Every year Greg's work holds a pretty snazzy holiday party. This year it was at the Nicollet Island Inn. I had a lot of fun...it was the first time in over a year where I got to actually have multiple adult beverages. The theme was casino night and I rocked at the roulette table. We had a sweet lady named Joyce working the wheel when Lou Nanne (Greg works with him) comes up next to me at the table and plays a few chips. I gave him some advice to play 34 but he didn't listen to me and proceeded to lose. After he left, Joyce asks really timidly "Is that who I think it is?" Imagine a sweet lady in her late 60's blushing. We all laughed and she told us about how she had the hugest crush on him during his younger days when he was a hockey phenom. One of Greg's co-workers got Joyce his autograph signed with the word 'love' and she almost fainted. She couldn't stop talking about it...it was so cute. It made me think about the days back in high school I spent lusting after Mike Modano. If I had maybe one more beer in me I probably would've asked Lou to call him for me...I'm sure he has his number :-)
Grandma S. came and babysat for us while we went out and had a little holiday fun!

Hey woman! It's Stephanie. She's so cute! LOL! I can't believe you're a mom! I'm still not growing up! Hahahaha! Miss you! Texas is awesome!
Hi Steph! Miss you too. I was in Dallas last week but it was just a day in, day out type of trip filled with a bunch of meetings. I would have called if I had more time. We'll have to get together when I'm in Dallas in March. I'll have a lot more time then.
