ready or not... HERE WE COME!!

After months of dreaming and planning and waiting, tomorrow morning we fly out to Italy!!

For those of you who don't know, Brad is taking a 4-week course in Asolo, a small town about 45 miles northwest of Venice. We'll be in Europe a total of 5 weeks, and every weekend we'll be trekking to a new place (Paris, Florence, Austrian Alps) with a final week-long blitz of the western coast of Italy, starting in Sorrento and heading up to the Cinque Terre and Milan.

We are so so thankful for this once in a lifetime opportunity, and are excited to share it with you all as we go. We may not be able to post pics on here, but we will definitely be blogging our adventures!

Now we're off to bed...

Until next time, ciao!

The Great Flood

... well, not quite THE great flood, but a crazy one anyways.

Two Wednesdays ago it started raining, rained all night, and then stopped Thursday morning. I didn't think anything about it, until I drove to nanny Thursday and one of the main roads was closed. I had to turn around and go a different way, which took me by the gym I also work at. The parking lot was under probably 10 feet of water!! Later that evening Brad and I went back to take pics of it. Thankfully the water never reached the gym, but it did get within a couple feet.

Royals Game

A couple weeks ago we went to a Royal's game with all our KC friends. The game was great (we won!), the weather was perfect, but it wasn't the best experience ever... a couple of the people in our group waited in line for dollar hotdogs the ENTIRE game!!! We got in line right as the game started and didn't get seated until the third inning. We thought that was bad, until they got in line sometime during the first inning and never even made it to their seats! Then the fireworks show was cancelled due to the excessive winds. Oh well, at least we got to see the Meyers, Keiths, and Nunnallys!

The stadium looks awesome!

A great one of the guys:
