Our busy week is winding down. We are now sitting with Emily, Ryan, Hattie and Nicole's parents, George and Michelle. We are excited to be here safe after the treacherous drive from Minneapolis this morning.
Our evening last night turned out to be a great time. We started with happy hour at the Lounge at the W Hotel with my brother Ryan and his new wife Kari. They were married yesterday at a private ceremony at the courthouse. Then we had dinner at Manny's last night, which never disappoints. It was a great time and we were very happy for them as they begin their lives together. They left for Mexico where they will honeymoon for the week in Riviera Maya. They will renew their vows and take wedding pictures there, but to avoid a lot of red tape to get married in another country they had a ceremony here before they left. After dinner we went to Prohibition for a night cap. The Wards (Ryan and Kari) turned in early as they had to be up for their early a.m. flight. Nicole and I made our way to the Rock Bottom Brewery for my company Christmas Party. We spent an hour or so there mingling with coworkers. It was the 1st time we have seen our friend Sue Knott since she became pregnant. She looked so happy and healthy and we are very happy for the Knott's as they expect their 1st baby in April.
Nicole and I turned in early (midnight). My wife gets tired early in her old age, I wasn't ready to leave but she usually gets her way so we left. We stayed downtown and were up early this morning and on the road to Detroit Lakes. My braces are tight and we are in for the night. They have about 4 fresh inches of snow here and it is very pretty.
We'll get up tomorrow morning and have a nice breakfast and then take Hattie sledding. Then we'll be on the road for Hudson to get home in time for the big game, Vikings vs. Saints at 5:40.
Enjoy the weekend and Go Vikings!
Congratulations to Ryan and Kari Ward. May your lives together be long and forever joyful. We love you both!
