I spent this weekend in Minneapolis visiting family and friends. One of the main reasons for the trip was to see my cousin who is in the Marines and is headed to Afghanistan in a couple of weeks. I hope and pray that he will be safe and that the (stupid) war will be over soon. I also wanted to my other cousin, Cody's, new condo (very nice!) I had coffee with an old friend from highschool, went shopping with my sister and step mom (bought some super cute shoes) and ate. A lot. Art worked pretty much all weekend so it wasn't as a relaxing two days as it was for me.

On a side note, my step dad (who was on a motorcycle trip through Arkansas with his brother) was in a motorcycle accident this weekend. He's pretty banged up but not so much that he couldn't take pictures of his trip in the ambulance. Those of you who know him will understand how really, really funny that is. But he should be up and about soon enough.
