Wonderful Weekend

I had a FABULOUS weekend up north. I think I had a glass a wine in my hand the second I walked in the door. The girls and I just hung out and drank our favorite drinks....wine, screwdrivers and beer were being served :)
Saturday we stumbled out of bed, got ready and headed into Pequot Lakes. We entered a crazy craft store that I fell in love with and then broke the bank at the Fun Sisters on the Lake.
After our outing to Pequot, I tried my hand at beading......I do not consider myself a bead-er, but I had SO much fun doing it and think I have a new found hobby! I was home just before 2pm and of course did what I do best in the afternoons....took a nap!
After laundry and a wonderful steak dinner I sunk into bed on Sunday night thinking about my wonderful weekend.

Now I have California with my mom and sister to look forward to. We leave tomorrow night and come home Sunday. I of course have not packed and will therefore be frazzled tonight, but oh well, I am going on vacation baby!

Let's Hope Swimming Does a Body Good

Last night I went to the Monticello pool and swam with my neighbor Angie. I am sure we were a sight to see as we get in the water in our speedos, swim cap and goggles. We swam about 1700 yards, which is just over 60 laps. I forgot how much I love to swim and what a great workout it is. After our cool down we decided to take a couple runs down the water slide. It was sooooo funny.....we were both screaming as we went down. The lifeguard on duty was just laughing hysterically at us. After the slide we went into the hot tub to make the joints feel better.
I can't Wait to go swimming again tonight!

The weekend was fun. Friday night neighborhood scrapbook party which included some wine and my dogs running loose around the neighborhood for about an hour and a half. My Sadie baby is so freakin' smart. We never lock the door when we are just at the neighbors, but have to now.......she opened the door going out to the garage and probably realized she couldn't get outside that way, so then she proceeded to open the front door. All this happened while Luke and I were both at the neighbors. So my dogs had a fun Friday night as well! Thankfully they stuck right around the neighborhood.

Saturday I was able to watch my new little neighbor Grant Martin for a little bit, then I ran errands and hung out w/ Luke and the guys Saturday night.

Sunday was a spring cleaning day for me. I spent most of the day cleaning the house, I got a lot done! We had my Papa, Sari and Ryan and Luke's parents and Grandma Joyce over for a Spaghetti dinner.

All in all a good weekend.........I head up to Brainerd this next weekend.....I can't Wait!

It just hit me today that I am going to be gone 3 weekends in a row!!!! AHHHHHH!

I leave the last weekend in March for a friends cabin in Brainerd for a girls weekend. The weekend after that Sari and I are in California and the weekend after that Luke and I head to Iowa for Easter with his family. So yeah, lets just say I realize that this next weekend is the only time I will be able to get anything done around my house for a while. I have some projects I want to work on.

That's all for now!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!!!!!!!!!

To all of you Irishmen and women - Happy St. Pat's day!!!!!!!!!

I still have not posted pics. from our Park City trip, I am a slacker!

I have seriously started writing on my blog like 4 different times, but haven't finished. So here are some recaps for you on life in the past week or so.

My sister booked her reception sight - Mill City Museum. We went and visited on Saturday, it is such a neat place! I can't wait for August 7, 2010!!!!!!! Then I had my first Greenie at Jericho's (Totally don't know if that is the name of the bar or not!) but it was some green drink that was pretty tasty!

Saturday Luke and I spent the day together - it was nice, we haven't done that in a long time.

Sari and I are going to California in April. We leave April 1st and come home April 5th. My mom's work is flying her out there for an Ultrasound conference, so we are going to be staying w/ her and lying by the pool for 3 days straight! I can't wait. It will be a great girls weekend away, and we will even be able to see our cousin Shauna who lives in San Diego!!!!!!! YEA!!!!!!!!!

I had a cat at my house over the weekend. I named him Mr. Kitty (I decided it was a "he"). He was wandering around the neighborhood, so I put him in our garage, gave him water and food and a litter box that he eve used! He ran away on Sunday because he was afraid of Sammy the Beagle next door. I definitely would have a cat if I could!

That is about it for now! Hope everyone is doing well!

Congratulations Sista
