A Weekend in Vermont


We went to Vermont over the holiday weekend for a fabulous wedding. Congrats to Brent & Bridget!


Unfortunately, we didn't take too many pictures, because we were too busy enjoying the amazing scenery and incredible food.



Jeremy did some golfing, I got a pedicure, we hung out with family and ate WAY too much. The food was insane- duck cassoulet was the highlight, though there was fabulous lamb, scallops and ridiculous steaks. The dessert buffet was also equally spectacular. I apologize for the lack of pictures, but we were too busy stuffing our faces!



I also managed to bring home a few souvenirs. Oops. In my defense, I have been looking for the perfect pair of sporty type shoes for about 2 years. And I found them!

And of course, what's a trip without souvenir yarn?? I blame Jane for her yarn-buying enabling!

These Shoes Were Made For Walking

I have a lot of shoes that I've had for quite awhile, since I began working at Cabela's five years ago. Because of that, I don't really allow myself to buy any new shoes and certainly don't allow myself the money to spend on shoes that are actually cool. So, at Christmas, when my brother Brent gave me a gift card for customizable shoes from Converse, I was pretty pumped.

Naturally, I went for their equivalent colors to KU's crimson and blue, and I think they turned out pretty well. I was a little nervous about the sizing of the shoes, but they fit perfectly.




Adding the "Esquire" on the side of the shoe was probably my favorite part of the whole process. They wouldn't allow me to put "Jayhawks" on the side, likely because of licensing issues, but "Esquire" was a great alternative. Thanks, Brent!
