Big sis birthday update: This weekend was filled with time spent enjoying the company of our family and friends. On Saturday the fam got together to cheer on our Jayhawks WIN against rival Mizzou, and to celebrate Mariss’ birthday.

Game watchin', Rock Chalkin', wing eatin', and a flu recoverin' Bean.

Later on in the evening we headed out to our dear friends, Molly and Travis’ couples wedding shower. These are two of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet so it was nice to be able to celebrate their engagement and upcoming wedding with them and the rest of our friends.

This morning I was up early to take Marcus to the airport (man, I’ve been doing this a lot lately!) to catch his flight out to D.C. for a very special dinner tonight with the President of the US of A. If we are lucky, he’ll get a picture that I can share later. After a trip to the gym, Mass, and grabbing a few essentials from Target with the fam, I headed to Star Bar for lunch with my sister Morgan.

After such a busy and eventful weekend my Sunday night was spent recharging for the week ahead. I did that by painting my nails a fab coral color, rearranging my shoes in my closet, watching the Oscars and spending time with my furry friend, Karl.

Karl could care less about my pretty nails.

And here are my top two dress faves from the evening at the Academy Awards:

Seeing red: Michelle Williams in Louis Vuitton & Emma Stone in Giambattista Valli

On that note, I’m going to continue watching the show and slowly drift to sleep. On this week’s to do list? Not quite sure yet.
