Robert & Steve checking out the capitol
Another weekend bites the dust! It seems like they come and go so quickly. We had a house full this weekend, and it wasn't as stressful as I thought. We've had so many visitors come to Madison (many times in mass quantities) over the course of the last year that I'm starting to get the hang of hosting lots of guests. We now have an empty house (besides Dale & Jacqueline, but they're always there so they don't count cause they're family now) until Thursday when my mom comes.

It's hard to believe that pretty soon I'll have lived in Madison for a year. It just seems like yesterday that we were selling our house in St. Louis. The year has flown by so quickly and so much has changed. I've been forced out of my comfort zone in ways that I never thought possible, but I've learned a lot in the process. I'll save all the reflecting for another day though.

We're looking forward to showing my mom around Madison and I'm looking forward to two days off work! Yee haw! We don't have a whole lot on the agenda, but I'm sure our time will fill up quickly. Tim & Amanda are coming up to the Dells from St. Louis for the weekend, so on Monday we're going to all meet up in Milwaukee to go to the Brewers/Cardinals game. I'm so excited to see the Cardinals play. I may be a WI resident now, but I'm still a Cardinals fan. I'm also looking forward to tailgating, apparently the people in WI really get into it. I don't think I ever tailgated at any sporting event in St. Louis, so we're gonna head up a few hours early to see what all this hype is about!
