off their arms

Since last Friday my days have been full of family, friends and fun! I will recap all my adventures in a brief update.

Katie, Jakes sister, visited me Friday afternoon and stayed the night in my little apartment! It was so great to have her at my place, I kept saying that it was so fun to have someone else around!

Saturday night I watched Lost in Translation with Paige and Luke. The movie is absolutely beautiful and I loved it.

Sunday my parents came up and we visited both my Grandma's, Adeline and Shirley. Played cards with Adeline, who is a spunky 91 years old. I locked my keys in my car and Grandma Shirley helped me out again (she has AAA; this is the second time I have locked my keys in my car...the first time I had hit the car in front of me and while getting out I locked the door with the car running).

Yesterday my Dad came up for dinner and Howard Pulley basketball. My aunts and uncles were at the game as well (the Howard Pulley tournament goes on all summer; teams consist of current, past, and future U of M players and other Minnesota boys who play with colleges around the country). My Dad and I like to sit in the front row, that way we are the closest to the players; we can actually see the sweat dripping off their arms.

Way cool basketball tourneys!

And I miss having grandma's. It's been since I was 12 and I REALLY miss them.

Sounds like a fun weekend!
