Kendall Ave Make-Over!

In trying to finish a deal for our house, we made quite a few runs down to Madison to get things situated.  One such run was the morning after my going away party at Jackson Point.  I woke up early as anticipated and flew down to BC to pick up Lyssa from her house.  I knew she wasn't feeling up to par quite yet, so I bribed her with a long john Curty had picked up from DQM.

We jumped in the tan mini-van and headed down to Madison just like the good-ole days.  We were rolling with the windows down, talking stupid and laughing so hard that I almost peed my pants on many occasions.  The best part on the way down however was stopping at McDonald's were we ordered some hangover remedies and some extra large sodas.  (Hi-C for Lyssa as always, and I tried out their lemonade)  We were greasy and nast as you would assume, and Lyssa was wearing her usual post-bash cut-off.  Well, apparently the high school boys disagreed and decided to give us their number on the back of a McD's receipt.  Hahah.  It was too good.  We jumped back in the mini, HWY 151 sound and rolled into Madison in style.

We arrived and Becca was ready to start moving her stuff to Paul's apartment.  I luckily remembered the keys and we got things rolling.  It was essential that I cleaned Paul's apartment before Becs moved in and had to live in the man-pee and stinky kitchen.  Bec's was in the transition apartment and we had her moved in, in no time.  It was a pretty impressive feat for us ladies.

In addition to moving Becca, I also had to find a way to clean the house so it was acceptable for the people who were trying to buy our house to move in.  We wanted to close, so I went down and cleaned every nook and cranny I could find!  Lyssa mowed the lawn and we started packing every last item from the house into the mini-van.

We of course had to celebrate our accomplishments so we went out to Cheeseburger's in Paradise and Curty treated us to a nice dinner for our help with the house.  We came back to Bec's new pad and got read to hit the town of Madison one last time.  It was a fun night, but the cheeseburger's meal was lodged in my stomach the whole night, making me uncomfortably full until the next morning!

The Pina Colada that stays with you for 2 days... ugh.

The next day we finished up odds and ends at the house and met Lindsi on State Street for lunch at the Sun Room Cafe.  It was a nice little treat before heading home to Seymour. Lyssa and I didn't know that we would accidentally turn the mini into a storm chaser, as we out ran the tornadoes, hail, and lightning storms that were sweeping Northeast Wisconsin!  We got to her place in BC just in time to run onto the porch for cover... it was classic.  We probably should have stopped, but we pushed through on HWY 41 just like the move Twister.  It was a blast!

We're going to miss you Kendall Ave!  It was an amazing few years and many more memories!
