Weekend Update

So with Steve hating his job and just stressed and not sleeping, we decided to get away for the weekend. No time frames, no plans. I got us a hotel room in Omaha for the weekend, my mom watched the girls and away we went Friday night after work.
Our friend Brandon works in Council Bluffs so we met up with him at Texas Roadhouse on our way into town and had dinner and some drinks with him and his friend Beth. Then we went out to some bars and just had a good time! We even closed down the bar...WHAT???
I might have had a little much to drink b/c this girl had a HEADACHE Saturday morning. We actually didn't wake up until 9:30 (thank you black out curtains!), I decided there was no way I was going to get up feeling like crap, so we both went back to sleep for a nap from about 10:30-12:30!


We actually slept like we used to back in the day, before kids, when we would sleep late and stay up late! It was ALMOST like we were 25 again! LOL! We got up and ready (very slowly on my part) and then walked to the Old Mattress Factory to watch the Iowa game. We got a booth, some food, beers and made ourselves at home for the next 4 hours! I told Steve my favorite part of the afternoon was watching all the other parents taking their kids to the bathroom! It was just nice not having little people to worry about, to keep entertained, to not have to take to the bathroom multiple times. Peaceful.
After the Iowa game, we changed and headed towards the Old Market to check out the shops and food situation. About 8 pm, we found Plank (nice seafood place)....which we highly recommend! We sat at the bar and ate, the bartenders were helpful and friendly, and the food was amazing!


Brandon and Beth eventually came and picked us up....you never know what will happen or where you will end up with Brandon driving! So , of course, my ass is tired, I don't really want to drink anymore and Brandon......Brandon takes us to the casino in Council Bluffs! He lost too much money there too quickly and we left within 15 minutes and went to two other bars near his house, then he took us to check out his house. We were finally on the rode back to our hotel at 1 am! Seriously? This girl can't stay out that late 2 nights in a row!


At least we were able to sleep in this morning too. This morning we got up and ready and headed home! The girls were excited to see us for about 5 minutes and then they were off playing with Boston and Mary! I stuck around my parents house for the Packer game and Steve headed up to check on work and do our grocery shopping.
We got home about 4, unpacked everything, did laundry. We did an early dinner, early baths and early bedtimes! It was a good, fun weekend that was much needed! Thanks mom, dad and Holly for watching and entertaining the girls for us!


We are excited for the short week but have a lot to do since we are hosting Thanksgiving on Thursday for my family!
