It's KU, not K-State

Monday, October 21, 2013

Friday night Chris and I headed to the Michael Buble concert. Holy amazing. 

I put my fancy shoes on for the "Bub (pronounced boob)".


My hot date. Thank goodness this boy is mine. 


The next morning (Saturday) we were off to Kansas City! This was Chris's "watching airplanes" look. 


Not long after we landed in the land of Oz we headed to Lawrence, KS...the location of KU...not K-State. I may have made that mistake a couple times by calling KU, K-State. Whatevs. 

Chris's sister's boyfriend went to KU, so he took us to a local burger place and of course the Tuckers had to start off with milkshakes. Lawrence was my favorite place of the weekend! Such a cute little town. Chris was saying "Rock Chalk!" allll weekendddd long. 


I love this boy so very much....


...even when he takes really awful pictures of me like the one below.


Me, Dana, and Chris's sister, Lauren at the KU vs. OU football game. Lauren and Dana went to OU, so we had a rivalry between the group. Chris converted from an OU fan to a KU fan just because of KU's tradition of "wave the wheat..." Google it.



Sunday we had the pleasure of attending a Chiefs game. I say 'pleasure' loosely. No offence to Chiefs fans, but y'all are insane. Literally. I think I am good for the rest of my life on attending Chiefs games.


At one point that gentleman behind Chris (below), and another guy, were about to fight. They were yelling, cussing, and acting completely classy (not). Luckily two men calmed them down and somehow managed to get both drunk idiots out of each other's faces. 

Not five minutes later, a guy, three rows up from us, blacked out and face planted into the kid in the blue shirt. The kid in the blue shirt then clocked me and another lady in the head when he fell on us. The poor kid's leg got wedged in between two seats when he fell and he instantly started bawling. The drunk guy got up (barley) and acted as though he didn't just black out from being completely wasted. It was a real crap show if you ask me. 

After those two incidents I told Chris it was time to go. I don't do fighting and I definitely don't do drunk idiots and that seemed to be a theme there.



Sunday night we headed to "The Plaza" in KC where we chowed down on Cheesecake Factory. I had the banana cheesecake....usually I can't eat a whole piece, but good lawddd that was delicious! Chris got one bite and I am not sure who ate the rest...

I am so happy I got to visit my SIL and see where she lives! We miss her so much! Although parts of Kansas were nice, I think I am fine right here in Texas! 

I got back last night, while Chris stayed behind to work up there this week. My welcome home present was me getting locked out of my house and our internet not working. If that doesn't scream welcome back, I don't know what does!

Happy Tuesday!

High Five For Friday!

Friday, October 18, 2013


1. Tonight Chris and I go see Michael Buble. We danced to so many of his songs at our wedding, including our first dance, and so he has a special place in our hearts.

2. Tomorrow morning we are off toooo.....Kansas City! I told you it wasn't any place tropical. We are flying up there to visit Chris's sister, take in a KU football game AND a Chiefs game. Basically my weekend getaway turned into a weekend of football, which is okay in my book. Chris has to go up there for work next week, so it was nice that I was able to tag along!

3. My students are selling chocolates for a fundraiser. I bought three and managed to dominate one of them within five minutes of purchase. I really need to work on my self-control.

4. I am just now realizing how nice it is to live 45 minutes from your best friend in the world. We have been besties since 3rd grade (when I made fun of her for being a giant) and went to two different collages (she is an Aggie...) yet we have still managed to be best friends after all these years. When she accepted a job in Dallas in June I was so excited that, after all the years, and neither of us moving back to our hometown, we still get to be close to each other. And I just want to thank her for putting Chris and I up for the night tonight. She da best.

5. I just want to high five me for getting all my lesson plans squared away for next week. I am finally getting the hang of this teaching thing!

Happy Friday!

Linking up with Lauren!

Half Day

Wednesday, October 16, 2013

Thank God for half days. Days when school gets out at noon are like days when you find a $5 bill in your pocket. Perfection.

This week we are having parent/teacher conferences, so although I don't get to go home and bask in the gloriousness of nothing, I still get to ponder, for a bit, what life would be like without 20 little mouths yelling, "Mrs.! Mrs. Tucker! Mrs.!"

Everyday this week I have been at school until at least 6:30pm because of the conferences, so you can bet I am ready for a weekend getaway! Did I mention we are also going to see Michael Buble on Friday night? Yeauhhh...now you know why I can't wait for the freakin' weekend. We are dropping the (fur)kids off with Chris's parents tonight, so we can party like we are rock stars. Rock stars. 

Off to school to manage my munchkins! Have a great Thursday!
