It was the weekend before the Renal exam, but we had a Monday without required class - and I wasn't about to miss

Uncle Buck's Work Weekend!

  (Definitely check out Buck's Blog for LOTS more photos!!) This trip started off a bit rushed and interesting to say the least.  I arrived at the Pittsburgh airport ten minutes after my plane was boarding, and I was RUNNING through the airport to catch my plane to Cleveland.  It was wild!  Joel definitely had my back for that one.  Whewww, thanks bro.

I flew into Green Bay and was greeted by Lyssa of course - but this time, she was in my favorite MiniVan!  Whooot.  I seriously sprinted out of the airport in order to have every minute possible up north with family and friends.  Lyssa and I jammed to some country tunes on the way up to set the mood for the evening.  It was a little bit of an Eric Church night... just a Creepin'.

Friday night was a blast, and the next morning Lyssa's face matched her Packer sweatshirt.  Brilliant.  We spent some time getting ready and recharging our batteries at the Winsand camp with Alyssa as our host.  It was so much fun to be able to spend some time together in the afternoon.  Later we went back to Buck's camp - and were in awe of the progress the boys made!  It was outstanding!  The colors that Curty, Mom, Kate, and I

picked out a while ago

came together so nicely!

It was a bit brisk outside, and we even were graced with some snowflakes in the morning, which made the coffee taste even better.  The weekend was an absolute blast, and it was so neat to see so many of Joel's friends come up to the cabin to celebrate and help Joel carry out his projects to completion.  It is truly inspiring to be a part of it all.

Nothing like life long family friends!

After the weekend, I was spent and tired from all the running.  Dad and I went down to stop and visit with Grandma Marsh, which was a lot of fun!  Monday morning it was back to Pittsburgh!

Thank you to all who came up to Joel's cabin for the work weekend and for those who couldn't be there - we definitely had a toast to you all!  Soon we'll have to plan another weekend to get everyone together!  It was just too much fun not to repeat!
