The March Madness Begins

Well ladies and gentlemen, it is March and as we all know spring is just around the corner.  I want so desperately to soak up the sun and feel the warm breezes it will bring but alas, we have not reached that point quite yet.  Spring brings more activities, busier schedules and a fuller "to do" list and the Thorpe household is already experiencing these things!  Jay is still buried in his books, diligently studying for Board Exams this summer while I have been here and there doing everything in between.  We are always thankful for the times we can relax and hang out together just us or with good friends from all over the city.  Friday night we met up with Jenny and Asante for dinner at Chipotle.  We had a BOGO coupon and were excited to have dinner discounted- a treat for sure!

Saturday morning I had a women's event at the church called Wrapped in Warmth- an event benefiting the women of Veronica's Voice here in KC.  We made no-sew fleece blankets and had a great time of fellowship and craftiness.  We ended up making, I think, 17 blankets in all.  There were so many cute patterns and they turned out great!  Way to go ladies.  :)

Sweet friends.

Too cute!

Workin' hard.

Great turn-out!

The rest of the day I cleaned the house and did laundry.  BORING!  But Saturday night we met Tim and Anna on the Plaza for a movie - The Adjustment Bureau - which was pretty good.  Then we headed over to Brio for some appetizers and dessert!  They are such a fun couple and we had a great time hanging out.  

Sunday night begins our week with Community Group at the Sterks.  Jay still has one more week off from classes (with some mandatory activities here and there) and it's back to a full week of work after two short ones for me!
