Whoa! What a weekend. Good and bad things to blog about.
It all started last Friday...we headed up to Nebraska. I was driving the first half and we were noticing the car making some grinding noises. It worried us a bit, but we couldn't pin point where the noise was coming from so we ignored it for a while. We got to see my grandpa Friday night. I haven't seen him since my sisters wedding so it was good to see him again.
Saturday morning we got up early and headed to the Zoo in Omaha. (A fantastic zoo, go if you ever get the chance) We heard the grinding noises again, so Matt ended up going to get it fixed instead of joining us there :(. With $500 smackaroos and a new wheel bearing, we were good as new! Here is Corinne on a vine swing in the jungle, and various pictures of our day!
On Saturday, my Uncle John got my grandpa out of the care home to join us for dinner. Isn't he just the cutest little old man you have ever seen? He has lived an incredible life... 7 kids, years in the military, years as a missionary in Africa, years as a doctor. He has seen it all. His memory is still very sharp and he has amazing stories.
My uncle John and I share the same passion for cooking. He smoked an incredible brisket for dinner and for dessert- creme brulee. I actually had never had it before. It was awesome! I hope Corinne picks up the same love for cooking. She told John- "I love to cook, can I help you cook?" and stood by him faithfully while he fired the desserts.
And when we came home, Matt decided to wash the car. Our outside spigot was stuck a little bit....Matt forced it and we went downstairs later to find it flooded. A pipe burst and left a huge mess! So now we are in the process of having everything dried, filing insurance claims, and cleaning up the mess!
