Renee's Baby Shower

We had a shower for my cousin, Renee, this past weekend. We had a complete blast. Food was great, games were totally awesome (thanks to my cousin, Siobhan) and she got a ton of great gifts. I had fun making all the scrapbook pages for Renee at the end of the shower so she could use those in the future. Just nice getting the whole family together. Here are some pics. I will add a slideshow later on. Enjoy all!!!


Here is the food table.

Trip to Marquette

So we went to Marquette this weekend (we being, mom, nana and me). We had a great time hanging with Heather and Sean and the puppies. Moxie had to wear her cone again (she has bad allergies so they put that on her so she doesn't lick her legs dry anymore). Poor thing but she still looks cute in it. But the greatest part was seeing Pam again. Been years since I saw her last. We had breakfast at Big Boy (surprisingly, it was pretty good) and played pool at JT Shaft's. Sonni is a good guy and he and pam get along great. Will have to figure out a way to be able to see them in Germany while they are still there. Here are some pics! Will put up a slideshow later.

Driving....

Ok, I am learning how to drive so my friend, Alec, took me out on sunday. I did a much better job than I did before and he was very proud of me. As always, there are things I need to work on (merging and turning are the ones i remember). We drove around burnsville and apple valley. Then as we leave best buy, alec said he wanted to go to cabelas (it's like a REI) so we get onto 35W south. I was already on the highway a few times at this point so i was nervous but not as much as i was before. I stayed in the farthermost right lane the whole time doing between 65 and 70 the whole time and it wasn't that bad. Just had to drive all the way down to almost owatonna to get to cabela's. Great driving experience but wished it was a little closer. I passed a couple of cars, including a truck, otherwise i mostly stayed in my lane. I was just trying to get used to it before being a little more adventurous. Just proud of myself that i did that. Will let you all know about my further practicing later. Tata for now!
