Weekend Recap

I ended up being so busy this weekend that I never got the chance to get back on and write. It was good to have a busy weekend for a change again though. I also had a lot of fun overall, now that I am FINALLY getting over this bronchitis or whatever it is I had.


Saturday I went down to Kenyon and Wanamingo with Ally and Ken. They wanted to see where I used to live. It was weird to be back down there. The farm is torn down and is no longer there and it was strange to see other people living in our old house in Wanamingo. I miss the house a ton…I however do not miss living in a small town. I was telling my parents if we could put our house in Wanamingo on the farm property outside of Kenyon I would want to move back really bad.


After we got back from down there we picked up Sam at her house and then Sam and I went to see Paul at the movie theater. It was really good, funny. I needed the laughs…laughter is good for the soul! After the movie we went to the Mall of America and stopped to talk to Jenica before meeting up with Ally at the Rainforest Café. LOVE IT! That is my new favorite restaurant. I finally got home from MOA around 11pm and went straight to sleep.


Sunday morning I got up at 7am and got myself ready for Mass at St. John Neumann Catholic Church. That has got to be my favorite place on earth! I walk in the doors and immediately feel myself relax and I feel comfortable…almost like I’m home. I decided after Mass that I really need to start going back to church on a regular basis because when I left I felt absolutely amazing. Between church and my 40-Day Purpose Driven Life Challenge for Lent, I am happier than I have been in a really long time.


After church Ally, Sam and I headed to the Xcel Energy Center for the MN Swarm game…the Swarm lost, but I am definitely a HUGE Swarm fan now! We all had so much fun at the game and didn’t want to leave before the game was over. Unfortunately, we had to leave when there was still almost an entire quarter left because Sam had to get to work. I will definitely be going back to a Swarm game. After we dropped Sam off at work Ally and I went to Turtle’s Bar to eat with Mama J. I, again, went to bed early that night because I had to get up for my 3-month post-op appointment on Monday morning…more about that later. =)
