toto, i think we are in kansas

So, I'm working on the whole catching up thing.. I sifted through the rest of my summer pictures and came to the executive decision that summer was over so no more summer posts. 

I will start from September.

Oh, September. [the curse of September]  I can't, well I just won't, explain the curse of September right now.  September has passed for the year, so therefore, I'm over it.  But just know, there is one, and it's real.

The first weekend in September we had the pleasure of visiting some dear friends in Wichita, KS.  It was tons of fun and can't wait to go again! 




The girls did girl things {antique and thrift shopping} while the boys did boy things [football, video games, wings, and beer].  Not a bad setup, huh..

We first ventured out to the farmer's market.


I always enjoy a good market.  I picked up an aloe vera plant, and we got to enjoy this man's wonderful singing.
Next, we spent hours at antique shops, thrift centers, and a Goodwill.  We found some awesome finds - maybe that will be my next post.. all my good buys.. But anyways... On our way to Goodwill, it began to rain.  My dear friend seemed slightly confused why I was so happy to see rain.  We had not seen rain in so long in Norman that it felt, looked, smelled very refreshing.  I couldn't help but snap several shots of it.




Then, I caught myself watching the raindrops race each other.  You know how you used to do when you were a kid?  It was a strange memory that made me feel like I was 6 years old again.


After scrummaging around at Goodwill and sadly watching a gorgeous white rocker walk out the door as we were arriving, we went home to our husbands and watched a little football with them.  The next morning, we went to this amazing restaurant for brunch before saying goodbye to our friends.


We had a wonderful weekend and were sad to leave, but we had to get back to our little furry baby and get ready for the next week.  When we returned to Norman, we too went and had a little lunch date.  We knew we wanted good beer and a patio.  The Library? Of course.


It was the perfect end to the perfect weekend.
