Well, it's been a solid two and a half months since I've posted but it is with good reason! Things around the Veeser - Kansas City camp have been more than a little busy. Besides being on near constant travel for work, we've managed to squeeze trips just about every weekend...oh, and I got a new job!!!
So, here's what we've been up to:
In April, Lance and I set out on a much needed vacation, together (which is a very big deal, since we live in totally different schedules). We started off in Albuquerque for a few days. It's a beautiful area, and we had the chance to hike through Petroglyph National Monument, hit up a minor league baseball game (the Isotopes!) and even squeeze in a historic ghost tour around Old Town (very fun, entertaining and actually educational)! After 4 days, we decided to head north to Santa Fe and did a quick tour of the city, visiting some of the oldest churches in the country. Beautiful! Not ones to slow down, we kept going north, through Taos and finally landed in Colorado Springs. I hadn't really thought of it, but Lance has never been to the Springs in the 5 years we've been together. Well, I had to give him the full experience: we drove up Pike's Peak, visited the Air Force Academy, went to the Cliff Dwellings, had lunch in Manitou Springs and wrapped it up with a trip to Cave of the Winds. While it was a busy trip, it was a lot of fun to not really have a "schedule". 
Once we were back to the real world, I set out on a ton of work trips, but we kept it interesting by making sure we packed just about every weekend with a trip as well! 
In May, I had the chance to travel to Phoenix to watch my little sister play in her 3rd national title lacrosse game of her college career...AND her 3rd win in 4 years!!! It was an amazing weekend with the family. The very next weekend, Lance and I hopped in the car and hit the road for Denver for Dani's college graduation from Colorado State and my mom an Brian's wedding. We got some added joy because Dani and Patrick decided to get hitched as well. They were already engaged but decided to tie the knot before he deployed back to Iraq. He will be home in December. We are planning at "formal" wedding/celebration for next June! He is a FANTASTIC guy, we couldn't ask for a better husband for Dani.Anyway, as soon as we got back from Denver, I once again hit the road for work, this time back to my old stomping ground of Wichita (and Dodge City, Greensburg, Pratt, Hutchinson, Anthony, Wellington, El Dorado and Howard).
During that trip, I got the phone call that I've been waiting for: The KU School of Journalism wanted to interview me for their head PR/Communications position. One we later I interviewed. 2 days after the interview, the job was mine! I start July 6th and couldn't be any happier. After my decision to transition out of the news business so I could start a "normal" life before we have a family, this is the job I'd been looking for. :)
But back to the fun. Over Memorial Day weekend, we headed to the Outer Banks of North Carolina for Chris Meadows' wedding (Lance's college friend and fellow Marshall University former baseball player). This such a fun trip to a place neither Lance or I had ever been to. We toured the "Lost Colony of Roanoke", the Wright Brothers first flight location and just generally had a fantastic time.
We're not done quite yet...I have one more big work trip with my current company, our 2 year anniversary is just a week away and we've got one more trip planned at the end of June. We are looking forward to an entire week in the U.P. with Lance's family. I am excited about this trip because since we've been together, I've only been able to get a couple of days at a time up in the U.P. because of my crazy work schedule. This time, I decided I was going to take a full week off between jobs and really just relax.
So, that's our updates...for now. I'm excited to see what new opportunities, experiences and projects the coming months bring us!
P.S. I have several pictures, which I'll include later. For whatever reason, our internet is not agreeing with me putting them up today. :)
