Quiet before the Holidays

We have been up to much since Iowa football finished their regular season against Minnesota.  Trying to save up money on the weekends for the holidays.  Ryan and I took the trip back to Northwest Iowa for Thanksgiving with the Rouse's.  We celebrated Thanksgiving at the Main Street Bar and Grill in Bancroft, Iowa.  A very nice bar and grill for the little tiny town it is in!  We ate our traditional meal in the party room and enjoyed playing pool and foosball (sp?) after dinner.  This weekend we will be traveling back to the Quad Cities for Ryan's family Christmas at Jack and Diana's!  It has been a while since I have been back with him to Eldrige so I am excited to see the young ones, and the old ones!

This last weekend we had some visitors, my best friend from home Andrea and her boyfriend Shawn stayed with us on Saturday night.  We went to the Cedar Rapids Roughrider hockey game against the Waterloo Black Hawks.  Apparently they are huge rivals and it was a very exciting game!  The Riders won in overtime 4-3.  ActivEdge is the official workout facility of the Roughrider's team and so we have access to free ticket vouchers.  Those will come in handy when there isn't much else to do on the weekends and there is hockey in town!  Here are some pictures from this last weekend.  Ryan and I couldn't take a decent picutre........

I promise for one of my New Year's Resolutions, I will be posting weekly workouts.  Not only will I post weight circuits, but I am going to post a weekly training schedule for running a 10K race.  Daryl and I were just talking today about doing this BIX this summer in the Quad Cities, so let me know if you want to join us :)  Your training schedule will be posted here.  Let's get a head start on Jan 1!

Happy Holidays from the two of us !!
