Iowa Part 1

Trisha and I made it to Iowa around 4:00.... despite having a few brake issues. :( We left MN thinking the car was good to go-- new tail light, an oil change, tires checked... however, the brakes started making grinding noises and I (being the novice mechanic that I am!) instantly said, "It's the brake pads." So- after making a few calls, we kept on cruising here, and then brought my car in to get fixed last night. It didn't take them long at all, and I was very grateful to have my car back in an hour. Hopefully it will be set for some time now.

SO- then the real fun began. We started out by heading to the "fastest Mexican restaurant in the world" for dinner. Jack kept us entertained as we dined on some delicious fajitas, quesadillas, chips and salsa. After that, we made our way to the leftover Valentine candy, and then headed back to Amy and Steve's. Steve is gone this weekend- so we are getting in lots of girl time (and of course baby time too!). Once Jack was sleeping, Amy and Trisha helped me start making my invitations-- and though we made progress, we will probably work on them again tonight. Thanks, girls!

As for today, we are leaving Jack with a sitter, and heading to get the girls' dresses and maybe make a quick trip to the mall?? We'll see.... Whatever we do, I know it will surely be an adventure-- it always is!

Oh- and Trisha and I are supposed to head back to MPLS tomorrow, and then all the way home on Monday, but we hear there is a BIG BLIZZARD headed here tonight/tomorrow, so we might end up catching an extra day with the Stepec Family! They are saying rain, then 5-10 inches of snow, followed by 30 mph winds. Sounds pretty nasty.....

Happy weekend, everyone!
