So life here with the Cook's in Kansas has been very hectic. Work is definately out of control this semester. So I will give you a brief recap of what has been going on in the last week or so:
Thursday: Our friends, Tanya and Josh Massey packed some of their things since they are moving to Stillwater, OK. Tanya has taken a job at Oklahoma State. She started yesterday. Tanya and Josh are some of our closest friends here so we will definately miss them, but Stillwater is not too far for us to go and visit.

Friday: One of the student organizations I advise hosted a program in our student union, so I went and helped with that. When I arrived home, Audrey was asleep on the couch and had been since about 8pm. When I tried to take her to her room she woke up. She then was wide awake and wanted to play. This went on until about 1:30 when we finally gave up and all went to bed in our bed. Audrey is not a good bed sharer so this made for a very restless night.

Saturday: Audrey woke up at about 7:30 a.m.!! I got up with her and let Laurie sleep in a little bit. We were pretty lazy most of the morning and into the afternoon. At about 3, we dropped Audrey off with some friends and Laurie and I went to see "Brokeback Mountain". I know you are all surprised that it is showing in Manhattan, KS. The theater was very full. It was definately a touching movie. The acting performances were quality and I have seen more graphic sex scenes in R rated "straight" movies. It is certainly worthy of all the buzz. Wethen went to dinner at Panera Bread with friends and then came back to our house and played the DVD Pop Culture Trivial Pursuit 2. It was much fun.

Sunday: I had a work event all day! I traveled to KC and then back to Topeka. We made it home around 9. It was a long day, but fun talking with prospective students and parents.
