"My candle burns at both ends, it may not last the night;
but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends - it gives a lovely light."
-Edna St. Vincent Millay
My crazy, wild, 5-states-in-4-days weekend started Thursday night with a red-eye flight into Sioux Falls where Dad picked me up first thing Friday morning. It was followed with breakfast at Perkins - yum! Then a bunch of little naps until we left for Iowa. (I don't remember a whole lot in there...)
On Sat. we had (in chronological order) Amanda's Bridal shower on the Kuehl side, Grandma Kuehl's Birthday, Grandpa Kuehl's Birthday and their 70th Anniversary celebration. That night, Grandma Wimmer's birthday. Phew!
Sunday was church, then Amanda's Bridal shower that I hosted for her. After that I could actually relax a bit!
Monday, we hit the road for the trip home. Mom and Dad drove me to Omaha, NE to the airport that afternoon and I headed back to Washington. They, on the other hand, were leaving for Hawaii first thing the following morning - lucky ducks!
Anyway, here are some photos from my wild weekend in the mid-west!

P.S. I missed the heat, but not the humidity! Really 110 degrees!! It's been in the low 80s here and 50s over night. When I got home and went to bed I was wearing flannel pj pants and a long sleeve shirt!
