Mad Town

After Brendan's wedding, we figured we were close enough, so we headed down to Madison for Saturday night. Donnie and Heather were kind enough to put us up for the evening. The weather was perfect again, so we headed to the Union Terrace for a couple of drinks.We played President, where I absolutely ruled. I was the president every round except one, when I was vice. My luck would not hold out the rest of the evening unfortunately.
Chad met up with us later, at the Irish Pub. Chad recently graduated with his law degree, and will be moving down to Chicago.
We did a bit of a tour of State Street, heading over to The Pub next.
We decided to head back to Donnie's around 11ish. No one knew quite how tired Donnie was, though. He crashed hard. For which we made lots of fun. The rest of us stayed up a few more hours playing more card games.
The ride back was less than comfortable. We thought it would be a good idea to save on gas money and all cram into Mike's truck. Five people in an F150 is NOT the way to spend 4+ hours. We stopped in Black River Falls to stretch. Like many places in Wisconsin, they have giant figurines for advertising stuff.
This one's for you, Hye.
All in all, a great weekend. It was exactly the escape I needed.

Brendan and Lori Tie the Knot

On Friday, Kelsey and I headed down to Merrimac, WI with Mike, Alisha, Shawn, and Megan to attend Brendan Dwyer's and Lori Kettlehut's wedding. It was held at Devil's Head Resort. It was one of the best weddings I've been to, very small and relaxed. There were about 110 guests, many from high school and Minneapolis.

The weather held out for a picture perfect ceremony.Yeah, my eyes were closed. It was still the best picture I had.

Here's the wedding party doing the wave during the first dance.
The coolest part was the attention to detail in the wedding. They had a great voice over during the first dance. And the program had the whole story of how they met.

Congrats and Best Wishes for the future!

OUCH!

Was in a small car accident on Thursday. The Explorer took it like a champ, though! It's just a flesh wound.

Crappy camera phone picture at the scene:Later. Had to bend the bumper out to drive it.
The alignment's off quite a bit now. I think I'll just replace the bumper with a 2"x8". How's that gonna look?
