Conover

This weekend was really good. Friday morning I left early and started to head up to Conover Wisc. Matt's parents have a cabin up there and Vicki and Matt invited some of us to go up for the weekend. My drive up took a little longer than expected. I stopped in Wausau to get gas and some food and decided to stop at the Chevy dealer. See, when I stopped in Rockford earlier, my parking brake light came on for no reason. So I checked the fluid level, added some in, and went along my merry little way. Driving around Wausau looking for a gas station, the brake pedal felt a little softer than usual and the parking brake light was still on...2 hours later, the diagnosis was simple. I was low on brake fluid...something the other dealer should have checked when I brought it in for an oil change 2 weeks ago...

I'm not going to go through the whole weekend piece by piece but here are some highlights:
-Some of the best food I've eaten in a long time, generously cooked by Vicki and Keith (I shredded cheese!!!)
-Laying on the floor doing lots of puzzles
-Making many a trip to the Energy Mart. I think I went 4 times in 5 hours on Friday...
-Shotgunning a beer for the first time and having Keith lick my face to get the beer off...a lil gross...not gonna lie...
-Sitting in the snow cave with Vicki and Dee for 2 hours just talking about life.
-Sitting in front of the fire for an hour talking with the girls while the boys cut down a tree for more firewood
-Almost making it to the lake on a kneeboard while sledding
-Holding hands and praying before each meal
-Being with people that I love and care so much about
-Laughing
-The quiet silence
-Holding hands and praying before we left to come home (which only took us 5 hrs thanks to the caravan-ing action)
-"Boxing-In" a guy who cut Dee off and needed to learn a lesson

I'm so glad that I have all of these people in my life. I don't know what I'd do without them. Thanks for a great weekend all!!!
