Birthday Week

Hello family and friends! My birthday week was fun and exhausting! My virtual food drive ended up providing almost 1,000 meals to Harvester's Community Food Network in Kansas City. Several of us went down to the warehouse and sorted fresh fruits and veggies that were donated to Harvester's. I have never seen so many bell pepper, tomatoes and jalepeno peppers! We accomplished alot in a few short hours.

I enjoyed a birthday lunch with my dear friend Sherri Hoover, dinner with my family, and a girl's night out celebration on Thursday evening with my small group from church. We laughed a lot this week! Looking forward to being in the Overland Park parade in the morning. Will post parade pics soon after!

September events with Mrs. Kansas US

Happy September everyone. I have been busy with both girls in school, dance and volleyball! I ran on a relay team on September 11th in The Patriot's Run benefiting the Salvation Army in Olathe. Our team placed 5th overall with over 50 miles ran!
I also went on a kindergarten field trip with Lexi's class to Louisburg Kansas to see the Cider Mill. We saw how they make the cider and delicious apple donuts! I can't believe I live so close to this and have never been before!
This weekend I am preparing to celebrate my 40th birthday at Harvester's Community Food Network in Kansas City. My mom is coming into town to help us celebrate and about 40 friends are donating their time to celebrate my birthday and give back to our community. I have a virtual food drive at http://www.stephaniesbirthday.harvesters.org/. So far, friends have provided over 800 meals through my virtual food drive! I am also blessed to celebrate my 16th wedding anniversary on September 17th. Sixteen years has flown by!

Finally, I am looking forward to being in the City of Overland Park 50th Anniversary Fall Parade on Saturday September 25 in downtown OP. I am riding in a blue convertible Corvette and will be towards the end of the parade!
