Weekend in Louisville-Chicago

We just finished a whirl wind weekend that included a quick trip to Louisville to see LB run in the NAIA Track and Field National Championships, moving out of our apartment while the Indy 500 parade was going by in front of our building, and a couple days in Chicago for a lovely wedding. We finished it up by getting up really early this morning to start our first day of commuting a few hours each day. I am so glad that the week has started so I can get some rest.

Friday Night after class and work Kate and I jumped on Interstate 65 and made our way down South to Louisville Kentucky to meet up with Douglas and Fiona and watch LB run. Laura had run the 10000 the night before and had horribly blistered feet. She had the 5000 to run this time and Fiona told her not to run, her coach told her not to run, her dad told her to do what she wanted and that, as she always does, she did. She ran a courageous race on bloody feet but ultimately finished last in her heat. We had a great time with Douglas and Fiona and ended up getting home at a decent hour.

Saturday we were up bright and early to pick up a U-haul truck to get the last of the furniture from our house before the parade started. It was hard to get from one side of the town to the other but we got it done and I got to watch the parade while Kate worked. We left for Chicago once Kate got off work at 10 PM and arrived just after 1 AM.

Sunday I slept in while Kate went shopping with her sisters. We met up for some pinochle and food before the wedding. Kate's cousin Adam married Kelly in a short but sweet ceremony followed by a time of generous portions of the adult beverage kind. The meal was great, the free drinks even better and it was nice to be staying the hotel that the ceremony, and reception happened in. I snuck out a couple of times to watch the Miami-Detroit game.

Monday we made our way back to Indy and cleaned our apartment. We also grabbed the rest of the stuff that didn't go to storage and headed up to Tom and Kris's. That will be home for a while, until we find out more about the house.

Well there you have it, details you don't need about a weekend you don't care about. Ain't blogging great!
