First, a look behind the scenes like HBO would do.
I try to stay on the positive with this blog, but let me tell you that this story comes with perspective. The day I will tell you about was lovely and delicious in every way. K and I walked around on Cloud 9 all day long gushing over the awesomeness of our lives.
The next day, I cried before 11 a.m. at the impending reality of my serious lack of time with K and some work stressage.
I prefer to dwell on the happiness and take nothing but a glancing look at the unhappiness in order to learn from my mistakes, but as all of you who know me F2F know....I am a serious worrier that is plagued by pessimism.
I am not, as I appear sometimes in the days post Grad School, some sort of obnoxiously peppy Pippy Longstocking.
However, part of my goal is to consciously combat my nature and realize the extent to which I am fortunate and happy instead. Plus, everyone knows that on the internet, you can be whomever you choose.
Context Given, on to the happenings.
Despite my working weekend I managed to squeeze in a lot of fun.
There are limited pictures of Friday's fun because one of our oh-so-lovely friends--> no likey the pictures. However, the F of L&F acquiesced to let me document his presence in a totally fun evening with them.
It might have been a crazy night of driving in the rain
But we had a lot of fun with these two. Dinner was delicious at Blue Koi. Also, they gave us tootsie pops....K was stoked.
Saturday we woke up to find the first fruits of our labor
Yep, we grew that tomato. Only having one, however, inspired us to go to the farmer's market. So we did.
It was packed but so much fun. Musicians, face-painting, vendors and restaurants, the River City Market is like a little state fair every weekend and we got delicious produce, local Honey, local bison and some Italian Deli. Here is K chowing down on the food from his requested "good smells" place.
The more we get to just wake up and decide to do something spontaneous and it turns out to be awesome the more we love living in the city. Every day here makes me appreciate KC more and be seriously happy not to be in the suburbs.
A little raw looking. But you know what? It is Saturday and we get to wake-up, not shower and sweat at the City Market. Awesome summer day.
Yay!! Even though I heard much of this on the phone, it's much better with visuals. I'm totally taking your side on city living, of course. ;) Love that you got a tomato-- it looks adorable. We have cherry tomatoes coming out our ears, but so far the big ones have been sparse. Still have time left, tho. :)
