Married at work: Final Four 2008

I officially deserve the bad-blogger award. But hey, it's been busy and when I post, I POST! I don't want to leave my fellow readers with something that's not the absolute best I can do. So if it takes me a little longer, so be it.

A few weekends ago, Scott went to Illinois to watch the Final Four with his Uncle. They're making this a tradition, to watch it together every year. Next year they'll be coming up to Minnesota to enjoy the madness. Ahhh yes, it truly is madness! It's a great way for the guys to bond though so I have no problem with it.

I did not go to Illinois with Scott this time for a few reasons. One is because I wanted him to enjoy this time by himself with his family. I very much love his family and love going to Illinois but it's good for us to do our own thing once in a while especially since we are around each other so much. Also, I don't get very many opportunities to get together with some friends from college so I figured this would be a good time to do that. My friend, Stef came to visit me. We had a great time. We went to the comedy club here in town, Goonies and out to eat at Bilotti's. Then we went on a long walk Saturday and went shopping at the famous Gap :) She doesn't have one where she lives so she was looking forward to going there. Anyway, it was great to get together with her.

I must say that my time alone in the house was different. Maybe I'm a scaredy cat or something but I am not used to being alone. The first night was a little freaky, I didn't get much sleep. Gus kept getting up too which is what woke me up. My mom brought up a good point, I've never really lived alone! I went right from high school to college to living at home with my parents for the summer to married. After the first night alone I got a little more used to it and it wasn't as bad. I feel like such a wimp but I guess any major change is going to take some time to get used to. Laura came down with the kids and that was fun as always. Love my niece and nephew!

Scott had a great time. He enjoyed the time with his family and especially enjoyed taking his time with photography. Normally when I'm around I tend to not be as patient as he is so I'm more in a rush. He got to take his time and really appreciate what he was doing. Gives me a lesson to slow down a little! He took so many pictures and I've posted a lot of them here. He went around the town and took pictures of memorable places from his childhood, so to some of you they may not seem like pictures you'd care about but they mean something to him.
