I think it’s pretty safe to say we’re obsessed with our home state of Kentucky. Our apartment is filled with Kentucky prints and photos (largely thanks to the spectacular branding from Kentucky for Kentucky). And as the only Kentuckians in our group of friends in Oregon, we felt it was our personal responsibility to throw…
new year’s eve eve at the cabin.
Each New Year’s Eve Eve, a group of our friends gathers at a cabin in the woods to reconnect, share stories, and reflect on the past year. I was afraid that we were going to miss the celebration this year because we moved so far away, but thanks to my sister getting married at the…
the perfect dinner party.
While staying with our incredible host family, we have had the opportunity to meet a lot of really fun and interesting people. We met a majority of these people at a dinner party on Friday night. It was, by far, the most impressive dinner party I have ever had the pleasure of attending. From this…
going away. way away.
The journey to Oregon begins tomorrow (or today, by the time you’re reading this). Crazy. Absolutely crazy. Our absolutely wonderful small group threw us a going away party last Sunday. They may be some of the best party throwers around. It was Oregon themed, with blue and yellow decorations (apparently Oregon’s state flag is blue…
an olympic party.
It’s Olympic season! I must say that Olympic season is the greatest season of all (well, second to Christmas, I suppose). It’s a season to celebrate the triumph of the human body. It’s a season for the whole world to come together to enjoy competition. It’s a season to cry at inspirational Olympic commercials. And,…
happy 4th of july.
Happy 4th of July, from our kitchen to yours! -Ally
a weekend of celebration.
Oh, hey there, blog. I’m afraid I’ve neglected you lately. I’ll blame our busy work schedules and the fact that we are trying to soak up as much time with our pals as possible this spring. It has been glorious, if not exhausting. I guess that when life is happening, the blog isn’t. Anywho, here’s…
it’s a good day to be a wildcat.
What’s better than community and basketball? Community, basketball, and a national championship title. Go Big Blue! -Ally
a birthday celebration.
Yesterday was Eric’s 24th birthday. We have entered the 3-week period where our ages are 2 years apart. He’s an old man at 24, while I’m still youthful at 22. Like I said, this won’t last long, but it makes me feel good about myself. If you know anything about us from reading this little…
thoughts on the new year.
So, I realize that everyone else blogged their ‘New Year’ post a few weeks ago, but January 10th is a better time to reflect on the arrival of 2012 than say, January 11th, right? Right. To celebrate the new year, we have an annual New Year’s Eve Eve party, where friends from home gather at…
a very harry potter weekend.
When it comes to Harry Potter, we have this little tradition with two of our best friends at home. Each time a new movie comes out, we have a Harry Potter movie marathon, where we watch all of the previously released movies in a row before going to see the newest one. Obviously, this has…
a very kentucky weekend.
What a weekend! The Kentucky Derby, UK graduation, and Mother’s Day. Wow. We’ll begin with Saturday. Eric and I always try to sleep in on Saturdays. This usually results in us waking up at 7. Woo. So we headed to Magee’s, bright and early, where we ordered the usual from the usual woman, who, as…
life in oldham county.
I’m so behind on blogging. My apologies. Let’s jump back two weekends. Eric and I headed home to celebrate my birthday with our families. My family has been spread across the country a bit, so this was the first time we’d all been in the same house in months. It was pretty exciting. Anywho, back…
