Realization, New Plans, Kansas Winter

i recently added Beth to my list of blogs and something that had struck me mildly before has really hit home as i stumbled on photos of her and Elaina, and of Robin and baby Erin.

A lot of my friends, and i mean a LOT of my friends have girls. Seriously, have y’all looked around? You all have daughters. Alli has Mac now, but other than him, it’s a bunch of girls! Andrea has two, Lauren, Rhett, and Beth each have one. i had one. Isn’t Jenny’s baby a girl? Didn’t Cheryl and G even announce that their baby will be a girl? i can’t possibly be the first to make this observation… can i?

i will post a set of before and after photos in a couple of months, when the difference is more dramatic. Another five pounds gone since i last posted!

There may be some new plans on the horizon. i can’t say anything publicly, but i’ll give you a peek under my cards: Idaho.

And since i promised you pictures, but Kansas isn’t the most photogenic state in winter, here are the best photographs i could muster of the Kansas winter…





Last weekend i went up to Topeka with a friend, to a party thrown by some of his friends. Some mutual buddies were there. We stayed at the party way too late, and by 3am were staring the drive back to Wichita down like two condemned people. So instead we went about halfway and stayed in this beautiful old farmhouse with our other buddies. Since i didn’t see it in the dark, i had no idea where i was. When we woke up we found ourselves in a ghost town! Burdick, Kansas. How do you like that? Here’s Burdick…

great pics - you liking your new camera? i am totally jealous of it!

yes - we all do have girls... and biologically - it had nothing to do with US - but our husbands... which is weirder that we all have husbands who are really good at having girls. :) anyway - it's weird i agree.

can't wait to hear more about your plans.

glad you're well. i miss you!

Love the pic of the setting sun/city skyline.

Yeah, I did think about everyone having girls...you can add Becky and Dave to that list as well, Dan and Meredith Snider....Hollie and Kevin have 2...the only boys I can think of are Melissa's, Kerri and Mark's 2, and Landon's.

Can't wait for progress pics! I'm having a hard time with motivation these days, hoovering around 20lbs over goal. Send some of those good vibes my way!

I think Andrea and I talked about this when SB was born...

We do all have girls... very few boys.
Jerome has a girl and a boy.
Jenny has a girl...
Danny & Sara have a girl and a boy.
Josh Wyatt has a girl and a boy.
Stephanie Jones has a boy.
Matt Zielke has 2 girls though...

Mostly girls, but a few boys in there.
