Happy Birthday Brody

This last weekend, Ryan and took a 4 hour journey off to Omaha to visit his brother and his family. Today is their youngest's birthday and he is "free" years old. To the rest of us that is three ;) We had a nice relaxing time playing with the kids and enjoying Melissa's delicious food!

At work on Friday, Aspen was closed for our annual cleaning day. Every employee that works at the club was in to clean every nook and cranny in the entire gym. It was supposed to take about 4 hours for everything to be done, but with the efforts of over 30 people it only took 2 hours and we got to play dodgeball the last few hours until our food came! It is kind of nice to enjoy quality time with co-workers in a less formal setting and to just have fun throwing balls around. Our GFM ordered about 30 pizzas from Cici's and salads, appetizer platters, cinnamon rolls, french silk pie from Perkins. After scrubbing equipment on my hands and knees all morning, this all tasted really great!

Saturday was a lazy day playing with the kids and watching movies. Both Emily and Brody were really excited for Brody's birthday celebration this year. Emily was more excited to open the gifts for Brody. Melissa's Mom and Brother also came up to celebrate. Melissa's mom make homemade ice cream to go along with the Cars themed cake. YUMMY :) Later that night we went out to a bar in Omaha called 94/95 after the Back 2 Back seasons that the University of Nebraska's football team won the national championships. The theme was really unique; they had all the college team's helmets that have won Back 2 Back football championships in glass cases and the years in which they won. One of the players from the 94/95 seasons actually was working and taking care of us VIPs which was really neat as well. Ryan had a nice time talking football with him. Friends of Daryl and Melissa were playing live music and we enjoyed dancing until bar close.

Every weekend from here until football season's end will pretty much be filled with traveling and visitng family members and friends. Between Iowa, Wartburg, and family, we will be plenty busy! I'll be taking plenty of pictures on the way :)
