V-Day recap, Demolition Ball, & that Freaky French Guy

Holy moly! Hard to believe that February is nearly gone! Seriously, last day tomorrow. Its just crazy. It seems like time is flying but Christmas and New Year's seem like they were forever ago. That also means that this post is a little behind schedule. I don't want to brag, that is not my intent here. I just thought Garrett did such a good job for Valentine's Day that I just have to share. He got me a basket of booze. Haha! Yes, booze. Each bottle is for a very specific occasion, so I can't just drink them all as I see fit.  I can't remember them all at this moment, but here are a few: First Holiday Away from Home (Crown Valley Missouri Wine), First House Party in Las Vegas (He thought it was too funny b/c its called House Wine) Post-First Shift at New Hospital Job (Smirnoff Vodka), First Baby (Grape Juice and inevitably this will be in Las Vegas), Second Anniversary, and a few more other than that. He even came up with poems on the little heart labels. He did a fabulous job!! I just wanted to share! LOL!

So anyway, this past weekend was pretty crazy for us and at the same time, it was like the calm before the storm as this marked one of the last weekends in St. Louis that had absolutely no plans ahead of time. Friday night, we went to the Fish Fry at my church with my family. Oh so delicious! Nothing beats this fish fry. If you think you have been to a better one in the St. Louis area, you are dead wrong. They do everything. Hand cut, hand bread, fry! No fake fish here! So ready for this Friday night so we can get more! Lol! Afterwards, we met up with Ted & Sarah, and Ryan & Rachael to play laser tag and demolition ball. Laser tag was awesome, and I totally kicked butt and won! #1 of 9 people! That's right punks!! Don't mess with this! After rubbing it in everyone's faces, yes I had to especially with Garrett the hunter, Ted who shoots for fun, and the ex-Army guy...seriously?! How did I win?! We then played demolition ball. Basically, its bumper cars with those scoop baskets and you drive around and try and get the ball in the basketball net.  Its really fun and really painful the next day from all the bumping. If that wasn't enough fun for one weekend, the next day we went sledding on the ice/snow. This was a dangerous idea! Ted hurt his back and Garrett had to drive the car to the bottom of the hill so we could get him out. Did I mention that was his second time down? Yeah not good. Everyone else fared much better, but by the end my tailbone was hurting from all the bouncing and flying from the sled. 

Then we headed back to the Von Kramp Haus and spent the afternoon with the family. We had a margarita at lunch since we missed National Margarita Day on Friday (Although I thought Cinco de Drinko I mean Mayo was like National Margarita Day!) Later in the evening, we went to Llewellyn's Pub that just opened out by my parents house. We had a good time there. That is until the waitress brought my dad the littlest beer glass ever and then it was even more fun as he immediately turned into the Freaky French Guy. (See video below of Steve Martin and also think Oh ho ho in a French accent) Still don't think that even covers how funny it was. So then the guys spent the rest of the night making comments with similar accents. Good times with my family. Crazies!

I have no idea what this one was about. Seriously, ladies and gentlemen, my father! I wish I could remember but I just can't.

The rest of the weekend, Garrett and I spent time together working on various projects. We are slowly starting to get together all of the things that we need to do and getting organized for the big move. Details flying all over the place right now for that but hopefully in the next week or so we get them all settled. I also have two bridal showers to work on as well as the bachelorette party for Lara, which I'm so pumped for b/c she finally gave the go ahead and plan away to me! Heck Yes! And there's Rachel's baby shower in April as well as the Relay Marathon. And packing and finding a house! Madness I tell you! But in the best way!!! 

My plans are to enjoy the next two weekends are they really are the calm before the storm of every weekend between now and the wedding being full!!! Ready.Set.Go!

Until Next Time!

Lots of Love!!
