Glorious

There really isn't any other word to describe this weekend. A weekend that had no plans, but was filled with friends, sun, relaxing, and outdoor chores. Who knew that doing yard work could actually be fun if the weather was right?

I have to admit I sucked at taking photos this weekend, so call this a weekend in review via Google Images...

EXCEPT for the sweet photo a local radio station captured of some of us who went to Lord Fletchers on Lake Minnetonka for half-day Friday. That's right...half-day Friday's are back. If you don't have them at your place of employment I recommend a petition to HR or something becaues they are incredible.

Here we are soaking the sun up at Lord Fletchers:

Saturday brought Nate's GMAT, a great visit from The Wiktors, and a night of hanging out at Laredos with the Wong/Ponskes.

Does anyone know where we can rent an RV for only a weekend? We cook up some sweet plans when we are with this crazy couple, and that is why we love them.

Sunday morning was my last long run before my first half-marathon next weekend! Nate was nice enough to run with me.When we got home, we immediately hit the yard. We were machines all day, and I have the sunburn to prove it. Well, we have a sweet ass garden to prove it too, but as of right now I am more excited about the sunburn. More to come on the garden...and Nate's adventures in getting rid of bunnies.

We feel a little bad because after we laid 7 bags of cocoa mulch down, our new neighbors (who happen to have a dog names Greta (yeeaahh...nice huh), told us that that stuff is poisonous to dogs...oops. So now we are on Greta look-out...can I tell you how weird it is to hear my name being yelled repeatedly with the word NO attached to it?

Memorial Day started out with a delicious small-town brunch with the girls, and a cute little place Marie picked...Countryside cafe. Reminded me of Central Express in Westby..but without the gas station.

Nate feeling left out of the girls brunch club, finally christened our waffle-maker that we got for our wedding, and made my Mom's waffle recipe. He was pretty pretty pleased with himself when I got home.

And there was some serious movie-watching. We finally got caught up on some Oscar winners...Slumdog and The Wrestler. Well..technically we are watching The Wrestler right now and I am half paying attention..

So there it is..the weekend in review. The weekend was so great, I am actually ready to go back to work. Now THAT is a sign of a complete weekend.

P.S. Mad props to Becca for finished her 2nd full marathon this weekend, and setting a new PR!!
