Yesterday was one of those days where plans pop up out of the blue and you just have to go with it. If you had asked me yesterday morning how I’d be spending my evening I’d have said eating dinner with girlfriends after work. Instead I spent it at the new Nebraska Crossing Outlets (Nex… [Read More]
A week with my in-laws
I didn’t expect to take a week long hiatus from blogging but I’m very glad I did. Josh’s parents came to visit the Friday before last and left yesterday. It was so great getting to see them. We’ve missed them a lot. We traveled all over Omaha to show them our favorite places and discovered… [Read More]
Fall Family Photo Shoot (Giveaway!)
This weekend has been an amazing one. Between a Halloween party, a 5k race, a blogger meetup, and a photo shoot it was also a busy one. I know I owe you guys more wedding recaps, and those will come at the end of this week. But since I’ve been talking about photos so much… [Read More]
Odds and Ends (and a Whole Foods sale!)
So much has been going on lately, I thought it would be fun to do a little catch-up of some things I’ve been meaning to share with you guys. We’re getting serious about decorating! I’m so excited with how our apartment is coming together! I need to get flowers to fill the mason jars with… [Read More]
Junkstock Shopping
Omaha has so many amazing traditions. This weekend Josh and I discovered my favorite one so far. It’s called Junkstock and the theme is peace love and junk. It’s one giant garage sale. If every garage sale was put on by professional store vendors that sell old stuff you actually want to decorate your house… [Read More]
Omaha’s Big Bad Voodoo Daddy Performance
It’s Friday! How the heck did that happen? Josh and I went to see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy last night at the Holland Performing Arts Center. Before the show Josh and I met up with Hannah at Blatt. We’ve wanted to go here for the longest time. We got happy hour drinks and mini pretzel… [Read More]
Introducing my Dad to Omaha
I feel like I blinked and this weekend was over. It was such a wonderful weekend that flew by way too quickly. It started out the way weekends usually do : I picked up groceries. I got gas. And did a little happy dance when I saw how cheap it was. When I interned for… [Read More]
Enjoying Fall Days
I love the fall season. The colors, the flavors, and the crispness in the air. We’ve been having some perfect weather lately and have been trying to make the most of it. Our days have been full in the best possible way. Like at the Art Sar Ben festival in Aksarben this past weekend. We… [Read More]
Running the Rundee Dundee 5k
Hello from Davenport! I’m traveling for work and am blogging from the hotel room before I start my day. I hope you guys had a wonderful weekend. Mine was amazing. On Saturday we woke up early and saw it was raining and windy and just plain miserable out. We were supposed to be running the… [Read More]
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is Coming to Omaha
When Josh first started looking at job postings and saw there was a position hiring in Omaha we both kind of laughed. We thought it was the land of corn and steak and not much else. Obviously if you’ve been reading my blog since we moved here you know that could not be farther from… [Read More]
Our First Husker Game
I love my job. My coworkers are so nice, and it seems like all of them are hardcore Nebraska Huskers fans. That energy has been contagious! When my boss asked me if I’d like his tickets to a Husker game I was so excited. Nebraska lives and breathes Husker football, so for Josh and I… [Read More]
