Next weekend Brian and I will be sleeping in our posh hotel suite (yes, we’re supposed to get a separate living area with a sleeper couch and everything — how exciting is that) at the Raphael Hotel<\/font><\/a> on Country Club Plaza<\/font><\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve planned all the details and everything!<\/p>\n

Saturday will be spent doing some shopping.\u00c2\u00a0 You better believe I’m hitting Bebe, AX, BCBG, Betsey Johnson, J.Crew and all the other stores (even just to window shop, I don’t care, we don’t have them here so it’s fun to actually try on the stuff as opposed to my normal MO which is to just shop via the internet).\u00c2\u00a0 I haven’t decided where we are going to lunch yet because there are so many yummy restaurants to choose from.\u00c2\u00a0 I know that we will be at the Mermaid Courtyard (by Eddie Bauer) in the afternoon, though, because they are supposed to have some live entertainment there.\u00c2\u00a0 I believe the band will be playing some swing music.\u00c2\u00a0 Then it is back to the hotel for some R&R (and maybe a little somethin’ somethin’) and to get cleaned up before we hit Mi Cocina or reVerse (maybe both depending on how much energy we have left).<\/p>\n

I’m thinking we will be spending Sunday at Union Sation.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe have brunch at Union Caf\u00c3\u00a9 and then browse the Crown Center shops if Brian doesn’t protest.\u00c2\u00a0 I figure we have to be there somewhat early anyway to get a good spot for the Celebration at the Station<\/font><\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 The Kansas City Symphony will play an hour and half concert followed by a fireworks display.\u00c2\u00a0 I think it will be similar to the symphony and fireworks conclusion of the Wichita River Festival<\/font><\/a> only much cooler.\u00c2\u00a0 At least, I hope so anyway.<\/p>\n

Brian took Memorial Day off and at my work it is schedule on volunteer basis.\u00c2\u00a0 I purposely didn’t volunteer for it so we don’t have to rush back to Wichita.\u00c2\u00a0 Hopefully it will be a relaxing drive or at least I’m hoping that the Memorial weekend traffic would have subsided by late afternoon.<\/p>\n

Anyway, Brian and I are both very excited.\u00c2\u00a0 He tells me he is excited, anyway..\u00c2\u00a0 But if he doesn’t say anything, you can’t really tell that he is.\u00c2\u00a0 He’s not quite as expressive as I am.<\/p>\n

We have a lot to celebrate this month.\u00c2\u00a0 After all, I just had my naturalization ceremony on Friday (yes, I am official now) and I had straight As this spring semester.\u00c2\u00a0 Very cool, celebration-worthy stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
