The Good Life

Well, last week I was able to go home for 4 days and had such a blast! My Grandparents, Aunt Jenny, Uncle Kevin, and cousins Jenna, and Andrew were all in town too! It was a full house and we took turns sleeping with Jenna. For being such a tiny girl, she takes up a lot of the bed, and her feet going up my shirt was a nice touch!
On Monday when I landed, I had Amy take me directly to Amigos for a soft taco and cheesy burrito. That night Amy, her friend Nicole, Elise, and I went to Upstream for a late dinner and a couple drinks. On Tuesday I went to Oakland where Allison was on rotation. I don't think I have seen Nebraska like that, but we had an awesome time. We went to a winery and had a few samples, then headed to her friends house and sat on the porch and drank some more wine with some awesome pizza! Wednesday I stopped by my old Dillards and BCBG store and saw the girls and got caught up on their lives. That night my parents had a bbq, so I could see all of our family friends at once! That night I met up with Kellie for a drink at Old Chicago in the Old Market and she asked me to be her Maid of Honor! I am so excited! I probably should start working on that speech now! Thursday Kellie and I went to go look at wedding dresses-for her! I tried on a couple bridesmaid dresses too. That night Allison, Lindsay, Laura, Kellie, and I went to a CWS game, and I am pretty sure I complained for about 90% of the time. I always get excited to go to games, then end up being miserable once I get there. Once a guy was carried out on a stretcher from passing out we left! Finally! So we went to a beer garden...best part of CWS. Friday morning I left bright and early and was back to work that day!
Jason was not able to make it to Omaha when I was there, but he was driving through on Sunday after I left. He texted me that night saying "I almost died in a tornado near Sidney, NE" and me thinking he is exaggerating says "That's NE for you!" Then I realize he was serious because he was in the hospital! He had a tree go though his window and cut his arm pretty bad and had to spend the night in the hospital! Of course his first time in the state something like that would happen!
I am not sure when my next time home will be, but for sure Lindsay's wedding. I am going to try to make it home in August to see my boyfriend John Legend in concert. We will see!
