Weekend Recap

We had a great weekend last weekend. I was looking ahead to this Fall and our weekends are jam packed between now and Thanksgiving. We have lots of fun things planned, and last weekend felt like the beginning of our busy Fall.

We invited my parents over to play games on Friday night, and we had a great time. Saturday morning we ventured over to Stillwater to spend time with our good friends Matt and Amie. It had been almost a year since we had seen them last, so we were definitely overdue for a visit. They fixed lunch for us and we visited, played with Nathan, and taught them a new version of Settlers. They have always been one of our favorite couples to play games with. Later that afternoon we walked around campus to show Nathan his future Alma Mater. The weather was beautiful and we were out and about on campus for a couple of hours.

Nathan always enjoys walks and he seemed to enjoy all the sights of OSU. Afterwards we went out to dinner at a local Mexican place in Stillwater. Then we came back and played another game with Matt and Amie before we drove home. We're hoping to make it back to Stillwater for homecoming again this year, so we'll get to see Matt and Amie again soon.

Sunday afternoon Matt and I went to a wedding of one of my coworkers at Youth Services. It was an outdoor wedding and was a very laid back and fun wedding. They had coke in old fashioned glass bottles and caramel apples as favors. They also had baskets of outdoor games for the kids. We took advantage of those. We're big kids right? They guys had a little fun with the bean bag toss, and then the girls joined in and we all played bocce ball for awhile

Jennifer was a gorgeous bride and her wedding really reflected her personality and style. I'm so happy for her and John. She got engaged right before Nathan was born. In fact, when she visited us in the hospital was when I got all the details of her engagement. It's been fun hearing all the details of their relationship, engagement and wedding.
