What a day!

Saturday, November 8, 2008

Awesome day today! Started out the morning at my grandpa's auction. Lots of memories there, for sure. I got a couple of old cameras and a newspaper from the day man walked on the moon for $6. We had to leave before they started the tools, so Shawn didn't get anything.

We went straight from the sale to Shawn's cousin's wedding in Red Wing, MN. We didn't make it for the wedding, just the reception, so we pretty much drove almost 300 miles round-trip to eat. Sigh. At least we got to see most of Shawn's family, which was nice.

The highlight of the reception was "watching" the Iowa vs. Penn State game on Chris's phone...and they won!! Talk about an upset - a 5-4 unranked Iowa team beats the undefeated #3 team in the country. So freaking awesome. Gary Dolphin had an awesome quote about getting the morons off the field when the crowd rushed on with :01 to go after the game-winning field goal, but I can't find the exact quote. It was funny, though.

ETA: "Get off the field! What are these morons thinking?" LOL

We gave Chris a ride back to his place after the reception and we got to see his new apartment. It's really nice. I'm a little jealous. LOL

That's 'bout all I know tonight. I need to go to bed, I'm exhausted.
