What a weekend.   Let see where to begin. Well our 10th Anniversary came and went.  Not much happened. We both worked. After work Eric went to class while I cleaned the car and went grocery shopping. Very romantic, eh? Saturday was much the same. I made Monster cookies (and broke another spatula), cleaned the house and picked up a few things at Costco and Eric had class.  

After Eric’s class, we drove down to Mankato and meet my family. We went out for dinner. I had an awesome steak!  It was delicious.  And of course Mike and Mom and to tell them we were celebrating our 10th anniversary so we got a cake and champagne. It was also Bradley’s birthday so he also got cake…but no champagne for him.

After dinner we went swimming at the hotel. When we got sick of that, we played Dirty Clubs…a card game that would never end.  I think Mike ended up winning. Bradley had over 40 points (not good!). Eric and Bradley finished off a bottle of champagne. They were definitely “feeling” it. 

Sunday after breakfast we went to Flandrau State Park in New Ulm.  This is one of my favorite parks because it has a nice sand bottom pool. We try to visit at least once a year. It was the perfect day for it…hot and humid!  We had a picnic lunch and then went swimming for an hour or so.  After swimming we gathered around the picnic tables and played some lawn games.  After everything was packed up and we were ready to leave…Bradley popped the question!  Danielle demanded a soppy story first and then said, “I suppose.” Yep, Danielle is engaged! I couldn’t be happier for them.   I’m very disappointed in myself.  No picture of the ring…I’m not a very good photographer…I should have been all over this.

Well the last two post have been wedding related.  Hmmm...

The next one will be travel related...we leave for our vacation in 32 hours and 24 minutes...

So this weekend we went to my Mom’s house for Easter. We went down Friday and came back yesterday.  It was a nice weekend for the most part. Saturday we went to Aunt Grace’s and played cards.  Saturday night Mike, Mom, Eric and I went out to eat at Wasons for Tylor’s birthday.  Most of his family was there...except for his Mom and sister. I had a good time…it was very interesting, I learned a lot!

So Friday night, Mom wanted me to try getting to the next level on the Candy Crush game on Facebook. She has been at Level 35 for a while now.  Prior to this I never played this game and actually was getting tired of all the posts about it on Facebook. It seems everybody is playing this game. Well I played it over and over and never succeed…but that fueled my addiction to this game. I started my own game.  It is now on my iPad and phone so that I can have access to it at all times.  I’m playing it constantly. Over the last 3 days I have gotten to Level 33.  I’ve been stuck there since yesterday.  Boy is this frustrating. I don’t know how Mom got past this level. It is horrible. The other annoying thing about this game is you can only have 5 lives at any one point.  So if you fail at the level 5 times in a row, you have to wait until you get more lives.  It takes 30 minutes to get a life so you are stuck waiting 20-25 minutes before you can play again. Well I can’t just sit around waiting, I downloaded “Bejewel” and “4 Pics 1 Word” too so that I can play those in the meantime.  So now every time I have a free moment, I’m playing the game.   It’s a good thing I don’t like alcohol…I would have been an alcoholic a long time ago the way I get stuck on addictions.  If you are curious…this is what the level I’m on looks like:
