Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was great! It was so nice to go home and see Mom, Dad, Holly, Grandma, Grandpa, Jill, Mike, Chad, Sandra, Matt, all my friends and Greg's family too. We went to Greg's parents for Thanksgiving lunch and then to my parents for Thanksgiving dinner (see the picture I stole from Sandra's blog, thanks Sandra!!). Needless to say we were stuffed. Seriously, we couldn't move.

We did find time to have a ping pong tournement, and don't ask me how but Chadles won. We went shopping Saturday morning and then to a movie (Fred Claus), which was actually pretty good.
Saturday night was Holly/Phil/Dad/Chad birthday celebration so we went to the Brown Shoe to eat. It was fun, minus the part where I got food poisoning. Or at least I didn't feel good so I went home and went to bed. Seriously, I was not being a grandma on purpose this time!

It's nice Greg's parents only live a hour away from my parents so we were able to scoot between the two pretty easily. We spent some time with his parents and ate more food and I even learned how to play 500.

It was a great break, I can't wait to go home for Christmas!

VT Weekend

Last weekend Greg and I flew to Raleigh, NC to see our friends Kristin and Andrius. We were only in Raleigh for about an hour before we drove north 3 hours to Blacksburg, VA... home Virginia Tech.

We went to a VT basketball game Friday night and woke up the next morning to go tailgating for the VT/Florida State football game. We had such a great time with all of their friends, and were amazed with the amout of school spirit they have. I know all things Hokie. I know their mascot is the Hokie Bird (who has no name), all of the buildings are made of hokie stone, and everyone is hokie crazy.

The Hokies won the game and we ran out on the field, where the best part of the weekend happened. Right in front of us Andrius proposed to Kristin! She of course said yes (after she could speak) and we celebrated all night long. Congrats Kristin and Andrius!! Go Hokies!

Football weekend

The weekend was great, went to Ames to tailgate with Matt and Sandra (who drove all the way from Chitown!) and a bunch of Greg's friends. We even got to go into the game, which they won! We have officially witnessed ISU win their 2 football games this year. First win was over Iowa, and this weekend they beat Kansas State. I totally stole this picture from Sandra's blog (it was cute, what can ya do?).

Last night cousin Rodney was in town for an interview with General Mills, so Greg and I tried to sell him on Minneapolis. It would be so great if he and Jody would move here. I love having cousins close!
