iowa wedding

We have returned from Iowa!

Nate and Andrea are married and a great time was had by all, but we were sure exhausted when we returned home this afternoon. 

Quite the trip.

Ben and I left Milwaukee on Friday morning with only a 4.5 hour drive to make down to Iowa City.

However, that trip was lengthened slightly when we noticed a progressive rumbling/shaking developing in the car...turns out it was a flat tire 12 miles from Madison (45 minutes into the trip). 

Something must have pierced the side of the tire.

Ben handily put the spare on and we made our way to a tire shop in Madison. 

Luckily, we were back on the road an hour later. 

That could have been so much worse.

We spent Friday evening and Saturday morning wandering around Iowa City, a lovely college town. 

On Saturday afternoon we drove over to Nate's farm near the Kalona, IA area for the wedding.

It was a gorgeous August day for an outside wedding. 

Great food, dancing, and company.

Looks like that's the last extended trip that we'll be taking for a little while.
Time to refocus on this semester.
I am bracing myself for the amount of work ahead.

Here's the start of my supervision piece.
We'll see where it ends up.
