weekend warriors

So the past two weekends Mike and I have decided to spend a total of 20+ hours in the car together...that's right...over twenty hours in a tiny little space together. All in all it went very well. Last weekend we headed up north to my family's cabin...pretty much rocked out on 4-wheelers and beer. It was pretty awesome. One down side was there was like 14 people up there; not quite as quiet/relaxing as I had imagined but totally enjoyable. This past weekend we hit Iowa City in an homage to summer time fun and had halloween fun. In a suprise move Iowa City was pretty great. It's not that I didn't think Iowa City would be fun, but you know, I didn't really think it would be that fun. I completely thought hanging out with Sam would be awesome - I just was really suprised by the city itself. The ability to walk pretty much everywhere (except La Reina) was great. Highlights...in no particular order... -Meeting Sam's parents...pretty much awesome people who explain why sam is who he is. -Checking out the Full Kit and watching sam play dress up -walking through campus with sam's parents pre-game...iowa fans are insane -getting amazing mexican food and weird mexican candy with cutty, sam and mike -sleeping on the most amazingly comfortable futon of all time with a space heater -having the most epic halloween posse of anyone...Britney, K-Fed, Jesse Federline and the paparazzi -finding a squirrel baby at goodwill and claiming he was Sean Preston in a halloween costume...only after Sam tried to convince me to cut off it's head and sew it to a different body...(see photos below) -visiting the pet adoption store...they do good things there...and the puppies and kitties are so cute
