Update...
Well, we have a few things to update on I guess. And no, this won't be a movie review like Dan's last post was.
For Labor Day weekend we headed back to Nebraska. We made it to Dan's Mom's house around 2:30AM on Friday morning. Friday was spent hanging out with Trevor, Jenni, Connie and Granpa Don. We went to a park in Kearney where the dogs went swimming (Baxter even tried really hard to kill the swans!) and Trevor and Dan played on the slides and jungle gym. The best part about going home - Dan gets to let his inner child play! :)
Saturday our friends Matt and Jessie got married - and the wedding started just a half hour before the first Nebraska game of the season. What timing, huh? Well, thankfully my cousin Laura had her phone handy and graciously texted me updates of the score which I passed on to the rest of the wedding party. Between the wedding and reception we headed to someone's house (sorry...I forgot their names!) to watch more of the game.
The reception was pretty fun (and since the Huskers were winning so big, we didn't care any longer that we were missing the game!). It was great to see all of our friends, and we had a great time dancing. And by "we" I mean "I" had a great time dancing and Dan had fun standing around talking to people.
On Sunday we headed to Mom & Dad's, where of course Baxter was in heaven! He loves chasing the kitties, barking at the horse, and rolling in as many stinky things as he can find. Labor Day weekend is Alumni weekend in Greeley, so Dan and I attended the Alumni banquet. Good food - boring speeches. But fun to see people that I haven't seen in so long! Hard to beleive that next year will be 10 years that I've been out of high school. I'm feeling old! :(
Monday we headed back to Minnesota - it was a pretty uneventful drive with Baxter sleeping for most of it!
This weekend my cousin Ryan and his wife came over for the NE vs Wake Forest football game. Ryan and Michaela just moved up here from Omaha about 3 months ago and they haven't had much of an opportunity to meet people yet. It was great to see them, since I haven't seen Ryan in about 2 years...and I can't remember the last time I met his wife! Now we have someone to watch all the Husker games with...these Big 10 fans just don't understand when I complain about Callahan or can't get excited about a 3 point victory! It's good to have more Husker fans around! :)
