Wichita Trip to Visit Boyfriend Boss



I recently returned from a trip to Wichita KS to visit my lovely boyfriend, his last name is Boss so it is not a cute pet name I have given him. *PSA: I am 110% the boss in our relationship. 

He took me to Kansas City where we had a surprise visit to the Kansas City Zoo! 
Zookeepers do enjoy going to other zoos more than most. It is so fun to get excited about another facilities programs and exhibits.

The next day we ate dinner with some of his friends from college, mind you there is an age difference. 7 years in between us doesn't ever feel like 7 years but when I am 22 and we are around a table of between 27-31 year olds there are some differences. Nothing bad... its just a little more obvious that I am the baby. 

*Sidebar Boyfriend and I met while both working at a Nature Center in Kansas. He actually had no idea how old I was when he asked me out. Casual hair flip, because I am so mature. 


The next day we went to Shlitterban! I would recommend to ANYONE to go to a waterpark on a rainy day, for us it was totally unintentional, but we were one of like six families. 
  • No lines. At all, we just kept running up and sliding back down. 
  • No crowds anywhere.
  • Did I mention that there were no lines? 

When we got back to Wichita he had to go back to work so I got to hang out and do homework at home YAY. 

Boyfriend's brother and new wife live in Wichita as well so we were able to do a lot with them. 
We found a groupon for GlowGolf which is just black light putt-putt. Worth it? Totally. We had so much fun for $18 total. 




We also went to hit some golfballs which is something that I am slowly getting better at. I pride myself on being athletic BUT golf is not in my arena. Yet. 



Tomorrow I will share more pictures from the rest of the trip! 
Stay tuned for pictures of me and my parents exploring the area around our new house.

    It looks like y'all had so much fun! There is a 6 year age difference between my husband and I (I'm 22, he's 28) so don't worry about that...once you get to be our age, it's literally just a number. His best friends and their wives have literally become my best friends and I love it :) I look forward to keeping up with your blog & thanks for dropping by mine!

    xoxo, SS

Clark is our pretty Green Winged Macaw, and Hannah is that large black animal which is a Bintourong.  Click here to learn more about what a Binturong is!

Relationships are not one size fits all.

After speaking with one of my best-friend-soul-sister-pre-puberty-friends this last week about relationships I feel that I have something important to say... LADIES PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS GOOD (wine, cheese, puppies)  PLEASE LISTEN TO ME WHEN I SAY... Make sure you are dating one of your best friends by that I mean that our relationships with our significant others should reflect the relationship with have with our best friends.  Now let me explain myself.  I am not a relationship expert, I just have had some experience in the trial and error department.  I love my boyfriend, I do not like him all the time.  I love my best friends, I do not like them all the time.  Now. That being said I strongly believe that too many young women are looking for that hopeless romantic that we see in the movies. But LADIES PLEASE, relationships are not like sisterhood of the traveling pants. What looks good on one girl is NOT...

Signs of Spring

Signs of Spring Hike  This last week I was tasked to create a "signs of spring hike" at my new job at the Otter Point Creek Estuary Center in Abingdon, MD. This was my first program at this facility. Now understand that programming is old hat to me, but it is still nerve wracking when you have not done the program before AND I just got off crutches last week. So of course it makes sense to send me on a hike through the wet woods with ages 6 to adult.  14 people signed up... 31 people showed up.  Not only did that happen but it was raining.  I had two children pick up dog poop and bring it to me asking what animal it came from. I had two dads who felt compelled to make crude comments about genitals .  I am not the girl to go head to head against in a game of penis chicken. I threw down my reproductive knowledge for a wide variety of species. I have never seen two grown men turn so red. Serves them right.. don't call it a d*c...
