be getting the fish bowl for myself next time.

SO incase you haven't been to Target in the last few days....TOMS came out with a collection specifically for Target. Bought this cozy blanket. 

A and I recently attended a bonfire hosted by our church. It was crazy warm to stand by, but was really chilly out, so the warmth was very much welcomed. We all stood around the fire eating smores and singing praise songs. It was a good time indeed.

Lately I've just been working and Andrew and I spend most nights watching Dexter on netflix or hanging out with friends/family.

I've recently decided to finish up/return to watching Gilmore Girls, now that it is on netflix...hello easy access. While the show was actually on TV at one point, I lost interest in the show. So I figured I would finish it up. Staring with Season 5 to end. Granted I am only like 3 episodes into season 5 to start playing catch up, but it's a start. Excited to see how it all ended up. 

Christmas list making and shopping are going to need to take place asap. We are doing secret santa at work this year, everyone is excited for it. (My idea, woot.) We drew names today. I need to make up a list for my parents. I learned that if I don't make a list, I will get storage containers....for sewing items. YEAH.....

I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving, the food, family time, the great messages at church. ALSO having the day after Turkey day OFF WORK. A sweet lady has agreed to cover my desk while I take a day off. She is returning a favor to me when I covered for her for 4 days this year while she was on vacation. Gotta start planning the day after. Sleep in, hit up the gym, and some shops. Maybe catch a movie. 

What have you been up to lately? Any special plans for Thanksgiving?

It's Good to be a Royal

Party like it's 1985 err 2014!!

That's right....the KANSAS CITY ROYALS are going to the WORLD SERIES for the first time in 29 years!!

Andrew and I got to attend the last ALDS game, swept it.

We had terrific seats for the ALDS game. 

Great weather temp wise, we were under covered seats, so we didn't get rained on.

Hit up the store and bought some t-shirts!

The last ALCS game I caught the end of it at home. 

SWEPT IT! TOOK THE PENNET.

HEADED TO THE WORLD SERIES 2014 BABY!!

SO SO SO proud of this city, this team, the fans!

It's a great time to be a KC ROYAL and a fan.

Love my hometown team.

Have you been watching the baseball games?

Who are you rooting for?

Holy Name Change Batman.....

Yup, you read that correctly. I changed my blog name, my instagram name, my twitter name, pinterest name, etc etc etc.
Something more adult and personalized. Lund25. Part of one of my names and endeavoring into the 25th year of life....fitting.
Will probably keep my email the same, too many accounts as it is already.
SO gotta work on a new header....but no editing skills. Help.

What's your favorite season and what's the best thing about it? Do you have a favorite thing to do in the fall?

Quarter of a Century

Also known as 25. Meep. September is a great month for a birthday!
First off, happy birthday to anyone born in September. :)

Today is the day....25 years ago at 12:44 pm I made my entrance into the world via emergency c-section. My umbilical cord was wrapped around my neck 3 times. NDB.

25 years later I am celebrating a little more low key. Tonight I am having dinner with family, having cake, and opening presents. Afterwords I'll be hosting a fire pit night for family and friends to help me celebrate my 25th year.

Here's to another great year, can't wait to see what this year of life holds. :) Oh and yay for lower car insurance?

Will do a post sometime soon about the birthday festivities-pics included.

It's Already Been 2 Years

Well well well.....would you look at that. We did it! Andrew and I have officially been dating for two years now! Our anniversary was on 8/18 and we kept it pretty low key, since it was a Monday.

We ate at Freddy's steak-burgers and frozen custard. A and I both love the place, it was cheap, easy and quick. Plus we had a movie to get to people, we saw Let's Be Cops.

Let's just say Andrew found it to be more funny than I did, I think the story line wasn't that bad. But I wasn't finding myself laughing my butt off. I am always hesitant to get my expectations up about a comedy movie. I hoped the movie would be funny, but I wasn't expecting it to be as good as say 21 and 22 Jump Street were.

We exchanged gifts, both picked out what we wanted, so the gifts weren't a surprise and we were on a budget.

I got him a KC Royals shirt, some beer, and paid for dinner.  He got me a KC Chiefs shirt, beautiful roses that were delivered to me at work, and bought the movies tickets.

It was a fun date night to celebrate the two years, and was definitely budget friendly, minus my roses. ;)

Some pics from the night....

We took a picture like this on one year. 

Beautiful pinkish red roses that were delivered to my work.

Andrew and I with the flowers. :) We did not plan the blue stripes attire. 

Life Lately Pics

Cinco Powell bag took 6 weeks to arrive, but it finally showed up on my door step in one piece.

This was the free bag I won on Chicago Prepster's blog.

Found this beaut on Andrew's phone from LR and MR's wedding. :)

Went to a childhood friend MF's first part of her bachelorette party. We've known each other since pre school. 

Got these lovely items from vs and bath and body works. Either discounted or FREE. Gotta love coupons.

This was from MF's bridal shower. The shower and bachelorette party happened the same day.

She's getting hitched on 7/19.

LR finally posted all the wedding snap shots on fb. The other bridesmaids and I in front of the lake. This one is one of my favs so I thought I would throw it in there.

And it wasn't made available to me back when I did the wedding post.

Speaking of weddings/bridal showers....I made these cupcakes for a sorority sister's bridal shower this weekend.

Shaped like a wedding dress. 

First time doing that, so I am working on the placement/technique for the cupcakes still.
