12 Days of Birthday

I continued with my 12 Days of Birthday by going away for the weekend. We went up to Grand Rapids to spend the weekend and brought our friends along. (Well, I guess they brought us along since they drove!) We went to the RV show and our friends decided they're ready to upgrade to a motor home also. After the show, we went for drinks and out to listen to a band play 80s music. They were awesome! It was more like going to a concert than going out to a club - it was standing room only. This would have been nice to have known ahead of time as Kelly and I wore big, friggin' high heels and had to stand for 2 1/2 hours just waiting for the show to start. (Our shoes were pretty darn cute, though!) Finally, we couldn't take being on our feet anymore and walked (or more like limped) back to the hotel. We didn't know how much it had snowed while we were in the club until we started walking through the drifts - me with open-toed shoes. The bright side was that the snow helped to numb the pain. It was a great short getaway, but bittersweet as we weren't home to console Keaton during his break-up with his girlfriend. Aaron came to the rescue and spent the weekend with Keaton and his friends and took them to the Michigan basketball game on Saturday night. I guess hanging out with the guys, watching basketball and playing video games is one way to mend a broken heart.
