Fall Photo Catch-up Post

Minnesota GameWe’re a bit behind on our photo updates, so here are a few albums that made it to the photo gallery that we forgot to tell you about. Though I bet all two of you who follow this site religiously already know about them. For the rest of you, here are the albums you missed.

Arizona Vacation
We took a trip back to Phoenix and Tucson at the end of September and beginning of October. It was good to see friends and family out in the desert again.

Kinnick Spirit Game
For the Iowa/Northwestern game a few weeks back, they did the striped black and gold sections again, as well as a cool card stunt before the game. We all held up cards to make a big red white and blue stars and stripes, as well as a black and gold ANF (America Needs Farmers) and Go Hawks design.

Homecoming 2011
Even though we got season tickets this year, we decided to participate in alumni band again. We marched the pre-game show, and gave our seats to my parents.

Minnesota Game
Jess and I traveled to Minneapolis last weekend to see an UGLY game between Iowa and Minnesota (we lost). But we did stay with some friends, and had a good time otherwise.

Extreme Office Makeover: Iowa Edition

Well, we liked it so much before, we decided to do it again. We performed another office (A.K.A. The Command Center) makeover with Elfa shelves. We started last Friday night by clearing out the room. It wasn’t that hard since we hadn’t really set the room up completely after our move-in. We taped (UGH!), and painted the room. This time around, we chose a bit darker color grey than last time (official name: Summit Grey). We had already worked with The Container store to design and build a desk/shelving plan, which the nice FedEx man delivered on Saturday morning. So after a little touch-up pain (hey, we’re not perfect!), we started installing the desk and shelves. It went a little faster this time since we’d done it before. But we still had our share of mess-ups (a few things were on backwards… oops!). So the past few days we’ve been unpacking the office boxes that have been sitting in the garage since our move, and getting things situated. You can see the before and after photos below, as well as the standard time lapse video. We’re really happy with the results… again!

Post-Christmas

Our holiday travels are complete (a lot easier than the last few years flying to and from the desert). We spent Christmas eve and morning in Atlantic with the Fiddelkes and then drove back to Iowa City on Christmas day to have Christmas part 2 with the Malotts. We had good food and good fun (and good presents) in both locales.
