A special thanks to my WONDERFUL husband who drove 6 hours ON HIS BIRTHDAY to take me to a dear friend’s wedding! Michael is always so giving, and this was just one more example of his sacrificial spirit. The trip was a WHIRLWIND! We drove up on Friday, and back on Saturday, but it was so great to be able to celebrate as my friend got hitched! CONGRATS, Sarah!
the Bat’s ballgame
Went to an Louisville Bats Game with some friends…
We had a great time. Michael and I sang for a $10,000 Oreo Jingle Contest, and received two free t-shirts for participating. The friends we met at the park came early and got 3 bobble heads. One of the players on the opposing team threw a ball to us. And between all of us, we caught 2 more promotional t-shirts! That’s 8 free things at the ball park! Score–I never get free things like that! Maybe we’ll win the contest, too!
That’s all, folks. Happy Monday. (why did I feel like the above was a math word problem?!?!?! lol.)
My newest friend!
I’d hate to break a promise…
So, a while ago, I blogged briefly about going to Cincinnati with friends. I mentioned that when I got the pictures, I’d blog about it….I’d figured I should do as promised, so here they are! I love getting together with friends from college (or anyone for that matter). However, the challenge is getting an open date on everyone’s schedules that is tricky.
We basically restaurant hopped and talked…hmmm…my specialties…eating and talking. I think those are the only areas in life that I qualify as an expert, and maybe then it should just be “foot-in-mouthing” instead of talking, ha! We went from dinner on Friday to our hotel to breakfast to lunch to Starbucks for a snack…all we did was talk, talk, talk.
The view from our hotel.
Just chillin’.
In college, our husbands (and one other guy) had this great idea to take us on dates and make us wear these ugly shirts with goofy nicknames that they had embroidered for us. Something happened (thankfully) and we never had to wear them. Michael gave me mine after we were married; I think the same may be true with Jill. Jill and I apparently both wear them as sleep shirts, and unbeknownst to the other, both brought them five years later just for the humor of it. So, we actually carried out our men’s plan 5 years later. What irony. (I’m sure, too, the Ohio State coloring was not coincidental. He was trying to indoctrinate me early on in our relationship. Someday, I’ll have to tell you about the Ohio State pullover he gave me for MY birthday so HE could wear it. LOL)
And our last stop–enjoying Starbucks. Like mentioned, there really wasn’t any sightseeing…just eating and talking, so the only picture opps were restaurants and the hotel.
GREAT TIMES! Thanks, Matt & Jill!
