The Eckerts had a weekend getaway in Grand Forks. Emmy had 4 hockey games. They won two and all were close games. Emmy had a couple more amazing goals. She got the puck right through the goalie's legs. One was a breakaway down the ice. She is such a fun player to watch. She and Robb needed to head to the rink early each game and so Bobby and I took those opportunities to head to Olive Garden for dinner. We ate the same things (butter noodles for him with a side of broiled shrimp, salad, breadsticks, glass of wine for me), we sat at the same exact booth and discovered a shared love of trivia. We laughed SO HARD while playing trivia together. We played a game where we gave each other clues. The person I was trying to get him to guess was Kanye West. I told him it was the person married to Kim Kardashian that was also a rapper. He yelled out, "Uber!" I told him Uber is a ride share! He explained that he meant Usher....still not the right person but it did make more sense. We just really enjoyed each other. Bobby also made sure to complete the suvey for our waitress adn provided a glowing review and recommendation each night. Emmy and I were shopping buddies as well. She told me she wanted a band T-shirt and found a NSync shirt on sale. I asked if she knew who that band was or what they sang. She told me she didn't but just wanted a band shirt. I sang the "Bye, bye, bye" song for her for a couple verses and then a few minutes later that exact song came on over the speaker system at the store. What a coincidence! What a story! Needless to say, she bought the shirt.
Grandma Launa and Grandpa Kelly were in town for the cattle sale and Bobby got to go with. The cows sold high and Grandpa and Grandma were generous enough to share the profits with their grandkids. College funds are growing!!
