Friday afternoon I watched my cousin Cassie run in the high school state track meet. She ran in 3 relays and did an awesome job! I'm very proud of her and Eric for qualifying for State this year! That's awesome guys!
Getting ready to start 
Running first for the 4x4 relayWe started out Friday night celebrating my birthday at the Iowa Cubs game. Aaron's sister Hannah and her fiance Jeremy came to visit along with a few of our friends. It was a blast, and we won!
Go Cubs Go!Saturday I headed to Cedar Falls with 3 friends. The guys stayed here and went to Embassy Suites in Des Moines for the evening.
The girls started with the bridal shower at Diamond Dave's. My mom and Sofie worked so hard and did such an awesome job! The theme was a luau and the place looked wonderful! Everyone commented on the beautiful decorating they did!

My bridesmaidsThen the ladies headed to a hotel where we reserved a suite. Sofie planned a wonderful "wine and cheese" hour at the hotel and we played games and got to know everyone. After that, we went go carting. We learned that two of my bridesmaids are terrible drivers, one of them my sister! Trying to give my soon to be mother-in-law whiplash! Then out to eat and out on the town! We had such a blast, and heard the guys had fun too!

With Sara and TammyAfter winding down a little Sunday with some more friends who stayed in town, I got up this morning and ran the Iowa Cubs 3rd Annual 5 Mile Fun Run!!!!! I ran it in 55 minutes flat! I ran it two years ago in just under 59:00. I was pretty happy!
Aaron and I are headed to one last Iowa Cubs game to finish up our Memorial Day weekend. Should be a fun time!
So we survived yet another busy weekend and had so much fun with our friends and family! Can't wait to do it again June 13 and add even more of you to the mix!
