Relaxing Weekend at Home

It's been a lovely Spring weekend in Minneapolis. We've been on the road a lot and have three trips coming up so it was really nice to be home and the weather could not have been more beautiful.

Friday evening I got to catch up with a few Kappa ladies which was wonderful. I volunteer as treasurer on the Twin Cities Alumni Board so I hosted a planning meeting at the condo, which was 3/4 chatting and wine with some solid budgeting and 2010-2011 strategy discussions squeezed in. Brian got a round of golf in and shot 4 over par - not to shabby!

Saturday we headed North to catch up with our good friends Nate & Brooke and their adorable little ones. After lunch the boys went boat shopping and the ladies headed to the Outlet Mall. It's a good thing it took 7 months for me to discover the Baby Gap Outlet - loved it! Made my first baby purchase - two cute little summer outfits for $12. The Coach Diaper bag sure was tempting and the outlet price was decent but I was able to resist for now...



We headed North again in the evening for a grill out at our friends Natalie & Dave's place in Maple Grove. Bella was a lucky girl and got to come with to the party and play with their yorkie Dylan. They are both from the same breeder and have the same coloring so we think they are distant cousins.


We spent this afternoon in Burnsville enjoying the weather. A true sign of Spring is when my parents open the three season porch which us kids affectionately call the tree house. Nothing better than watching Twins games out there. Bella loves to lounge in the sun and watch the birdies and bark at squirrels. Their putting green is open for the season and the waterfall is flowing....yay Spring!







We had burgers on the grill for dinner and my little brother Trent stopped by on his way back from VEISHEA in Ames. Always the life of the party he livened up dinner by saying "I may or may have not gotten another tattoo last night." This beauty is a result of a lot of beer and a lost bet - Go Twins/God Bless America ;)
