Jack came to visit!

This past weekend Ryan's fraternity brother, Jack, came to visit us from Texas.  He flew in Friday night and we went to Stroud's for our second time (Jack's first).  Since you probably aren't familiar with Stroud's, I suggest you check out this clip from Man Vs. Food:

It was delicious, yet again, and Jack gave the thumb's up.  We were in a food coma after leaving, so we just hung out until we passed out.

On Saturday, Ryan insisted that Jack tries his new favorite doughnut place, John's Space Age Donuts.  We saw Unstoppable later that afternoon, then went to Oklahoma Joe's for an early dinner.  That night, we checked out Kansas City's Power & Light District.  We really liked it and had fun!  Even though it was downtown, everything was super clean and so CUTE! We first went to a dualing piano bar and then checked out another bar that had women dancing on bars in Santa outfits.  I was a little skeptical, but this bar only played awesome Christmas music & boy bands! Heaven!! I'm talking Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You" and "Backstreet's Back".  I loved every second of it.

We had the Chiefs/Broncos game to go to on Sunday.  We were hoping it would warm up, but we were dead wrong.  Our seats were in the shade and facing the wind.  Add those two factors with an already 20 degree day and that does not equal fun.  We had fun at the game, but by the end of the 3rd quarter we were so miserable we had to leave.  I did get some good pictures:

This guy thought it would be cute to propose to his girlfriend at the bar.  His proposal "We've been through a lot, babe, through the years.  I never had the chance to have a formal proposal, so will you marry me?" Ryan, I'm glad you didn't propose to me like this guy :) 

Huge cowgirls & cowboys in front of the KC skyline.  Coolest thing ever!

Arrowhead Stadium! KC has some hard core fans!

Jack, we had a lot of fun with you and hope we can see you again soon!  

On a side note, Ryan and I booked our flights to Richmond this morning! :) Since I won't start working until January, I'm going to be there an entire week.  Ryan has to work til the 23rd, so he's only going to be there for 2 days.  I'm glad we found the same flight back on Monday the 26th! I can't wait to spend Christmas in Richmond and see everyone I miss so much!!
