We are back after a wonderful wedding weekend in Cedar Rapids celebrating Drew and Tessa's marriage.
Saturday - we walked with Ryan and Erin to Coffee Republic and then back to hotel to get dressed. Mark drove Bob and Linda's car to the wedding - what a lovely Mass in beautiful St. Patrick's downtown. Back to hotel to visit before we boarded the bus to take us to the Epic Event Center (about 20 minutes away in very rural Iowa surrounded by corn/bean fields).
What a beautiful place - we enjoyed drinks and appetizers before dinner; wedding party introductions, dinner and dancing. Took the shuttle back to hotel around 10 and off to dreamland with happy memories.

Sunday - we had breakfast on the 16th floor of the Doubletree with Bob and Linda. Several from Brooke's family sat beside us. Packed up our stuff, said good bye to Bob and Linda and we left shortly after arriving back at KK at 2:20. It was very windy and we saw a big semi lying on its side along the interstate.
Brother Bob and Linda leaving for home today
So happy they could join us along with several from Mark's family + Annette's parents.
Zoom tonight started with 7 but Sharon lost internet - discussed the wedding, health issues (praying for Janet and Lydia both having surgery this week), nephew Tim's 50th birthday party yesterday, etc.....
Have a great week!
