Long awaited update…..

January 10th, 2010

   OK, so we haven’t exactly lived up to our end of the bargain with this website…and we apologize for that.  So this is what has happened, in a nutshell, since you’ve heard from us last.  The biggest change since last April is our decision to leave Kansas and move to sunny Key West, Florida!  We packed up our stuff and headed south at the end of October, with the goal of reaching Key West before the big Fantasy Fest parade on Halloween.  Let me tell you, they don’t have parades like that in Kansas :).  If beads, nudity, public drunkenness, and jello shots sold on the side walk are not for you…I recommend staying at home, but it was definitely an experience we wanted to take in as our first event as residents of this colorful town. 

   So far, we really like living here.  Zack is getting plenty of work doing freelance websites and Kim is a PRN radiologic technologist at the local hospital, Lower Keys Medical Center.  We will make sure to post some new pictures of our Florida adventures soon!  Unfortunately our dog, Kinzie, got really sick and died unexpectedly last week.  She was very loved and will be missed even more! 

  Wedding plans are coming along, make sure you check this website often for updates!  I have posted information on hotel rooms, if you have any questions feel free to contact us.  We are in the process of figuring out a time and place for the wedding shower, but we posted the information for our registry and we will be sure to keep this up to date.  I will be in the Kansas City area from March 13-22, so that’s when the festivites should take place…be sure to mark your calandars!  We are still in the process of making wedding invitations, we will make sure to get those out soon!  :)

I think that’s enough updating for now, more posts to come!   Thanks to all and talk to you soon!

Kim and Zack

FARM RAISED Shrimp from Aquastar Seafoods

FARM RAISED Shrimp from Aquastar Seafoods

Okay…so I know that this is not necessarily my style BUT, I swear that the shrimp used were farm raised. I verified this as best as I could by visiting the Aquastar website and researching their company. I found that they are actually doing several things to promote environmental preservation and the recipe was WELL worth the personal sacrifice!

Mmmmmm.....wine....chicken, what more do you need?

Hey guys, first REAL post…YEAH! Tonight, Kim made a chicken recipe that was awesome, no really…..it was! It came from her Paula Deen recipe book that was given to her as a gift from her good friends, Cassie and Erin. I will try and do one of these a week and we will also be trying to account for an activity, weather permitting, once a week as well. Follow the link below for the recipe and a pic that I took of the dish, mmmmmm.

Great Things To Come…

April 10th, 2009

Howdy Ya’lls! Zack here, I am going to do my darndest to keep this blog updated.  I think the simple fact that Kim will be able to track, semi-real time, what is going on with our lives will help.  Afterall, we all know that I could’nt do it alone…that is one of  the reasons I have to marry her!  You can all look forward to seeing some recent pics of us, keeping up to date on our activities, learning about the event participants, etc.  My goal with this is to have everyone TOTALLY educated in every aspect of our accumulative lives before it even happens. Not to mention, I hate Facebook and Myspace, I’m a Webmaster….I want to make my OWN social networking tools!  Of course, this will be a collective source links to all of those as well.  I look forward to hearing from you all and spreading the joy that Kim and I are currenly keeping to ourselves, enjoy!
