Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! We didn't do anything too crazy, but it was good. Since my birthday was in the middle of the week, Bryan came and took me out to lunch which was nice to get out of the office. That night my parents were supposed to take us to dinner but there ended up being 18 people there. My grandma isn't doing the best, so a lot of family has been visiting recently. The dinner was fun, but chaotic too since all of my nephews and my niece were there.
We had a wedding in Waterloo last Friday night which was really fun. The reception went until 1:30am, which I'm pretty sure is the latest one I've ever been too. The party was hoppin'! I couldn't believe it though... the reception was at a country club, and the first hour was supposed to be open bar with provided beer and wine after that. The bride's dad decided part-way through the cocktail hour that it was his only daughter so that there was going to be open bar ALL NIGHT. Unbelievable. We were trying to figure out what the bar tab alone was, and my guess it was at least $15,000-$20,000.
Saturday night Bryan took me out for my birthday to Cafe di Scala. It's an Italian restaurant that is in an old Victorian home. We've been wanting to try it for a long time, so this was the perfect opportunity. It was absolutely fabulous (food, wine, ambience, service)! It would be a great place to go for great food and wine if any of you come to visit.
Other than that not too much to report... we're looking forward to football season, so starting next weekend we'll be in Iowa City quite a bit.
Hugs to all!
