It's Our Anniversary

Another eventful weekend for us. Started Friday morning when I arrived home from work, we dropped Gizmo at Karen and Doug's house and hit the road, headed for Chicago with a truck full of furniture. Destination, Dustin Smith's, Chicago IL. I started with a nap, while Ed and Dusty did much painting in Dusty's new condo. When I arrived I assisted with painting, by 7:00 pm we had two coats of paint in the main area of the condo (living room, kitchen, everywhere except the bathroom and bedroom), and one coat in the bathroom and bedroom.

When we were done working for the day we headed out for dinner. We ate at a place called King Crab. It was delicious, both Ed and I had an assortment of seafood, not something we have often, so it was quite the treat. Afterwards we sat at the bar and Dusty relished in the oyster bar, 65 cent oysters as long as you were drinking at the bar. I tried one, wasn't too bad, but I couldn't sit and eat multiple like Dusty was. Then we moved on to another bar, had a few more drinks and shots, and then headed home to bed as we had moving to do the next morning.

Saturday morning we were up bright and early, unloaded Ed's truck of all the things we brought with from WI, then headed to Dusty's old place to move all the rest of his things. Moving in Chicago is much different than WI, more traffic, no parking, and a 2 hour time slot. Needless to say it wasn't easy, but it got done. (Did I mention the amazing view Dusty has from his new place, the Sears Tower is only a couple blocks away, full view from his living room) We were on the road home a bit later than planned but we made it in time for our next scheduled event. Forgot to mention the new table I scored due to Dusty's lack of room in his new place, a wonderful 4 person tall, cherry wood table, now located in our kitchen. Goes perfect with my decor and taste!

Saturday evening, we participated in the Joe Bowe Memorial Bowling Tournament to benefit Suicide Prevention. This was our first time bowling since our last night of league in April, neither of us were real happy with our scores overall, and it was 9 pin tap. Yikes. Oh well, some practice will be needed before league starts in less than a month. We went for dinner and then home to bed as we were dead tired after a long busy weekend so far.

Sunday, Our One Year Anniversay!!!!! We headed to the Brewers Game. Being that the one year anniversary thing is paper, my brilliant idea was to get Ed tickets to the Brewer game, well I waited until last minute when the only tickets available were standing room only, so we didn't sit in nice seats like we are used to but we had some handicap seats in section 406. At least we had a seat, and it was the thought that counted, right? Well, the game was fun, minus the fact that we couldn't tailgate because it was raining, so we ate Subway in the car, and also the Brewers couldn't pull off a win. Our next planned Brewers game is the end of August, Brewers at Cubs, with Dusty and Julie, could be interesting. Brewers fans in Cubs territory, Wrigley Field. Wish us luck. Should be fun, can't wait. So anyway, we will be enjoying our Anniversary cake momentarily, but because we didn't freeze it according to the instructions last year, might not taste very good, so we made a backup, Funfetti cake, our favorite. Because Ed can't wait for surprises, he gave me my gift earlier in the week. He got me a palm pilot that I have been talking about wanting to get. I was going to ask for it for Christmas, but he was actually listening when I would talk about it, and bought it. Gotta love him.

Well, one year down, and many to come. Hope everyone has as fond of memories as we do of our special day, one year ago!
