I cant believe that we have been married for 2 weeks now. Feels like it just happened. Time has just been flying by lately and I dont know if its good or bad. August has been low key so far. Hope and I spent a few days up at Boji, then we have hung around Carroll the past 2 weekends. Been trying to fill up the calendar with ISU sporting events plus all the weddings we still are attending. The next 2 1/2 months are going to be a wild time. Up next on the agenda for me is Cory Wiederin's bachelor party this coming weekend. Plans are to play golf at Briarwood in Ankeny Saturday morning, then ICubs baseball game that night, and then follow TDub around downtown Des Moines since he is such a socialite there. The party got moved from Kansas City to Des Moines due to a few of the guys not being able to make it, but it works out great cuz now I can attending the ISU Athletic Dept equipment sale in Ames on Sunday, Aug 22. Always need more Cyclones gear.
Next week includes one of the most important days of the year to my wife - her birthday (Aug 27). We have planned to leave Carroll on Friday and head to Des Moines or Ames to do some shopping and have lunch at some place fun. We will be meeting up with a bunch of our friends for dinner in Ames that night, then I am sure PHall will make sure we end the night at SIPS (which is fine by me of course). Also that wkend I will be playing golf with a long time friend Danny Petersen, which is always a great time. Then that night we will be attending Tyler & Renee's wedding in Ames - I have been looking forward to this for awhile, should be a great time.
Now for the event everyone is looking forward to - Sept 2nd, Jack Trice, Ames, ISU vs Northern Illinois - College football is almost here. Hope and I will be ordering our season tickets soon. I think its going to be a great season, and great to spend more time in Ames. I will make sure to post after each game.
This weekend an old friend, but a good friend of mine (Nate Ward) came to visit. We played golf at the Carroll Country Club on Saturday. Our group consist of Nate, myself, TDub, Mark Huegerich and Nick Knute. We had 2 different money matches going on. A skins match between Nick, Nate and I then a 5pt match putting Nick & Mark VS TDub & I. Nick cleaned house on the back 9 to take the skins match, but TDub and I held on to 22 pt victory. I should have took the individual honors with a 79, but Nick had 78 on the scorecard (he didnt count hitting a ball out of bounds), Nate shot 82, TDub fired a 98 and Mark had a 102. It was a great start to the weekend. There were many great shots between our group. TDub dialing in a PW from 100 yrds out on a par 5 and sticking it to 4 ft (yes he did make the birdie). Mark chipping in from 20 yrds off the green for his lone birdie of the day. I about jarred one from 120 out and did get a photo of it.
Once again we would like to thank everyone for all of their help the past few weeks. We are still waiting to get the professional pictures back, but I promise to upload them ASAP.
Looking forward to tailgating at Jack Trice in a few weeks, and getting back to Cyclone nation!!
Brad
