Funny Story - 1 of many

This morning was my baseline ultrasound (this is the 1st ultrasound which checks me out to ensure I am ready for IVF II)  resulting in 11 follicles in one side and 7 in the other......this doesn't mean much on what is to come but this is what the nurses recorded on my pretty lab chart so it must be of some value to the docs.   Tomorrow I get to start the shots and Matt said "How about for every shot you have to take, I take a shot of Jaegermeister?!"  My thoughts:  I would gladly take a needle shot in the belly over a shot of Jaegermeister - gross.

I have been reminiscing over funny stories of the past and I feel like so many parts of my life have included hilarious events that it would be a shame to forget them so I am going to record and share them with you.


Most recent event:  Kale & Maxyne's reception, June 2014
Location:  Kale's parents acreage in Red Wing, MN
Conditions:  Rain/Sun mixed with many drunken friends, awesome reggae music & best picnic food of the summer

For those of you who don't know Malchow (pronounced male - co), he is Matt's good friend from college and our roommate for the first four years of our marriage.  He is the opposite of dull and I am pretty sure he will be a recurring character you will see in future posts ( I could fill a decent size book with Malchow stories)  Here's a picture of Malchow on the left in usual form:

Well, Malchow now lives in Austin Texas and made the drive up for the big event.  Malchow gets really excited for these fun friend gatherings and usually says or does something memorable.  Although I left around 11-12 that night, I had the pleasure of Malchow's delightful & memorable hug goodbye.  

He said:

"I'm sorry I broke your railing"  This one had me almost on the floor in tears laughing....when Malchow lived with us about 6 years ago, he drunkenly stumbled down the stairs and only managed to stay partially upright at the saving grace of our railing that he nearly ripped out of the wall.  I guess an apology is never too late :)

"I love you guys, you and Toomey, you guys are almost as awesome as Joe & Johnna"  ....OMG, I was Lizzing at this point (Lizzing = laughing so hard you wiz your pants ~ courtesy of Liz Lemon)   This was the icing on the whole night and why I love Malchow so dearly.  He is honest, has no filter after an ounce of booze and his quotes live on forever.   To be clear, Joe & Johnna are pretty awesome & I look forward to the opportunity to let them know regularly that I hope we can be as awesome as they are some day :)

Until the next post, here is a quick vid of the band at the reception.  Enjoy!
