Feeling Lost...

...without my camera!

I have lost my camera and I don't know where it is! The bad part is that I can't remember the last time I had it either! Finding my camera is my task for the week. I have many fun activities planned over the next few weeks and I will be needing my camera. My fun activities include Oktoberfest at Soulard, my birthday, Halloween, and visiting Rachel!! So needless to say, I need to find my camera!

I wrote the part above sometime last week. Since then I have remembered where I was when I last had my camera, but have still yet to find my camera. The last time I had it was September 11th, the weekend when Garrett and I ran our last 5K. I know I had it then. I had just got a new jacket that looks like an Army style jacket and I had the camera inside the pocket that I had buttoned closed. So it couldn't have fallen out. Later we got in Garrett's truck and I thought that's when I took it out of my pocket. Garrett and I looked through his truck last weekend and no luck. I checked my car, no luck. Seriously! Where is it?!

I had a dream Sunday night that I found my camera. The only problem is that I can't remember the details of the dream. So I suppose that is the plan for the week. I am going to try and figure out where in the world my camera is!!

Until Next time!!

Lots of Love!!!

Dearest Camera,

Please come back to me. I am lost without you!

Love,

Fabulous Fall Day

Fall. I really think that Fall may be the most wonderful time of the year. Here are my top 10 reasons for loving Fall:

10. Baking funs treats. Now that summer is over, I don't feel bad firing up the oven. And I've got some good ones for this fall. Looking forward to posting about my adventures in baking.

9. You can go apple picking. Garrett and I did that two years ago, and we had so much fun. There is nothing quite like an apple fresh off of a tree.

8. Thanksgiving. Who doesn't love turkey and mashed potatoes? Don't forget the pumpkin pie!

7. Hot apple cider. Delicious! End of story.

6. New fall television line-ups. Grey's Anatomy is back tonight and I could not be more excited!

5. Fabulous colors of fall. Reds, oranges, yellows, and browns.

4. My birthday. Its always a beautiful fall day on my birthday and I love that!

3. Halloween. Time that everyone dresses

2. Football! Football! And more Football!

1. Spending time in the beautiful weather with my wonderful boyfriend, Garrett. Love you baby!

Until next time!

Lots of Love!!

Summer Installment #5...Mary Beth's Wedding

Well, it looks like this will be the final installment in my summer. Its kind of sad. It means this really is the end of summer. Mary Beth and Ted got married August 7th. So this makes this post almost two months late. Wow. I'm way behind. Well the wedding was beautiful. I don't have any pictures from the wedding itself because I was just enjoying it. Here's Garrett, Lindsay, and I before heading over to the wedding.

In between the wedding and the reception, the three of us went to a local bar to kill some time. Killing time included beer and pool.

Then it was on to the reception.

Garrett and I at the reception. I'm not a huge fan of this picture because I really don't like the angle.

My grade school friend, Melissa and her boyfriend. She's about seven+ months pregnant here and now since it has taken me so long to post, she had her baby last night. A little girl and they named her Lillian or Lily for short. Precious!

I like this one of Garrett and I much more. We were having a good time at this point!

Lindsay and I were the first ones on the dance floor and the last ones to leave the dance floor! That's how I roll!

So here is my favorite part of the night. I caught the bouquet! Everyone knows what that means! The only bummer part of this was that Garrett had gone home at this point because he wasn't feeling well at all. So I couldn't even gloat about it! Not fair!

Mary Beth and I after I caught the bouquet. She told me that she was praying that I would catch the bouquet. No worries. I didn't let her down! Just so we're all clear, she did not throw it directly to me (because that would have been easier for me!) she threw it up and I had to fight Lindsay for it! So needless to say, I earned that bouquet!

We made Mary Beth hold the bouquet here since we didn't take any pictures at the wedding. She looked very, very pretty.

This was my celebration dance after catching the bouquet. Since catching that bouquet, I'm very curious to see just how accurate that old saying is. If you catch the bouquet at a wedding, you will be the next one married. I wish there was a timeline type thing so I could see how accurate that legend is. Haha!

This really was the end of the summer for me. Its been fall for me for almost two months now. I can't say that I'm ready to return to the hotness that is summer, but I do miss the free time and the fun in the sun. However, until next May I'm going to enjoy the cooler weather and enjoy the fabulous colors of Fall!

Happy Fall!!

Until next time!!

Lots of Love!!

Summer Installment #4....Family Vacation to Orlando

Kramp Family Vacation 2010 was a fabulous trip to Walt Disney World. We had so much fun!!! For dinner one night we went to one of those places that they cook the food on the grill in front of you, like Kobi's Steakhouse.

Here is our group having a lovely dinner!

One of the days we went to the best place in the whole world, Harry Potter at Islands of Adventure!! It was glorious!!! Here is Cindy and KK before we got into the park

Cindy and I as we got a glimpse of the Harry Potter castle!

The Harry Potter castle in all its glory!!!

I was so unbelievably excited about the trunk with all the Quidditch equipment!!!

Then we tried the Butterbeer. It was a great thing. It tasted something like butterscotch soda. I would do anything for another glass of that tasty stuff!!!

Cindy and I thoroughly enjoyed the Butterbeer!!! Two thumbs way, way up!!

Cute picture of us girls, except KK really isn't sitting up.

A picture for Corinne! Little Italian Micky!!

Family (except Mama) in French hats!!!

We had so much fun! Unfortunately I only have the pictures from my camera. There were many more fun times on the sisters' cameras, but they have all returned to school now! I'm trying to think of what else we did while we were in Orlando. Cindy, Dad, and I did some lovely running while we were there. My mother said "woo-woo!" from the comfort of the hotel balcony. We were not very entertained. We also did some serious shopping at, get this, a Victoria's Secret outlet! Yes, that's right! A Victoria's Secret outlet!! It was spectacular! I also had to pick out what to wear to my friend, Mary Beth's wedding that was quickly approaching, but more on that later!!

Until next time!!

Lots of Love!!!

Summer Installment #3...Mizzou Reunion 2010!

There was a very lovely weekend that I got to spend in my happy place, Columbia, Missouri.

What a glorious place!!! I missed the good old days...

Just to add a few...

One particularly fun evening in the dorms...I'm pretty sure a certain someone yelled at us for playing with all that stuff but it was worth it! Plus that's a great picture!! And we put it all back!!

Nearly legal martinis...well at least for me. Corinne was already there and poor Rach....yeah long ways to go dearest...

Swimming in Brady Fountain/Right of Passage for Mizzou students.

Looking foxy...or wait tiger-y for a football game!

Too much fun was had at this hayride...just ask the craftroom...That Rach and Jeff were not in...lol

A nicely decked out bus and we made friends with the driver! ;)

All smiles before the Nebraska game!

For Mizzou Reunion Weekend 2010 we decided nothing less than the same madness that consumed us two years ago would do...

I had a great time hanging out with Claire and Amanda in CoMo!! We should do it again very soon.

Until next time!

Lots of Love!!
