Friday-
We went out to celebrate with Dan's co-workers. Their manager got promoted so he will no longer be at their building, so it was more of a send off for him. We had a fun night. I got to know some of them better, and then later my brother and some of his friends met up with us! Check out some of these photos of Dan dancing, they are a little hard to see but still a little funny.
Saturday-
I spent the day with my parents, grandma, and sister. My grandma and grandpa every year went to the graves of all of their family members here in Iowa and put flowers on them. Being that is was 1 year ago this past weekend of my grandpas passing (I can't believe he has been gone that long) we took the job on with my grandma. It was a great day! We drove a little over 400 miles on Saturday. All the while Dan is at work. We stopped at a little hole in the wall, small town restaurant to eat lunch. Okay, this is a super small town, the 5 of us ate a full lunch, two appetizers, drinks, and two desserts for $40. It cost Dan and I that much a lone for just dinner. Crazy!! So we went to all the towns, then we went to go visit my great aunt and uncle on their farm...it's been a loooong time since we have been on a farm, so we played with the pigs and walked around and I took some shots, it was great to see them, and the farm! Then we hit the final graves in Oskaloosa before heading home. Saturday night we had a cook out with some of my friends from high school then headed to a bar here in town that is closing. It's the Urbandale hang out, which I try to avoid at all costs I must admit, but we went because that's what everyone wanted to do. It got better as the night went on I will admit, even though I was super tired from the night before of not getting to bed until around 1:00 and having a little to much to drink and then getting up and running at 6:30 before a full day in the car starting at 8:00. So I'm sure some of you can sympathize with how I was feeling right?!? haha, so either way, my brother and his friends, and sister, and cousins met up with us. All in all a pretty good night!
Sunday-
wow, writing this all out makes me tired all over again-- Sunday It was super hot out so we went to my grandmas pool for a bit, before going to the store to make a new salad recipe that I found, to take to Doug and Holly's BBQ. Which was a lot of fun, met some new people, and just hung out. Which I have to add, I have so many mosquito bites, I don't remember the last time I had them, they itch like crazy!! I went home pretty early like 11:00ish. My parents were watching Buddie for us, he had been home a lot by himself since we were so busy the last few days that I didn't want him being alone again, so he went to grandpas and grandmas, which they spoil him like crazy so he loves it. Dan got home about 3:00am or so. Needless, to say I'm not even going to write about Monday because we were so beat that we just watched T.V. and napped all day long!
So now for this week so far, running is going great, I'm up to 4 miles, and then Saturday I will run my first 5 miles. I can do it all without stopping so I feel amazing and my body is getting back to college hotness that Dan fell in love with, haha! Non of my clothes fit but I'm not going to complain about that, summer sales will be starting soon! :)
Buddie has been doing pretty good, he started the whole not eating thing, however we found out he just thinks he gets to pick what he wants to eat. He was eating green beans just fine, then the other night he would just pick them out of his bowl and put them on the floor. Come to find out he wanted his regular good again. Then the other morning I gave him his regular food and he went to the fridge and started whining...he wanted his ice cream...yes for breakfast, where does he learn these things?? We love him so much and he makes us laugh all the time with the new things he learns out of no where! He's still doing pretty well, his left eye is starting to bother him, we do have some stuff we can put in it which is really helping a lot so thank God for that. I think we are caught up to today now... Oh yeah, I have an interview tomorrow with the Gannett Company, for an Imaging Specialist position. I'm excited, even if I don't get the job I am looking at it as great experience, it's been a long time since I have had an interview. I will be sure to update you all on how things go! Hope everyone is having a great SHORT week!
Love from the Buchholz 3
