After getting a good night's sleep at Jenny's law school friend Alex's house, we hit the road in the trusty Acura (which I remembered how to drive). We made it to Iowa City with no problems and spent the first night celebrating being back by going to another of Jenny's law buddy's (Ashley) house and having a few brews.
The next day, Wednesday, Pattie Klein came to Iowa City to help Jenny and I pack up our stuff. She brought the new Infiniti SUV. It was so helpful! It would have taken all day and a million trips in our little cars. We did it in three trips. Jenny two trips and Cole one trip. After cleaning up a little bit we hit the road again for Des Moines to have some quality time with Charlie and Gusty and the rest of Jenny's family.
In Des Moines we hung out a little bit. We played with Charlie and Gusty, went out with Vanessa (Jenny's friend from high school) and her boyfriend Zach. We went out to these two awesome bars: High Life, a 1970s throwback bar with cheap food and cheap beer (ex. $3 burger with mac and cheese), and El Bait Shop which has over one hundred beers most of them on tap. It was way cool. Saturday Jenny and I went back to Iowa City to finish cleaning up. After starting to clean my room I realized that I overestimated how much of my room I had actually cleaned. I had actually quite a bit left. I picked up a few more boxes and packed some stuff up. I cleaned a bit and Jenny helped me after she finished her room. I ended up having to come back and finish up on Monday.
My roommate was left to finish the job. But since I purdy much was the only one that cleaned the apartment all year it wasn't my job to stick around until the last day. I got to believe that he wants the money for the deposit as much as I do. I'm out of the Lodge and looking forward to living with Jenny in our baller apartment.
Sunday was the Klein-Veiock pool party. We brought over some food and a few drinks along with swimwear. The first pool volleyball game was Klein vs. Veiock. It was a hard fought battle but the good guys lost. The next battle was Man vs. Woman. Point Man. We had another battle later in the day but the beer was starting to take hold. After getting out of the pool I enjoyed a little baked macaroni and cheese. It was purdy tasty. I'm all about mac and cheese.
Other than that Des Moines was fairly uneventful. We just got ready for an epic 2700+ mile roadtrip. A tale that will be in the telling shortly.
Peace out.
