Fun with Amber!

Amber got in around 5:00 Friday evening. It was so great to see her and catch up after so many years! And although it had been over 3 years since we had seen each other, as soon as she got in the car, it was like I just saw her yesterday! And then of course, she told me I had to let go of hugging her so long b/c I was blocking traffic at the airport. haha :) Quick background...Amber and I met at A&M. She was overassigned to our dorm room our first year at A&M. So we were roommates for about 3 weeks. Then, with her as a journalism major and me having a PR minor, we had a couple of classes together and the rest is history. :)

Saturday, we took Amber to Sever's Corn Maze and Fall Festival! It is the largest corn maze in the U.S. and in addition to the maze, they had a hay bale maze, petting zoo with really neat animals, camel rides with the roaring camel (he sounded like a dinosaur), little jazz band, and were temped with lots of yummy fair food that was certainly not on our Weight Watchers diet. :) We did good in the maze. Well we did good if Michael led by the map. Amber and I led our trio in a few circles when we led. :)

That afternoon, Amber and I went for a car ride for some sightseeing of the Twin Cities. The tour turned out to be a bit longer than planned. It wasn't entirely my fault. If Mpls would make roads that made sense then I wouldn't have to get lost for 45 minutes. ;) Anyways, we found a really neat area in St. Paul that I had never seen before. We headed over to Cargill and after a few minutes of convincing Amber the geese on the lawn wouldn't get her, she got to see the pretty grounds. :) Then that night we went out to dinner and enjoyed just talking and laughing together.

We wrapped up Sunday with a little bit of shopping and then it was time to head back to the airport. We are so glad Amber was able to come and had such a wonderful time seeing her! I miss you Amb!
