The Set-up

A few months ago I got a phone call from my aunt MEM.  She had a funny story to tell me about my other aunt really wanting to set me up with a coworker of hers.  We laughed about it because this aunt NEVER sets people up and really none of my family has ever tried to get involved in my personal life.  It was all in good fun as we figured this guy must be pretty great if it prompted my aunt to want to set me up.

So imagine my surprise when I get a text message from said aunt while we were spending out last night in Chicago.  Basically, she wanted me to meet with him while I was up in Milwaukee visiting.  Of course, he only had one night since he was going out of town.  The situation just got funnier and funnier as it turned out to be a group outing with my aunts, sisters and hopefully this guy and a friend or two.

Lauren picked a bar pretty close to Miller Park, since he was already at the baseball game.... a bar that happened to be having Ladies Night last night.  So my aunts and sisters and I started having a few drinks while we waited to see if he was going to show up.

That hour and a half of sitting at the bar with my aunts and sisters was one of the funniest nights I've had in a long time.  It's been a really long time (really, really long time) since my sisters and I have been able to just sit down and hang out with both aunts together.  It was a lot of fun.  Then Lauren's friend showed up.. followed later by they mystery man and his roommate.  

He was cute and nice.  Given the little conversation I really did have with him it was hard to say much else other than that.  Also, considering that I don't live here....  who knows.  I wouldn't be opposed to hanging out with him again another time I'm in town, but we'll see.

I truly appreciate that my aunt thought about me, and it was really great to spend some time out with them and have a good time.  I don't go out very often at home, both because of location and lack of interest... so that made it worth it.  

We are going to the Milwaukee Zoo today, so hopefully, I'll get a few great pictures with Kayla at the zoo.
