Happy Valentines Day

Valentine's Day



I hope everybody had a good day for Valentines Day weekend! Friday night Kurt and I went to the Funny Bone because we got free tickets. It was fun, but the opening act was funnier than the headliner. Then afterwards we went out to eat.

Valentines Day, Kurt woke up early and went bike riding with his nephew and their friend. They go ride on the gravel around various towns. When he got back, we rested for a little bit, then got ready for our Valentine's Day Luncheon. He wanted to go to this restaraunt called Green Briar, but they weren't open, so we drove over to HuHots (Mongolian Grill, you must try it if you are ever in DSM), well HuHots had a LONG wait, so we went over to Best Buy for a little bit. I suggested we go to the Olive Garden. They have pretty good food. As we drove in the parking lot, there were people waiting outside. It seems like everybody had the lunch idea like we did. Kurt had another restaraunt in mind, and he took me to Biaggi's, which is a very nice Italian restaurant. We got in right away. The service and food was really good. I put it on my "favorites" list. We spent some quality time afterwards palying games. In the evening, Kyle and Julie invited us to come over for supper and a movie. We ordered pizza from Cheese Castle and watched "Step Brothers." We ended our night down on the south side hanging out w/ our friend Matt and going over to Southport.

BRR 2009

What a wonderful February weekend we all had. Can you believe we are having 50+ degree weather? Kurt and I had a busy Saturday. We participated the the BRR Ride (Bike Ride to Rippey). This year was my FIRST year of doing it, and I coudln't have picked a better time for my first time with the beautiful weather. The ride is 24 miles roundtrip and it takes place no matter what the weather is. I rode with the 2 Julies and Kurt rode with his nephew and friends. They rode their bikes on gravel to Perry, while us girls brought the vehicles.

My new cycling shoes. First time wearing them outside beyond the indoor trainer.
All 9 Yards women's team and some extra people (I'm in the back).
Everywhere you look, you're going to see bicycles.
Here I am cycling down the road.
Kurt and I in Rippey.
Well, I made it there...to Rippey that is and back to Perry (24 miles). I only managed to fall from my bike once. It was a pretty stupid mistake because I'm so used to having my feet free, I totally forgot that my feet didn't move and down I went. It hurt a little bit and I have a minor sprain in my wrists, but my pride was hurt the most, but now I'm over and I can actually laugh about it.
