Home Cookin'
We spent two days in Iowa and one in Milwaukee, so a very offbeat week. There were no home cooked meals this week. Except we hosted a Superbowl party and I made magic cookie bars and Tim made cheesy goo salsa - plus many other snacks were served!
On Saturday we hosted Game Night with Tim's family and I made magic cookie bars again, Pizza Dip, weinie roll-ups, BLT dip and other snacks. So what we've lacked in "family dinners" we made up for with all the party hosting!
Social Butterflies
We have gone Social Butterfly crazy!!!!
Sunday - Superbowl Party
We had several people over for the game: Billy/Jenn, Guido/Sarah, Garry/Jacqui, Ellen, Anthony and Brad. We had tons of food. People were rotating in and out of a game of "Ship, Captain, Crew" for the entirety of the Superbowl game!
Iowa
We drove to Cedar Rapids, IA on Tuesday night after work for Zach's funeral (Josh's brother). We stayed in a Microtel hotel with Chelsea and Nick. It was a terrible drive in the big storm, a very sad day of course - but we did actually have some fun. We had to stay an extra night b/c of all the snow, so while that was awful, it gave us more time to hang out with Chelsea, Nick, Josh & Tina. We joked around a lot and created/overused some catch phrases such as "milk, milk, lemonade", "that's what she said", and "Ri Ron't RIKE Remonade" as a response to pretty much anything!
Monica's following the Louis C.K. show in Milwaukee
We went to Milwaukee on Friday night to see comedian Louis C.K. at the Pabst Theatre. Afterwards we picked Katie up and went to Monica's bar for a couple drinks. We shot the shit and had a good time.
Family Game Night
We had Tim's mom, John & boys, Eileen/Larry, Mike/Sue and Uncle Ed. Again, tons of food. We played the 80's & 90's game as usual.
Aww...That's Nice
So this isn't very romantic - but it was nice that Tim really wanted to go to Zach's funeral. Even though Tim & Josh were friends way back in the day, and then reunited in the past couple years, I still think of Josh as more my friend than Tim's b/c he's in my "group." But it's nice to see and know how good of a friend Tim is. So it was an "awww" moment for both of us to make that trip to be there for Josh & Tina.
20-Second T.O.
We had a couple quick spats on our way to/from Iowa. I was overly frustrated by the weather and drive and road conditions. I was going off bitching about it all and Tim told me to calm down or something so I couldn't help but snap. He just didn't want me to have a meltdown on the drive, so wanted me to take it easy, but b/c of my level of frustration, I was just defensive that of course I had every right to go off!

We appreciate you both being there for Zach's funeral. It really meant a lot to Josh, especially. Even though Tim and Josh were friends so long ago and then recently, I know he still thinks of Tim as one of his closest friends. I guess we are all one big "friends mix" now!
Yea. It was nice to see Josh smile and have some fun, even though we could tell at times he would still get really sad. His family seems really fun, but all four of us were glad to be there for both of you as sort of "outsiders" to give you a little bit of a break from all the crazy emotions of the day!
well, it definately worked! Having you guys there was a nice break from all of the intensity. Like I said before, Josh is really sad right now, but getting him out and just talking or whatever seems to help alot. Thanks again, you guys are awesome!! Also, it's nice to have someone that can relate to the situation, like what you experienced with your dad. Just having someone who understands is a huge help.
You guys are so sweet :) I like it!!
In other news, what is Ship Captain Crew????
Katie -you'll have to ask Tim what Ship Captain Crew is. when they started playing this Dice game I literally thought it was the same you see, um, african-americans playing in the alley during movies?
omg weird! Maybe it's that dice game where if you roll two 1's, it's "tits" but if you roll two 5's it's "tits in the window"? Was this comment inappropriate?
niki in the window!
