1 Year Anniversary

Well Sunday was our 1 year wedding anniversary... we were at the lake all weekend which was ultra relaxing. It felt great to get away from everything here and literally just sit and do nothing. We didnt even get in the lake at all.. Cory didnt put the jetski in at all either... we just sat and relaxed outside.. I finished the book i was reading and we watched movies. Saturday night we went to Salina and ate out for dinner then back to the campground and had a realy good campfire where we roasted marshmellows. We brought the cat along for this camping trip... he did okay but let's just say he wont be coming with us EVER again... quite the rambuxious one at night... Anyways... i can't believe we've been married for a year already... doesnt seem possible.. the year has sure flown by. Now we have 2 months and baby madyson will be here and then i'm sure the years will fly by. I can't wait though. Im 31 weeks now and getting more and more anxious to meet this little girl and see whats been kicking me and making me get up and go to the bathroom quite often! LOL. As it is right now... if Madyson comes when she's supposed to due date of october 29th I will probably take 8 weeks of work because then i'll be able to get through all the holidays and go back to work the first of the new year... But we'll see what happens.

2009 MALE ATHLETE OF THE YEAR FOR KANSAS!!!

Koehn and Kowitz named 2009 Sunflower State Games Athletes of the YearFormer Kansas State and WNBA star Laurie Koehn has been named the 2009 Sunflower State Games Female Athlete of the Year. Koehn who resides in Hesston, played with the X-Women, a team comprised of former college basketball standouts from Kansas, hit the winning shot in the woman's basketball championship game to win the gold medal. South Hutchinson's Cory Kowitz, 31, was selected Male Athlete of the Year after taking home two medals in the 2009 Sunflower State Games as well as a Gold Medal in the 2009 State Games of America. Looking for a chance to keep her skills sharpened over the summer, Laurie Koehn decided to participate in the 20th Anniversary of the Sunflower State Games. "I thought it sounded fun to be able to compete with my friends" Koehn says, "I love the fact that this event allows people of all ages to participate." A third degree black belt in Karate, Kowitz has won 86 medals since 1984 competing in local, regional and national tournaments. Now a Martial Arts instructor himself, Kowitz encourages his students to compete each year at the Sunflower State Games. "This event gives Kansas athletes a rare opportunity to take part in something special and to be recognized for their special talents" said Kowitz, Koehn and Kowitz have been nominated for the National Congress of State Games Athlete of the Year Awards, which will be presented at the NCSG Annual Banquet in Ames, Iowa in October.

Home from vacation and back to the ol' grind..

Well we made it back to Hutch from Colorado and have been back for about a week now. Cory is the 2009 State games of America champion.. He took home the gold for the state of Kansas. So Congratulations goes out to him. Now we are waiting to see if he is the 2009 athlete of the year for the sunflower state games! He's really getting his name out there for teaching karate which is what he loves to do. So good for him!! :)
Yesterday we went over to Wichita and we registered for baby stuff. That was fun! We went to Babies R Us first and realized they had everything we could think of... So basically everything is on that list but there are a few items on a Target Baby Registry. I was just not as impressed with Target for baby stuff they didnt seem to have alot of stuff. Oh well. I'm pretty pleased with what we do have picked out for Madyson! Hopefully she'll like it too when she comes!
Thats about all thats been happening here lately.. not much.. im still working at Kroger and has its good days and bad but all jobs have that... Cory's still here job hunting we're hoping to hear something soon about a few places!
Here's some more pictures from Colorado and also my husband grand Champion!
