Now the room is c-l-o-s-e-r to halfway there.....

     What a nice SSS-LLL-OOO-WWW Sunday after a hectic Friday and Saturday. Abby and I both worked all day on Friday then left town at 5:00 PM to attend the Hospitality Management Department Travel and Dining Auction in Manhattan, Kansas. We arrived shortly before 8:00 - just in time for me to win a couple items and to enjoy seeing so many people I miss.

     I had a great evening and got to speak with so many great friends at the auction! Abby hung out with her best friend. We then went to Willys Bar and enjoyed beverages and the best burger I've had in a while!
     Driving home Saturday was an ordeal! Some seriously foul weather was expected in central Kansas so we took off after enjoying breakfast with my major professor and lunch with Abby's friends! It was SSS-OOO windy that it was difficult staying in our lane on I-70. The wind finally died down around Kansas City and we had a pleasurable trip home. My mom was happy. She pleaded with us to get the heck out of Kansas before the poop hit the fan!
     We took to the basement today and cleaned that up! The dehumidifier we bought last week has done a wonderful job and the basement finally feels like it did prior to the waterworks of Thanksgiving!

     We pulled a bunch of furniture out of the room, setting up the bed in our newly cleaned basement. We have a mostly blank slate in the nursery - of course we already have some Kansas State University gear in the room - like the pillow in the picture above that we picked up in Manhattan on Friday night.

     That's pretty much all for now. We'll get new pictures of the "refreshed" basement and the more firmly finished nursery.
