October 13, 2010 - A day to remember...for so many reasons.

Yesterday was one of those days. It was just perfect. I woke up to a phone call from my mom around 6:40AM saying my little sister Rose had had her baby. This put me in a really good mood.

I went to work and our staff had a "tailgate party" in the lounge to celebrate the Sunflower Showdown. The lounge was decorated with K-State and KU decor and we had TONS of food, including the purple popcorn I brought. From the time I got to school to the time the kids came in they played both team's fight songs on the intercom. It was just nice friendly rivalry. So fun!

I ended up taking a half day because James had scheduled our hot air balloon ride. So we roadtripped to Parsons, KS and were fortunate to finally get to go up in our balloon! Words can't express how amazing our flight was. The scenery was beautiful and despite James' fear of heights, we both REALLY enjoyed it.

On our way home from Parsons, we listen to the KU/K-State on the radio. I'll be honest, I couldn't stop laughing. Everytime we scored, I just thought..."This is truly the perfect day!"

And it was.
