Party! Party! Party! Oh...and KU won!!

Saturday morning...during the blizzard...we decided to go ahead and make the trip to Kirksville. I called my mother Saturday morning and she said they hadn't gotten anything in Kirksville...it was cold but the weather was not bad. So, of course, I decided if we could make it past around Chillicothe we would be in the clear. It took us 2 hours and 15 mins just to get to Cameron. (mind you....it normally only takes about 1 hour to get to Cameron) It would be pointless to turn around at this point, so we kept on going. Around Chillicothe the snow trailed off and then like magic...the roads were perfect! I could not believe the difference. From Chillicothe we made normal time but the bad weather from Kansas City to Cameron made a 3 hour trip...4 hours and 15 minutes.

Saturday night we had a "Reunion of Old Friends" at my parents house. The Sharps, Fortneys, Fosters, and Peerys were all in attendence. All of the kids were there too except for Ryan (who lives in Florida). Most of the "kids" now have kids themselves and most of them were present as well. We missed Ashlee. In total, there were 30 people in attendance. (believe me....this was nothing compared to the 60 people at Thanksgiving!!) My parents are pros at throwing get togethers at their house. They are extremely great hosts and normally the only ones who have enough room to accomodate a large crowd.

They are addicted to remodeling and adding onto their house. Just this weekend, Kevin and I heard their next greatest plans for remodeling in the living room. I have to admit that I am really impressed with all of the updates they have made to their house. It is really different from when I lived there.

The MU vs. KU game was on Sunday and Kevin was alone in his support for KU. Since everyone we were in contact with were MU fans there was quite a bit of trash talkin' from both sides throughout the entire weekend. Thank goodness the lone KU fan had a victory from his team and was able to return to Kansas City unscathed.

I will get some pictures from the "Reunion of Old Friends" posted within the next couple of days so stay tuned....
