Special Visitors

So this summer Tony and I headed out to a fellow co-workers house. They had been having problems with a woodchuck under their neighbors shed and they asked if Tony might come out and try to catch the thing. Well the evening turned out to be a really fun night. We ended up having a fire, eating pizza and drinking a few beers. We had a great time and laughed our butts off discussing this and that. Than all of the sudden Tony asks me if I'm ready to leave. I'm like no, it's only 8 o'clock. Well a half hour goes by and I can tell he's getting very impatient and I couldn't figure out why because we were having such a great time. So I finally give in and say we can go, and he hands me the keys and tells me he'll meet me at the truck. So I knew something had be up. And like any girl hopes for, I'm thinking he's planned a romantic night. Well once we get home and I falled to see any flowers and he heads to the couch and opens up the paper I knew that couldn't be it.

Now I'm just waiting to figure out what the hell was going on. I only had to wait until 9 when I heard someone outside say something like, "How they hell am I supposed to know, dumbass." Than I guessed it. Our two great friends Loretta and Michael drove all the way from Kansas to come and visit us for the weekend.

From what I hear the drive sucked, but if anyone has spent more than two hours in a car with Michael Heighert, they know what I'm talking about. Loretta had to spend 8 hours with him :)

Once they got all their stuff in the house we headed out to Torge's (Austin "Hottest" Night Club) and had a couple of beers and a few laughs and some dancing. Michael was very disappointed everyone was doing the Cotton-Eye-Joe wrong, so we had to go out and try to show them how; it didn't work.

Than of course Michael was hungry so we head to Burger King and he proceeds to purchase $17 off of the value menu. More food than all of us could eat, let alone 1 person.

After sleeping in on Saturday, Tony and I took them out to the Tendermaid. This place is really cool. It's like stepping into an old 50s soda shop, not to mention they have WONDERFUL shakes! After that we headed to the Famous SPAM Museum, where there are loads of fun to be had by all :) No, the Spam museum is pretty neat and it has tons of information about the history of Hormel and than of course SPAM. It's corney but it's also fun, especially for kids and the young at heart. Not to mention it is one of the top 5 tourist desinations in the State of Minnesota.

Later that night we stayed in, had supper and played the awesome farming game. Which is a game I will never win but I try.

Sunday it was time to say goodbye. Tony and I both appreciate Loretta and Michael coming all the way to visit us. It was a fun weekend and it means alot to us to know we have such great friends in our lives. We love you both very much and we can't wait until we can see eachother again, which hopefully will be very soon!
