Dear Friends and Family,
We spent the weekend in the Twin Cities.
Saturday proved a tough travel day. The last flight out Friday had canceled, so the morning flights were all full. We landed about two hours after we originally anticipated, putting us in scramble mode for the morning. We headed over to Punch for some pizza. And, then to Caribou Coffee to meet with our financial adviser. From there it was a mad scramble to stop by our dry cleaners. And, then to make it to Frenchie's house for the afternoon. Sun, laughter, a lovely girl in her not so lovely terrible twos, and we were finally able to relax and enjoy the day.
We headed out to the grocery store for some grill items and then to the movie complex for some gift certificates before ringing our neighbors doorbell. Our neighbor, the daughter, was celebrating her birthday so we counted down the seconds until she turned 10 ala New Year's Eve style. From there, we headed over to our other neighbors' house for some delicious curry and chocolate cake. We spent most of the evening catching up with them and everyone shared pictures from their most recent trip - Korea, Florida and Alaska.
Sunday, I met up with a girlfriend for lunch. Mr. mouse opted out and did some shopping instead. It's so good to catch up with friends. I'm beginning to realize I don't have any social network set up in Chicago. I think between the long work hours, the longer commute, the fact that Mr. mouse is local, and that we travel on the weekends, we haven't done much with anyone here in town. I have lunch this week with a work colleague, so that's a step in the right direction. The trip back included a one flight delay, but we made it home in time to enjoy the last of a sunny Sunday.
Cheers!
