One Last Time

Mommy and Daddy left Tylee for the last time in a long time. Two weekends away from our girl is two weekends too many. I took last Friday off to compensate for being gone last Saturday and I took today off to compensate for being gone this Saturday. But I still hate leaving. The only good thing about leaving her is coming home. Our friends Mike and Jennifer, Curtis, Tj and I went to Lincoln for the football game. We won't talk about the actual game but the pre-game and post-game events were well worth the trip. I was so worried all week that the weather wouldn't cooperate but it was sunny and perfect. Well, perfect as long as you had on long johns, jeans, 5 shirts, a hat, and gloves. I stripped some layers at different points during the game only to put them back on and take them back off again depending on the wind and/or the sun.

Me and all 5 of my layers.

Tj and I go to at least one game every year and last year was the first time we'd ever left Tylee. After the game last year we were looking for somewhere to go and have a drink and we discovered this awesome bar. It was two stories with a balcony looking over the stage. They had a bull to ride and a really great band. We organized the trip this year to go the same weekend that the band was going to be at that bar. The drummer is Chris Ledoux's son and the name of the band is Dustin Evans and the Good Times. I don't think they are big time but they do play a lot in the Midwest. We've been hoping to go see them when they were in Manhattan but it just hasn't worked out. Within 5 minutes of them starting, I remembered why we loved them. The band itself is great but those country dancers in Lincoln, whew! I could watch them all night long. They just float across the dance floor. Most of them are older couples who have obviously has years of experience dancing together. Hopefully one day, Tj and I can dance like that. We have a long ways to go before we do...it doesn't matter though, we sure have fun trying!
