Weekend in Minneapolis

Steve & AJ warming up before the first game.

Good weekend! We went to Minneapolis for Steve's hurling tournament, and although they didn't win, they didn't do so bad either. The bad news is that Steve got hurt. He further injured the shoulder where he already had a torn rotator cuff, so now he pretty much can't lift anything with his left arm and is in constant pain. He's going into the doctor next week and hopefully they can fix him up with a non-invasive surgery.

The team

Sunday afternoon we headed over to Eau Claire to hang out with some of my family. It was so great to see my grandparents from Montana. Unfortunately, I forgot to take any pics! It was also good to see my Aunt, Uncle and Cousin. We've seen them three time now since we've lived in Wisconsin. I haven't even seen them that many times in the previous 15 years, so it's been good to reconnect.

It was fun to get away, but even more fun to come home! We've been traveling a lot lately, so I'm happy that we have no plans to leave town for awhile now.

Maternity leave has begun! It all started yesterday with me getting up at 4:30. I just couldn't sleep anymore because I was thinking of everything I needed to do. Steve packed up the rest of Jessica's things last night, and we'll be delivering it all to her new apartment this evening, so that means I can get started on getting the baby's room ready! Yea! I can't say I'm excited about the process, but I will be so happy once we can get all of the crap out of our room and the baby's room so we can have a little space to live. Since I get up every hour upon the hour to pee in the night, tripping over the boxes in our room while I'm half asleep is getting a little bit old.

Ironically, I was really sad to leave my job on Friday. I knew that I liked my job, but I guess I didn't realize how attached I had become to so many of my clients. I will miss them, along with my coworkers a lot! I can't wait to go back and visit though! Assuming I don't have the baby by then, I will be heading back for a 100th birthday party for one of my clients in 2 weeks.

That's all for now, I gotta get to work on cleaning up the basement.
