October 8-14:
Randy & Kara got into Dunkerton early Thursday (the 8th) morning. Eric left from Illinois to come to Iowa and got to Dunkerton and then headed to the OP for a local bachelor party for Joe. Oliver and I hung out at my parents house with a few extras and played cards and hung out. Friday, we decorated at the Electric Park for the reception and then I went and got a manicure and a pedicure with the bridal party. That evening was the rehearsal followed by dinner.
Saturday was the wedding. It was a chilly day (okay, let's face it- cold day), but there was no rain or snow. It was a beautiful wedding, reception, and dance and everyone had a wonderful time. Unfortunately, I don't have too many pictures from this day, but plan to lean on some family members to get a few more.
Sunday Joe and Renee opened gifts before getting ready to head out on their honeymoon. Eric, myself, and Oliver headed back home. We hit a bit of a snag when it became dark and we learned our headlights, brake lights, and dash lights went off every time we hit the brakes. The matter took a turn for the worse when we stopped at a gas station to check and make sure and we learned if the brake was held too long, the whole car would shut down. So... our weekend was extended and we spent the night in a hotel 1.5 hours from our house and ordered pizza. Luckily the gas station we stopped at was right next to a hotel. We had the car towed to a local pontiac dealership and in the morning they said the battery had a weak charge. After a new battery, we were on our way home and to our house by about 1:00. We were happy to be home and get unpacked and ready to start the rest of the week.
Oliver did some painting for Halloween. He also made handprint spiders :)
