Been Up To A Whole Lot Of Randomness

Sorry it’s been awhile!  We've been busy but nothing that I felt needed a dedicated blog post so I’ll just summarize what we've been up to.

A few weekends ago I was a bridesmaid in a wedding for a friend from high school.  The day started a little shaky with a big storm that moved thru but ended up being a gorgeous day just in time for photos.  It was a fun weekend; I love all things wedding but forgot how tiring they can be!  We are definitely happy for our friends Kelsey and Biff, they are quite the perfect match for each other, no doubting that!  Awesome wedding weekend overall!

What else have we been up to??  Well way back on Valentine’s Day this year, I had surprised Aaron with tickets to a Coldplay concert up in Minneapolis and that weekend finally rolled around!  We are HUGE Coldplay fans.  This was our 2^nd Coldplay concert; they seriously put on the BEST concerts, great time! 

Everyone was given these bracelets that light up during the concert, pretty sweet

They did this last time with the big beach balls, it's pretty cool

Confetti, big beach balls and good music really got the vibe going

Towards the end, the band came out into the crowd and preformed right next to us!

While up in Minneapolis we did an IKEA raid and scored some good stuff.  All I could think about all week leading up to our trip was eating at IKEA.  Their macaroni and cheese is out of this world!  It was so scrumptious, we returned the next day just to have lunch at IKEA again and I tried to refrain myself this time from ordering one of everything so I indulged in one heaping plate of mac and cheese.  Pretty much made my day.

It was a good weekend, just Aaron and I but short at the same time as we only stayed one night so that we wouldn’t have to board Charley for 2 nights.  I just have a hard time leaving her behind!

What else?  Well Aaron and I have been taking up spinning class again at our gym.  We found out one of our friends is an instructor and it’s quite the brutal spin class!  It’s good for us though to get back into this.  Aaron, myself and another friend are getting ready to start Crossfit in a week; we’ve committed to trying it out for a month.  Aaron  has talked us into doing the 5 am class… PUKE.  I’ll try it and see how it goes… I told him no promises that I’m going to make every class but I’ll give it my best shot.  

We also went down last weekend with some friends to Kansas City.  That weekend is kind of what we called our last summer hurrah.  The Country Club Plaza and The Power and Light District was a good way to wrap up the summer.

So what’s on the agenda coming up for us?  My nephew’s baptism, a Norah Jones concert, a special getaway is planned for our anniversary, a handful of weddings…so looking forward to what’s to come!  I’m actually getting the fall season bug, I think I’m ready for football season, bonfires, and cooler temps.  I’m not ready for winter though, but do think I’m getting the itch for pumpkin bars and crunchy leaves on the ground!
