Well, this weekend Dan and I had the pleasure to drive to Iowa for one of my best friend's wedding in which I got to be a groomsmaid. It was a loooong drive, but luckily my dear sister Erin lives in Bloomington and lets us crash at her place.
We left Columbus later on Thursday night, ran into some construction delays. Long story short we arrived in Bloomington at 2:30 in the morning, which mind you, is 3:30 our time.
The next morning we got to hang out with Erin and Nora, it was a lot of fun and we hada great food and conversation. Then Dan and I left for Moline. We checked into the hotel and went to the rehearsal dinner. Which was followed by great food :).
Afterwords we hung out in the hotel. I just really wanted to sit in the hot tub and when we got down there, 15 teenage boys were occupying the tub. I did go in for a little bit but left when it got too awkward.
The next morning I got up and met the girls to get our hair and makeup done. We went to Capri (the hairschool). It was a good time, I was happy with my hair and make up.
We went to the church and got ready and then the wedding followed. We went to the reception which was at a vineyard in Colona, IL. It was so much fun. It was a great laid back wedding. I got to see people I sued to work with at camp and some I went to school with. I had a great time and am so thankful I got to be a part of it.
Sunday morning we left Moline and met my roommate from college, Sarah, at a McDonald's for a quick cup of coffee then off to Eldora. We hung out with my parents and my best friend from before preschool came to visit. It was good to be home again. Again Dan and I enjoyed good food and conversation.
Then we went to Ankeny and to Des Moines to see my other sister Steph and Dan's Mom and my best friend from high school Troy. We went to Steph's for food and again had great food and conversation with Jay, Steph and X. That little boy is too cute. Dan and I left to meet up with Troy. After that, we went to Dan's mom's house. It was really good to see everyone and hang out.
The next morning we went out for breakfast and spent the day hanging around Dan's moms and then we met Dan's dad for late lunch/early supper with his dad. We went to Mustard's, which is a really good restaurant. The day was filled with great food and conversation.
We drove to Erin's house that night and woke up the today and headed back to Ohio.
It was a great trip and I am glad I got to see everyone. We did miss a lot of people, but hopefully we will catch them soon. It made me realize how far away we really are from everyone! I hope someday to be a little closer to home. Thanks to everyone that made time for us-we are lucky to have such wonderful friends and family!

World's Worst Blogger
Maybe I am being a little over dramatic-but I am horrible at blogging. The good news is, I will be done with school in two weeks and will FINALLY have more time/desire to blog it up!
Let's see not a whole lot has happened..story of my life...I am busy with work and school, just trying to keep my head above the water!
I got a car and glasses.
Dan graduated with a Masters from OSU. It was the HOTTEST graduation ever. 96 degrees in the hot sun from 11:30-3:30. I got a nice sun burn too. It was a good ceremony, just very hot. Dan's mom and dad came to visit, and we went out all over Columbus. I als got ot hear Brian Williams speak, it was really amazing. He mentioned about using blogs to discuss issues that are important to us. Something I think I will start dong very soon.
In the beginning of July Dan and I went to Bloomington to my sister Erin's for Nora's baptism and my dad's 60th birthday! It was a lot of fun to see everyone and hang out. I like that is is a shorter drive than going all the way to Iowa as well. All my nieces and nephew are growing up so fast. It is also a nice reminder that i may not be at the point in my life where it is time to have children. It was great time, great food, great company and GREAT fireworks....
Last weekend Dan and I went to King's Island, an amusement park in Cincinnati and had a blast! We went on some rollercoasters and rides and to the water park to the Wave Pool. It brought back pleasant memories of family vacations to Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun.
Well now that school is about done my goal is to have my blog updated frequently with rantings and ravings for you to enjoy!
Until then let these pictures satisify your hunger!
