Last weekend I went to MN, and I apologize if I missed you, but it was mainly for one reason - to help my best friend Lo start her search for a wedding dress! It was a lot of fun, and we found a few gorgeous dresses in our search on Friday. I can't post them here, of course (her fiance might see them). Dr G was kind enough to pick me up from the airport and we did plenty of shopping (tax free, a joy for us both) at the Mall of America.
We did swing by Bethel on Saturday, since all three of us are graduates, and explored the changes. It was amazing to see the new dorm (yes, it's been a while) and the new Brushaber Center (or whatever it's going to be called) going up. I am jealous those new students get such a nice Dining Center - it would be amazing! Also, I found out my old job misses me so much that they had to build a robot to replace me... seriously! (ok, so maybe I exaggerate...)
The rest of the time was spent reminising, chatting, giving advice, chilling, and playing Settlers of Cattan. I miss both of them lots and it was amazing to spend some quality time with them! Now, we just have to figure out what do to next time...

I had a lot of fun, too. I am so glad that you could come! It really helped to be able to shop with friends who have experience. Thank you so much!

Lovely entry deario!
Love, Mom
It's true - next time it will be involving a big poofy dress - maybe even one we've already seen!
It's true, IT needs me... :-) as does every other job I've ever had...
