GREAT WEEKEND!

We had an EXCELLENT weekend with friends and shopping and lounging.

Friday night: Once Reef and I arrived at the Embassy Suites it was nearly time for Happy Hour, so we had a few drinks and then headed over to Borsheims at Regency Court for Berkshire-Hathaway's Cocktail party. It was CROWDED! Much to be expected though. We had a good time wading through gobs of people and waiting 15 minutes for a couple of beers. We hung out by Pottery Barn Kids (cute stuff, by the way) because Reef was entertained by the toys and things there!

We didn't stay too long because we were meeting Jen Mohlman and Pat & Lindsay (Wittstruck) Eisenmenger for supper. Along the way there Reef fell asleep so Rick and Cyndi headed back to the Embassy to put him down and eat by themselves. We had a good time eating, drinking and catching up and called it an early night because we all had things to do in the morning (HOW OLD ARE WE???)

Saturday: We got up and ate a fine breakfast at the hotel and then we headed down to the Quest center where many of Berkshire-Hathaway's companies had booths set up with their products to show and sell. Jared and I walked out of there with a couple pairs of Born shoes and Cyndi got a good deal on some gardening gloves!

Next we headed to Nebraska furniture mart (another of Warren Buffet's companies) so seek out some good deals. Of course we found some and we had a good time people watching as well.

Then we were off to the Fox & Hound for lunch. We stuffed ourselves and headed to Grandma Glennie's new place. It was beautiful, although GG (that's what we call her for Great Grandma) was having a tough time adjusting. Hopefully it's a quick transition for her and she starts enjoying her time!

Back to the hotel for some lounging and SWIMMING! Reef enjoyed the water, as did Rick, Jared and I. (pictures coming soon) We relaxed and then it was time for another cocktail hour! Lindsay came and joined us and then we all headed to her place to check out the landscaping her crew (Jen, Pat, Steph, Marc, Lucy and herself) got done that day. We also enjoyed some pizza and beer!

Sunday: This morning we had a great breakfast again and then Reef, Cyndi and I walked over to Cabella's (sp?) to see all the animals. We checked out around noon and then Jared, Reef and I headed over to Brent & Jenn's to go out to lunch. We ate at Charlston's (sp?) and had great food and conversation.

We met Jen & Lindsay at Oakview mall for a couple hours before Jen had to fly back home that evening. Finally, we were on our way back home after a Fun, long weekend in Omaha!
