A Day of Golfing
Last Saturday was a perfect day weather-wise so Ross and I decided to go golfing. Neither one of us golf, but we thought this would be a great way to spend a beautiful, 70-degree, sunny afternoon. There is an "easy" par-3 golf course on the north side of Springfield that we thought would be a good way for us to break into this game.
We started golfing around 3pm and were done about 4:30. All in all we had a great time. Ross even shot par on one of the holes!

Weekend Travels - Part 2
Part 2 of our Labor Day Weekend Travels....
Saturday we left Larry and Wanda's around 1pm and headed over to DSW shoe store before hitting the road to Omaha. I love this shoe store and since we do not have one in Springfield I try to go to the Kansas City store whenever we are there. There are literally 100s and 100s of shoes - all ready to be taken home! Lucky for me I found a new pair of black dress shoes for the winter!
We arrived at Gramma and Grampa Ward's house around 5pm and then headed out for dinner shortly thereafter. They took us to a place called Jericho's that claims to have the best prime rib in Omaha. And they do have the best prime rib in Omaha! We had a nice, early dinner and then back to the house so Grampa and Ross could go to the neighbor's house to watch the Nebraska football game. (Go Big Red!) Gramma and I had a nice time sitting in the family room chatting the night away. She told me several stories about her childhood, her family and how her and Grampa met and married. I certainly had an enjoyable time!
And again, it was a bit weird staying in the same room with a boy at my grandparents house! I have stayed at their house countless times in the past 31 years but never with a boy! And if we thought we had it bad in the Wiseman's queen-size bed well we had another one coming to us - Gramma and Grampa have a full-size bed in the guest room we slept in! Ross and I were definitely not lacking in cuddle time over the weekend!
Sunday morning we went to Mass with my grandparents. My Grampa is Catholic and they have both been going to a Catholic church for about a year now. This was quite an experience for Ross and I - we had never been to a Catholic mass before. It was so interesting, all the tradition and protocol that was followed. After lunch we went back to the house for lunch. The weather was perfect so we sat outside on the front lawn and visited with my aunt and cousins a little before Ross and I headed home at 3pm. We got home around 8:45 and thoroughly enjoyed sleeping in our king-size bed that night! Monday we worked around the house, did a little shopping and then fixed dinner for my mom and dad later that night. All in all a great long weekend!

Weekend Travels - Part 1
Ross and I decided to take a mini-vacation over Labor Day weekend. We both worked a 1/2 day on Friday and then headed up to Kansas City to visit his parents. We arrived around 4 and relaxed a bit before dinner. After dinner we all headed out to Kauffman Stadium to take in a Royals baseball game. The Royals were winning until about the 7th inning and ended up losing in 2 extra innings. But that night was Friday Fireworks night at Kauffman so we enjoyed a 15-minute fireworks show after the game. It was a beautiful night - clear skies and a slight breeze with temps maybe in the upper 50s/lowers 60s.
This was the first time Ross and I stayed at his parent's house since we've been married. It was fun, but yet weird in a way, us both staying in the room I stayed in by myself before we were married. And this is the first time Ross and I slept in a queen-size bed together. We bought a king-size bed just before we were married so we were a bit worried about or sleeping that night - if we would crowd each other or feel like we had no room. But we found that we slept just fine. :)
Saturday morning Ross' brother and his family came over for breakfast. Wanda fixed bacon, eggs and pancakes and a great fruit spread. We visited for a couple of hours and then Ross and I headed up to Omaha to visit my grandparents.
