we should be 60

Last week, my dad Eric pretty much surprised me and told me to go to Bowling Green! Yay!! He is on break for a week or so, and knew how much I have been missing Gretchen. So, Saturday, I packed a bag and headed to good ol' KY!!

You wouldn't believe the warm reception I received!!!
Paul was so excited to see me!!! Ha! So, we started out with what we do best...a self portrait...

and some SHOPPING! Gretchen had a few things on the agenda. Look for a cardigan for Easter, go to Victoria's Secret, and of course, we had to eat. We stopped in New York & Co and met our new BFF. I don't know what her name was...oops...but she was hi-larious!

She was bluntly honest with Gretchen on what looked good, and what didn't! We were cracking up!!

Okay, so there's something you need to know about Gretchen. She has NO CLUE where she is at any given time. She is very directionally challenged! {Love you!!} Victoria's Secret was holding something for her and we had to make our way back there. She swore that it was next to Macy's. I know I have only been to the BG mall TWICE, but I thought it was next to Penney's. She pretty much told me I was wrong and she was positive it was by Macy's.

Don't ever take her word for it! Proof positive. ;)

We did more shopping, tried on cute hats & sunglasses, and then wanted to go back and "rest" before dinner. Yes, we are in our 60's.

So, we got back to the homestead and did what any two bestie's do. Checked our Draw Something games.

And, thing #2 you should know about G. Drawing isn't a strong point for her. If you get a picture like this, she probably didn't do it! Ha! She handed the Ipad to Paul a lot and said, "Draw this..." Love them! :)

Oh, and we also got a twirling show from Hopie. ;)

Before we went to dinner, we asked Paul to take a good pic of us. Pshaw. Men are useless.

FINALLY.

Headed out for a fave....Mexican! Mmmmm. Oh, did I mention we went to dinner at 4:30? Yes, reason #2 that we should be in our 60's. (In my defense, it was 5:30 my time!)

After dinner, we settled in to watch the game. I really wanted U of L to win, but it was a great game!!! Gretchen was good to me. I wasn't feeling the greatest, so she loaded me up on cough drops and some hot chocolate. We ended up going to bed at 9:30. Reason #3....blah! ;)

We got up and went to church and then ate at RYAN'S after church. ROCK ON! I love me some Ryan's!!!

Then it was time for me to head back home. Sniff, sniff. One more good pic for the road! Thanks Paul for not complaining! ;)

Thanks, G, for a fun 24 hours! I love it that we can hang out, do a little of this and a little of that and still have a blast!
