The weekend’s almost gone….

admin April 10th, 2005

It’s been a pretty good weekend for me…nothing unlike the usual though. Friday I ended up staying at work until 5:45 (nearly 2 hours longer than I’d hoped for). I had a student and a family on campus for a visit, so most of my day was taken up by that. I thought I’d get home decent time, but then I realized that I had recieved a bazillion e-mails that day too, and I really needed to respond to them. So yeah..got home late, but I guess it was worth it. Jared had to work on a project with his Core 401 group, so I ran to Wal-Mart to get a few random things. Picked up some cool end tables to go with our new park benches on our porch. I also got some cool candles to put on the table. We’re totally ready for outside gatherings. Got home and Jared and I watched “Oh Brother Where Art Thou.” It was actually really good! I’d heard a lot of mixed reviews, so I didn’t know what to expect. Definitely very remniscent of Homer’s Odessey.
Saturday I slept in while Jared went to class. I talked to my mom for like an hour, which is always fun. I miss having her around! Jared and I worked on putting our benches together and met a few of our new neighbors. It was soooo nice to have a yard to hang out in yesterday. That’s something we didn’t have at the old apartment, so it’s great to have it now. After a day of work, we showered up and headed to Ponderosa (just like all the locals!). We devoured steaks and other tasty buffet items and finally rolled ourselves our the door and back home. We rested for another hour at home and then headed off to see a movie. We watched “Fever Pitch” and it was adorable! Lots of sappy girl stuff for me and lots of baseball craziness for Jared. Perfect date movie!
Today we went to early church and then Sunday School. We had a quick lunch of BLT’s and chips…and now I’m working on laundry while Jared watches the Cub’s game. It was a good weekend. I really miss having more friends around here though. Greenville’s a great place to live, but I really feel like we need to get out more often. I talked with my good buddy Karyn on Saturday…and gosh, I wish I had more of my girlfriends down this way. (Yes…Nicole…I read your blog from this weekend and I feel the exact same way….I miss having everyone around!) So yeah…move to Greenville and be our friend…do it! :-)
