Recap on the weekend
Friday: We went to The Other Hemmer's house to celebrate Jill's Birthday. It was fun, lots of peeps to chit-chat with. Sadly Brianna had to work but Chris came so that was good. (brianna was sad she couldnt come). I think we were there till about 10:00pm and then came home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Saturday: I met up with my dear friends Sharalyn & Julie W.
We hung out at Bruegger's bagel and caught up on what's going on in our lives. Between the 3 of us there are 10 kids to brag about(including spouses) Did i just say spouses? Our kids are getting married off one by one. WOW
Here's a lovely picture of the 3 of us....aint we just the cutest !
******************************
Saturday Afternoon we helped get Brianna and Chris's new furniture in their house. They picked out a comfy Couch& Loveseat and 2 end tables. Uncle Brad also helped, cuz those couches are heavy man. The townhouse really looks complete now. They have furnished a beautiful home, and it's very "warm" and cozy. Good job you guys :)
I helped Brianna shop for some lamps, she found some very nice ones at Target and Bed Bath and Beyond.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At 6:30pm Brie and I went to "The Crafty Mouse" to an invite only party for Girls only. They had a grat sale, 30% off everything in the store, they also had yummy snacks. We bought a few things for our homes. It was fun to browse around and buy fun stuff.
Later Saturday night we were invited over to Brie and Chris's to watch the wedding Video, it was fun to see the wedding again, it all went so fast, and I really didnt get to soak it in the first time. After the video The kids wanted us to stay and play a game, they had it all set up on the kitchen table and even though Chris had to work at 8 O'clock am today, he still wanted to play....very bad. You see Chris is very competitive and will take every advantage to beat someone in a game. We played "Battle of the sexes" BOYS against the GIRLS. Yes the boys won, but they got all the easy questions. Brianna and I will demand a re-match. We got home about 1:00am this morning. It was such a fun time.
Gavin was nowhere in the picture on Saturday. He went to the Gopher's game with a friend (Jay) and then spent the night at his house.
~~~~~~~~~
Sunday: Church then the mall where we caught back up with Gavin (yeah). Came home and called my sister, we chatted for awhile, just enough to catch up. Brianna collected more things from her room to take to their place, It's quite a process, lot's and lots of stuff.
Rick, Gavin and I had a scrumptious dinner of grilled Hot dogs and french fry's. Wow, so fancy.
**********
So I guess that's about it..... haven't heard from Brice since Friday,I miss him......terribly. I know he is doing well, He is busy with work and school. Hopefully we'll see him in a few weeks :)
So until next time....enjoy the week.
