Trip to Iowa

We are back and settled in from our latest trip to Iowa. We went back to celebrate my grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary. We left work early on Thursday to get to the airport in time to figure out our flight was delayed. Then when we did get to Omaha, it took forever to get our bags (but at least we got them- right Tiff?). Then came the long wait to get a rental car but we did get a Toyota Prius which was awesome! We drove to the fair and met the family there for a day of great food and curious smells. After as much as we could handle, we grabbed a quick bite to eat (that wasn't fried on a stick) and headed to Brenda's house. Saturday morning we all went to the grandparent's house where my sister threw me a surprise bridal shower with my grandma, mom, aunts, cousins, and nieces that weren't able to make it to the Colorado shower. It was great! I had a really good time and won the games!!! We spent all day Saturday at their house, eating, hanging out, and taking pictures.
We had to leave on Sunday but we were able to meet with my friend Steph and I got to meet her new baby boy, Carson. After lunch, we headed to Omaha only to learn that our flight was delayed (which was good because we were running late- this one I will admit was my fault) until 8:00ish. We decided we didn't have enough time to stop in Council Bluffs and headed straight to the airport. After we turned in our rental car (using only 1 gallon of gas from Des Moines to Omaha- $30 total for the entire trip!), we got in line to check in for our flight and found out it was delayed until 10:35. We were annoyed that we already turned in the car so we couldn't really leave. The only good point of being stuck in Omaha was that we did get to meet Ken Shamrock (awesome MMA fighter). Cory introduced himself and shook his hand. We didn't get a picture though- we were a little nervous because he has a reputation of being not the nicest guy and he was also stuck in Omaha. Somewhere between the time we went to sit at the gate and 10:30 when our flight was supposed to leave, it got pushed back to 11:30ish. We made it home eventually and our belongings made it safely. What a weekend!!!
The wedding is now less than 16 full days away! Cory's bachelor party is this weekend and I am going use this time to practice what I want to do with my hair. We are just excited for the day to hurry up and get here. Of course the week in Vegas will be awesome! We can't wait to get to see everyone again and catch up with those we haven't seen in a while.
