If there was a contest...

for Best Husband in the WORLD, I'm pretty sure my husband would win and here's why:


Every morning Greg wakes up, works out, makes himself breakfast, packs his lunch, showers and gets ready all before I even think about getting out of bed. Well, last night he mentioned that he was going to get a free lunch today so I jokingly asked if he would make me lunch instead. So I woke up this morning, went to grab a yogurt out of the fridge and there was my lunch in a brown paper bag (because I forgot to bring my lunch bag home yesterday) with a little note in it. My day went from a dreary, rainy day to wonderful.

i love you honey!

Big 12 Championship Game

In the quest to fill you in on our lives, we are on to March...

My husband has two major loves in life: college basketball and Baylor. (Well, more than that if you include me and God and working out and mint chocolate chip ice cream, but keep with me here.) So, you can imagine the excitement in our house when Baylor actually started winning during the Big 12 Tournament this year. We first beat a couple of teams and it was like "yay, that's neat", but then we beat Texas (which hasn't happened in years) and we were in the Championship Game! Now, we went to every game this season (which is way more than I ever went to when I actually attended Baylor as a student) so we thought, why not go to one more? Keane and Laura were watching that game with us and we were all so excited that we bought tickets online moments after the game. Oh, I forgot to mention that meant a six hour drive to Oklahoma City the next day...

But that's ok, the in-laws wanted to go too, so Glenn got us an SUV and we took a little family road trip with all four Gilmores plus two! Here's a little shot of me and Laura doing a sic 'em with the bear paws!

We tried to get the BU in the shot and whoever took the photo was brilliant since they got the CU in there as well :) Apparently I didn't take any photos after the game since we lost and we were a little bummed....

New York!


FINALLY - a couple of the photos from my trip to New York with Lauren in January. (six months later isn't bad...right?) We stayed with our friend Jordan from college and absolutely loved it! I had told my brother and sister I would show them months ago, so here you go! (check out the hat, scarf and jacket - thanks sister for picking out my Christmas gift from Mom and Dad. I love them!)

I don't know if it was my love for big cities, advertising or Target, but I absolutely loved Times Square...
I loved seeing so many different people and the snowy, overcast day helped too...


I always like to go to museums and buy my sister a book. I don't actually go through the museum, I just buy the book.

I've always loved (ha, love) this statue so we posed in front of it as it snowed on us...bliss...

Snow + a giant candy store = perfection

Trying to be artistic during our walk through Central Park.


The snow is just so peaceful.

And I had to get a picture of the bears. Sic 'em.
