Chicago and then some!

I headed to Chicago a few weeks ago for my final shower and bachelorette party!  I had a GREAT time spending time with family and friends!!  I enjoyed spending time with my aunt karla and cousin liz whom I never get to see!  Some of my great friends also made the trip into the City to hang out for the day/night as well! So thank you Kristi, Becky, and Meghan!  It was also nice to spend time with my mom, sister, Greg, my brother, Brittany and of last but not least Isabel and Grace!

The weekend after Chicago we had the great joy of having my cousins Sarah and Debbie and their families stop through Omaha on their way back to Springfield and Chicago!  We had such a great time sharing our house and our new lives with family!  We had a full house for the night but we had a great time!!

Doug and I and a friend of mine headed out to the horse races in Ralston last weekend too! Who knew there were horse races right down the road from our house? We sure didn't!! We caught the last race, but we had a great time! We met our neighbors there and bet on a horse and OUR horse came in second to last and their horse came in first...go figure!

This weekend we hosted a get together with friends from my work - we had such a great time - we are finally feeling like this place is "ok" We played the hilarious game of "Just Dance" on the wii and then the girls enjoyed a game of apples to apples while the boys played some ping pong! Then we had to bring out the dancing again!! We had so much fun playing the game that Doug and I had to go out and buy it today!!! Today I headed down the Elkhorn River with a friend of mine and some of her friends - it was a lot of fun and I got some much needed sun! Well, burn, but thats ok! Its better than blending in with my wedding dress :)

I head to Michigan next weekend and Doug will stay here and work - only 35 days to go!!
