I thought I would get you all caught up on what I have been doing with my life.. cause isnt that the whole point of blogs in the first place!?
Memorial weekend was not that long ago... and it was a lot of family and friend time. I was given the Sunday of memorial weekend off... THANK YOU PASTOR NICK! It was so nice to be up in the cities and not have to worry about coming back down for Sunday service. Don't get me wrong, I love Zumbro, but a Sunday off every now and again is nice. So The weekend was filled with Dave's family and my family...with sprinkles of friend time.
I was able to have some sister time with sister Taylor and our neighborhood friends Sara and Louise who are sisters... and then Tay and Sara's friend Nora.. who has no sisters so we include her. Whenever we are all in town we try to get together for a meal, games, whatever.... Since Louise was headng back to boston we had to meet early Friday morning for breakfast... not the ideal time.. but still good to get together and catch up.
Friday night we went out for Dave's dad's birthday! We went to Texas Roadhouse... AMAZING steaks and honey butter for your rolls... a delicious time!
Saturday was Wedding dress shopping day at the wedding shoppe! So exciting! My mom, older sister Steph, Maid of honor Amber, and Dave's mom Lynda all went with me. We went to the wedding shoppe on Grand and tried on a lot of dresses. Sadly I cant post pics of the dress I picked because Dave is not allowed to see it, but if you wish to see it.. just email me and I can send you a pic... I didnt end up buying from Wedding shoppe... because I looked one other place (my mom insisted.. just to be sure), I went to mesteds in Rochester that following Tuesday with some friends that live down here. I did find another dress... but since it was WAY over my price limit... it was a no.... but the good news was they did have the dress I loved (from the wedding shoppe) but for a better price... SOLD! I called my mom and dad.. and that was that. I have a dress!
Saturday night was a bachelorette party for my friend Sarah.. at a Spa in Still Water. I had a massage... which was badly needed.... then the group of us girls got ready and went out for dinner.. came back to the house and played games till late hours of the night. Such a fun group of girls... looking forward to seeing them at the wedding!
Sunday of Memorial day Dave and I had a few BBQ's to go to. One to celebrate Austin's(of Kat and Austin) graduation from St. Thomas! Couldnt stay too long but it was good to see friends of theirs we got to know from their wedding!
Then it was off to my parents for another round.. lots of family and friends were there! It was great to socialize and eat amazing food... and just relax.
Monday Dave and I headed to a movie-Night at the Museum II... it was good.. very creative! Then it was off to his parents for a final BBQ. Ribeye Steaks, salads, rice krispie bars, pie, icecream... all soo good! We got on the topic of wedding pics and ended up looking at Dave's parents wedding pics and his grandpa's wedding albulm. It was fun to see what the styles and traditions were then.. fun to reminise.. hear the stories.
It was time for me to head back to Rochester.. but only for a day and a half because I was off to California.. but I will save that for another post!!!
