Just a thought for the day

“Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed.”

March 28th

We went to see our friend Adam play in his band, Ardency Rue at Java Joe’s on Saturday night www.ardencyrue.com . Our friends Nate and Cindi went with us to dinner and then the show. A lot of our common friends came to the show not the least of which was Adam’s girlfriend – Myra who one of our…especially my very good friends who recently moved to Council Bluffs. So I was very excited to see her again for the second weekend in a row! The show was great and a lot of fun. We rounded the night out at The Red Monk next door and did a little celebrating for Cindi’s birthday on Sunday.

March 21st -23rd

It had been a busy week of preparing for our Patty’s day party. We really only have one big get-together a year and we choose to do it in honor of St. Patrick’s Day.
Again we were blessed with a gorgeous day – St. Patrick must have been smiling on us for making such a big deal out of him;) We had people inside and outside, upstairs and downstairs. We had a great turn out throughout the whole afternoon and evening and had a great variety of fun friends to catch up and celebrate with :) The dogs also had someone to play with/annoy about every second of the day (which by the way resulted in an exceptionally relaxing and quiet Sunday:) .

I had taken the Monday after the party off so since she was on Spring break, one my very favorite friends Hamos and Owen came to town to hang out. Owen is getting so big and such a sweet boy! We had fun at the zoo and though it was a little weak not quite being in season. After that we took Owen to the carousel at the mall (which he wasn’t too sure about), had some lunch and then played in the play area. I got to catch up with Hamos a little among all the playing so it was great!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Steve and I both decided to take the day of St. Patrick’s Day off, and we couldn’t have picked a better day! It was gorgeous outside! We got up in the morning and headed to the Royal Mile downtown for some green eggs and ham with Gully and Trent. We liked it so much we stayed until lunch…..ok – I won’t continue on with the Dr. Seuss theme since I am no good at it….and then headed to El Bait Shop for lunch.

We spent the rest of the day outside on the patio and deck enjoying the day and smoking some ribs in the smoker. We eventually got Tim and Nicolle to join us and we tapped Steve’s Irish Red beer and had trouble stopping, but we had to save it for the party on Saturday.
