Twins Game!

I finally made it to Target Field for a Twins game. The weekend of the 16th Steve my parents and I headed to the cities for a Friday night game. It was a pretty chilly weekend and we didn't even think about bringing a blanket to the game! The Twins lost (no surprise) but it was still exciting to be there and they only lost by a run so it was a good game!

On our cities trip we went to IKEA and ended up spending 4 hours there ... holy crap I love that store. I need to bring my sister there for sure, she would love it!

We are lucky to have a big family and love that some of them live in the Cities. We didn't have to stay at a hotel either night there. On Friday night we stayed at Aunt Judy's (my mom's sister) and on Saturday we stayed at Aunt Angie's (Steve's Dad's sister). We had a great time it was nice to just to get away from home for a couple days!

We made a pit-stop at the lake on the way home...it was Beautiful!

It was harder than we thought to not tell people we were engaged so we told people before the weekend. On Wednesday we told Steve's family and on Thursday we went to Nome to tell my family.

The biggest response has been people telling us it was about time; and I'd have to say I agree :-) Once the word was out everything has been moving so fast; I want to get the planning done and enjoy as much as we can of our engagement because I can already tell it'll be over before we know it! We are hoping to get married sometime in fall of 2012 there are just some places we need to get finalized for the big day then we'll announce the date!

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend with this lovely fall weather. Steve and I hung out with the Froemke family today down at the River it was a great relaxing Labor Day. 'Captain' Ryan even gave us a ride up river on the new River Queen (pontoon) it was such a nice evening!
