Catch-Up

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

It has been a while since we have made a post and we have been told to update.  So here we are updating our blog.  We have loaded some pictures over time, but haven’t told anyone what was going on.  Over Memorial Day Weekend, we went down to Kansas City to see Gene, Marjean, Justin, and Courtney.  It was a blast.  Matt was still on crutches, but Justin and Courtney helped push him around on a wheel chair when we went to a mall.  Justin had just previously come up to Lincoln to visit and helped take Matt around.  It was a good time to be visiting with family.  Jim and Patty came out for Traci’s birthday for a few days.  They hadn’t been down to Kansas City in a long time, so we took them down and that is where Traci celebrated her birthday.  It was a low key celebration, but it was a good time.  We ate bbq in true Kansas City fashion for Traci’s birthday, had a great red velvet cake and just enjoyed Traci while she had some time off.  Traci had to work on the 4th of July so Matt was going solo for activities.  Matt went out to Seward, where he works, because it is called the 4th of July City of Nebraska.  It is a small town celebration but on a larger scale (meaning it caters to larger numbers of people).  The shuttle from the parking areas to the events were large tractors pulling a people carrier.  Matt went to Seward with a couple of law school buddies who were also temporarily wifeless.  When he returned from Seward, Matt attended a bbq at some local friends house.  It was good times.  Matthew and Traci rearranged their living room giving a more open feeling.  Other than these things, everything is just chill with the Mellor’s.  We are looking forward to heading to Kansas City again at the end of the month.  We hope everything is going well with you!  Keep in touch!!
