Fantastic weekend

What a fantastic weekend! Andy and I have been having a wonderful time catching up with old friends, new friends and of course our families. This summer has been, well, fantastic!

Friday evening we ventured to William's in Uptown. This was a new experience for both of us, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We met a few of my sorority sisters and their husbands for a few drinks. What a blast! To say the least, Andy was entertained and has some wonderful stories to share.

My mom came up for a visit on Saturday and spent the night. Unfortunately, Dale had to work so he wasn't able to come along. We had a great time as usual, but it was a very busy two days! some of the highlights were Koehler and Dramm Wholesale Florist, Ikea (mom loves it), the St. Paul Farmer's Market, and the olive bar at Lunds. Mom LOVED the olive bar.

This Saturday we are attending Michael Wheeland's 1st birthday party. Andy and I have never met little Michael, so it should be tons of fun! We will also be driving to Vesta for the Kletscher Family Reunion on Sunday.

I'm miffed!

So, I just realized that I lost one of my diamond earrings. I've been wearing these earrings every day for the past year and a half, how did one of them fall out now? Seriously, the stud and back are gone....nothing remains. Ugh, I'm so pissed right now. I knew something bad was going to happen today. Thank goodness it wasn't anything more serious, but it doesn't keep me from being pissed! I don't think I can stress that enough!

UPDATE: Andy found my earring in the bathtub drain. Yep, I looked there, but apparently not as good as he did. Thankfully I have him to find all of my missing stuff. :)

Family, fun, fireworks, friends and a wedding

The Fourth of July was a blast! Andy and I met some of my family at Flandrau State Park in New Ulm. It was relaxing and fun, just what we were looking for! We played games, went swimming, and of course ate way too much. That evening we watched the fireworks in Waseca with my mom at Clear Lake Park. We then ventured back to mom and Dale's, and sat around the fire pit while Andy and Dale set off legal fireworks.

Saturday we attended Tiffany and John Perrin's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding, but very hot. I'm happy to report that no one passed out! There was a lot of catching up with sisters whom I haven't seen in years. It was very nice to see everyone again, and I hope we can continue to keep in contact. Congrats Tif and John!

We wrapped up our weekend sitting by Lake Minnetonka and going for a nice walk. It was a nice end to our weekend. :0)

Social butterfly....finally!

So, I've finally become a social butterfly. Well, for the time being anyways. It has been really nice to see both old and new friends, but I would say just getting out and being social has changed my mood drastically. I am way happier, so I think I need to continue to socialize and live life.

It has been my goal the last two weeks or so to be positive. Although I haven't been 100% successful, it has made me a happier person. I love it! So, hopefully I can start living life to it's fullest...something this 27 year old hasn't done in a while!

My new mode of transportation

After a couple weeks of looking around and trying to find the perfect bike, I finally broke down and bought the one I'd been pining over at Target. Yes, I know it's not the top of the line, but I think it's a beauty. It has enough of the features I was looking for and will do the job it's intended to do. I can't wait to try it out!

Everybody's working for the weekend!

Andy and I will have an extended weekend due to Memorial. We've chosen to take Friday and Tuesday off in addition to the mandatory Monday. Woohoo for five day weekends! We're hoping to spend a little time relaxing, doing some sightseeing, and SOCIALIZING! We really need to get on that whole socializing thing. :)

Week in review...

What a busy week! Well, for me at least and I'm sure Andy had one as well.

Last Sunday I attended the graduation/confirmation party for Amber and Caleb. It was a fun time seeing a majority of the Kletscher family. Amber will be moving up to the cities for an internship, Miranda will be heading to South America and Adam gave us the details of his engagement. That's right, my little cousin is getting married! Adrienne will be a great addition to the family! November 15th will be a blast!

I spent the rest of the week in Waseca working at the flower shop. It's always fun going back and digging in. It's like a breath of fresh air. Mom had enough of me during the week, so her Mother's Day gift was the day without me. :)

We spent Mother's Day with Laurie. Her hanging baskets are planted and beautiful. Andy and I will have to go over there some time this week to plant the hostas, impatiens and possibly distribute the poppies. We'll also be helping with a garden in the front of the house, but that is going to take a little more planning and manual labor. I can't wait!!! The gardening bug has bit me!

Eric, Marie and Linnea are down for the week. Eric will be graduating with his Masters in Education on Saturday and has a few interviews this week. Congrats on the accomplishment!!! :) Miss Linnea continues to grow and become more beautiful each time we see her. We can't wait to see who she turns out to be! Eric and Marie will also be celebrating their 3rd Anniversary next week. They have had a lot happen in those three years!!!

Andy and I are excited for the nice weather and the craziness that summer brings! Bring on the packed weeks, we'll rest in the winter!
