Long time no blog :)

It's been sort of a crazy busy week and I haven't been able to post at all. I apologize if some sentences don't make sense as I'm typing with on less finger. I was cutting up apples last night to make the Snicker Salad for work today for our potluck and totally sliced open my finger. It KILLED! And would no stop bleeding, in fact it's still bleeding a little this morning. I guess if it doesn't close up by the end of the day maybe i'll head to the hospital and get all stitched up :( Maybe I shouldn't be allowed to cook!

So last Friday I made a split decision to go down to Iowa for the night and visit my grandparents, aunt, cousin and her kids who were down in Story City for the week. I really wanted to see my grandpa because I've been so busy I just don't have any time to go down there and see him. I wish I could go more often, to listen to my grandparents talk about when they were young and all the years lived, is facinating. He knows EVERYTHING, about history, seriously you ask him anything and he'll be able to tell you what year it happened and what went down....quite a spry guy :) I'm so lucky that I've been able to be so close to both sets of grandparents all my life. I lost my Grandpa Ellson a couple years back and it was tough since I was so close to him, but I wouldn't trade being close to them for anything. Your grandparents are an essential piece of your history and a vital piece of your future...with out them, I don't think I would fully know who I was! Anyways, here's a shout out to them, I love you all!

I had a wedding on Saturday I had to get back to, which turned out great, in between the off and on rain (it was an outdoor ceremony), it stopped right in time for the ceremony :) It was Lumberjack days in Stillwater and two of my good friend's birthdays so I hiked my way that way to meet them for some dinner, drinks and a fun time! I was the Designated Driver, so it was a fun time rounding them all up at the end of the night! We even got to try out an Ice Bar that they had, the entire bar was made out of ice and it was -5 degrees in there. Before you went in they gave you Parka's and mittens. It was really cool, I did ask myself why we would go into a -5 degree place when in Minnesota we try to get away from the cold in the summers??? haha, I had a dress and flip flops on so I got a little cold

It was the Bachelorette Finale on Monday, and Jillian picked Ed. They did look really happy, even though I wanted Reid to win! It was fun to watch though!

Tonight my friend Alicia is having her bachlorette party, so Natalie, Robyn and I will be going to that, then it's off to her wedding in Rochester on Saturday! Fun filled-Busy-Week :)
