Well last weekend we were invited to a wedding in Springfield, IL. Not exactly a quiet weekend but it was a short drive to Springfield and the wedding was not until 3 pm on Saturday.
Friday night we headed to my parents house. They were nice enough to watch samantha Saturday and Sunday. That is right people...we were sans one toddler for this wedding...look out!
Michelle and I thought it would be a good idea to pack a cooler and bring snacks for after the reception died down. That ended up being a great idea.
All in all, it was a great time except for the church's AC not working too well. The night ended with some euchre back in the room.
Samantha also had a great time with Nana and Papa. So it was a win-win weekend.
Now that this wedding is done, the next wedding is Bryan and Mary's. Holy crap did time fly on that! 3 weekends away. That is going to be a GREAT time!

Yeah Friday!
For this Friday, I am going to list some random thoughts.
1. How is it possible that Samantha is the most tan person in our family???? I need to play outside during the day. Outside breaks - we all need them!
2. My softball team is struggling offensively. I have that same issue. I need to stop pressing and let the ball come to me. I think batting cages would be a good idea.
3. Wedding this weekend is going to be a lot of fun! Ross and Erin getting married. Spending time with the Wilken family.
4. Usually when I am hanging out with Barry the night does not end before 4 am. Uh oh. Saturday could be a looooooooooong day.
5. I am having the hardest time keeping up with a regular workout schedule. No motivation. Need to figure out some outside workouts.
6. Is it just me or has this summer so far been really hot? Last night's softball game was brutal.
7. Nice work Elway on getting 2nd place in the golf tournament last week!
8. Fubar went to Dodger stadium a few days ago and brought me back a James Loney bobblehead. It is a new addition to my desk!
9. My birthday is quickly approaching. When can I start canceling these?
10. Have a great weekend!

Top 5 - Websites!
Top 5 is back! Today I am doing my top 5 favorite websites to go to. A couple guidelines to think about while creating your list. Your email account does not count (ie gmail). I am lumping all the blogs I read into one. I will do a top 5 some day of my blogs but for today, they count as one.
1. My blogs - Really, this was a no brainer since I gave myself the out. I have a google reader to keep up with all my blogs. Thank you google reader!
2. Espn.com - To be honest, this is really for sportsguy. I listen to his podcasts and read his articles diligently. If he was not there, I do not think it would be in the top 5.
3. Twitter - Yes twitter. I like twitter way more than facebook. The only thing really drawing me to facebook is Vinny's (fake gambling).
4. WSJ online - What can I say? I like me some wall street journal.
5. Google.com - This sounds weird but google is my go to for looking up anything. I am there a lot and they never disappoint.
I think metromix.com would have been high as well. It is a great resource for Chicago.
Happy hump day!

Weekends at home
Lets just say I have been busy at work and thus my lack of blogs. My fault. Now that wireless is setup at home, I will be better about blogging.
The last two weekends have been spent at home. It was a nice change of pace consider before that I was in three different cities in four weeks. Our weekends at home are usually restful but that does not mean we do not do anything.
Usually, when we are home on the summer weekends our plans usually involve some of the following:
Friday nights
Maybe going to the gym.
Maybe hitting a beer garden for dinner (ie Village Tap)
Maybe dinner and a movie at home
Saturday
Possible Street Festival (they are always going on)
Dinner with friends (either out or someone's house)
Target runs by Michelle/Video games for me
R&R around the house
Going to the gym
Laying out by pool
Maybe a random walk around our hood
Sunday
Breakfast out (either Flat top or Lincoln Restaurant)
R&R around the house
Running errands
Maybe gym time
Possible dinner plans
possible movie
Maybe a random walk around our hood
Those are our weekends these days at home. Nothing crazy. I should also put in there - taking care of a sick toddler. Seems like lately Samantha has been sick a lot. Last weekend was no different. She seems finally over it though and is back at daycare starting today.
On a sidenote, our new tv came and wireless is running. We are back connected to the world. Easily the best feature on our tv is skype. If someone tries to connect to us, it pops up and all we have to do is hit select and we are skyping. Crazy!
Have a good Tuesday.
