What an absolutely wonderful weekend we had! Friday started off with some amazing ladies that I have come to absolutely love! These women I affectionately call the Delta Chi wives. All of our husbands were in the Delta Chi fraternity in college together. I of course was not around for the college days- probably a good thing :) but I have been lucky enough to join this wonderful group of friends. We went to Monte Carlo in the North Loop neighborhood for dinner- delish! I love this restaurant- a really fun place, great location, and very tasty food! After dinner, we ladies went to a fabulous bar right around the corner with the nicest bar tenders ever!

Again I need to remember to take pictures more often!
Then on Saturday Ryan and I ran to the gym and I had a training session with Danielle. I should introduce this wonderful lady to you as she and I have become good friends over the last year. Ryan and I joined AnyTime Fitness in Mound- best gym ever!- and I decided to try one of those free personal training sessions. I called Danielle and ever since March 2011, I've been hooked to her workouts. She's been a really good motivator and teacher for me. It's been really fun to get in shape again- still some work to go but I've got some good goals going right now- and it's been even more fun to make new friends in Mound. We were sad that Danielle and her husband Mike moved out of our neighborhood a few weeks ago but we hope they can buy a house back in the neighborhood soon!
Okay moving on- so then I had to figure out what to do with myself and Ryan for a few hours until Ryan's SURPRISE party! We didn't do much of anything but the anticipation just about killed me! I've been planning this party since the end of April. I give Ryan such a hard time about being 30 in one year so I thought it would be perfect to throw him a 29th surprise party and hope he never would suspect it! I wasn't sure if it would still be a secret or if Ryan knew but I was dying to know and couldn't wait to see all of our friends and family who were waiting for us on the party boat!

LOVE YOU HUSBAND! HAPPY 29th!
From the boat we went to dinner at Maynard's but didn't stay long as it was so hot out! We ended the night at William's in uptown playing pool and darts and drinking cold beer!
And on Sunday we were slow to get going but eventually went kayaking on Lake Minnetonka in the morning. Then later in the afternoon we went and saw our old high school diving coach, Mike sing at TGIFridays with our friends Dustin and Liz. Dustin and Liz are the ones we are going to Europe with later this year! We are all beyond excited about that trip.

The girls and the boys... Europe will be interesting!
The Squires... aren't they adorable!
The boat was so much fun! Thank you for including us!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso...can I be considered a Delta Chi wife? Even thought I didn't technically marry a DX? :)
