I came home this past Friday for the Memorial Day weekend and am having a fabulous time with my family and friends here in Yankton. It's been exactly three years since I was home and Briana was not... she was in St. Louis in the summer of 2010 with her FSAP buddies while I spend a lot of time at home after going to Denmark for a few weeks at the beginning of the summer.
Mom picked me up at the Sioux Falls on Friday, we went to the casino in Larchwood, IA (no we weren't big winners, sadly), and finally had a quick but super yummy dinner at Chae's in Vermillion. They were nice enough to serve us even at 8:50pm (ten minutes before they were set to close).
Yesterday (Saturday), Mom and I went to the Judi's Dance Studio recital. I hadn't been to a recital since my senior year in 2008! We had a great time just sitting in the balcony and watching :-) The dancers and tumblers did an absolutely wonderful job. Congrats to Rob and Timera on an awesome first recital! Mom and I then picked up Dad and headed to the Pancreatic Cancer (Pan Can) Pub Crawl that benefitted the Lori Groetken Foundation. It was great to see so many people coming together to share stories (and a few tears too) for such a great cause very close to my family's hearts.

| I promise-- they do love each other. |
I'm so pumped there's lettuce! And the family/dog thing sounds great, but that lettuce!
