This past weekend John and I took a trip to visit Adam and Marena in Kansas City. We flew in Friday evening and started off the trip by going to see their new place. They live in a very cute part of Kansas that is very green and hilly. Their new house is just perfect for them. They have plenty of room for everything; they even each have their own offices (jealous!). They have a great backyard with a deck and a tree house! Despite having only lived there for about 3 months they have everything painted, decorated, and functional. It looks beautiful. I am very happy for them and you can easily tell how happy they are too!
Then I got meet the new loves of my life, their puppies Stella and Jasper. They are adorable, and I wanted to steal them. Well actually I just wanted to steal Stella, we had a special connection.
After seeing the house and meeting the puppies we went out for dinner, to a great place with a nice outdoor deck. We enjoyed some good food, good beer, good weather, and caught up. Saturday we just kinda hung around, which I know Adam and Marena felt bad about but honestly it was just nice to get to relax with our friends. Marena made us a fabulous breakfast-I know I was amazed too. Apparently Adam doesn’t let her out of the kitchen so she’d gotten pretty good at cooking. Then Saturday night they had a fiesta with some friends. It was great, we got to see Curtis and Erica, and also meet some new friends. Marena and Adam put out quite a spread of Mexican food, and we all ate a ton. We also had some fun with a piñata, which was a first for me.
Sadly the next morning we had to leave. But it was a great trip and we can’t wait to go back. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy!

We had an absolute blast ...I'm still recovering!
However, I am shocked that you left a few things out of your blog, such as when you gave me my birthday card and wished me a great 27th year (I'm 29) or when you said, "Hey, Big Sexy" to a guy as he walked out of our bathroom (you claim that you thought it was Adam, but I'm a bit skeptical about that story), even when you and John both stepped in a puppy bomb as you went for the pinata (I was impressed that you both kept going at the pinata although you kept commenting that you smelled it). Thanks for coming to visit. We can't wait until the next time we are together!
By the way, Jasper is hurt that you didn't feel that "connection" with him.
Hi Christy,
Sounds like you had a wonderful visit! The pictures are great and the puppies are so cute! Just thought I'd warn you in the future, some words to avoid so you don't give your old Mom a heart attack,"Baby" and "expecting" would be better saved for the real deal :-) Ha, Ha, Lots of love, Mom and Dad
