Weekend in Ames

This weekend, Matthew and I went to Ames for the weekend. It's the first time we've been there since January 13 (the day after our wedding!) Most of the time was spent relaxing with family. We also went to see Sarah Palin speak in Des Moines on Saturday.



I also got together with Sarah, Jen, Emily, and Kelly at Cafe Diem for coffee and catching up. Jen and I did some wedding stuff together which was super fun!

We went to El Azteca for Mexican food and awesome margaritas. Brady's new girlfriend, Lena, came too.

Family


I miss my family.

This weekend was the first weekend in forEVER that Matt and I really didn't have anything to do or anywhere to go. Saturday morning I woke up and thought, "Maybe my mom and dad or Brady, Wes, and J will drive to Chicago! They could get here by 4pm, we could go out to eat together, hang out, and Sunday we could chill till they had to leave around 4!" So, I call my mom. No answer. I call my dad. No answer. I call Wesley. No answer. I leave him a ridiculous message about how he should come to Chi-town. I call Brady. No answer. Leave same message as Wes. Call Jasey. Finally! I tell her to call me as soon as we talk to the boys so we can get these plans going! My dad calls back. Unfortunately, he and my mom are on their way to Clear Lake. I get the sinking feeling like my plans are not going to work. "But Pops, you can just turn around! You're not that far!" At this point, Matt is (internally) laughing at my silliness, but he's playing along. I hang up the phone with my dad and Matt and I decide to go for a walk. I take my cell phone, though, because I am just certain that Brady, Wes, and J are going to call and tell me they're on their way. No call. Brady finally calls Matt at 2 in the afternoon. After they hang up, I ask Matt, "Did it sound like he was in the car?" I thought that maybe they were all surprising me and coming to Wheaton! Nope. :)

Turns out Matt and I had a very relaxing weekend to ourselves, which was nice. Sometimes when I get an idea stuck in my head (like how I wanted my fam to come to Wheaton), I can't get it out. Anyway, how's that for a random blog post.
