Fun times!

Michael and I were both off work this weekend (which doesn't happen as often as I would like), and we had a great time. Michael's sister, Almond, and her family came into town for a Rush concert. We hung out together eating, talking, and playing a really cool board game called Puerto Rico. It was tons of fun. We hung out with their boys on Saturday night while Almond and Paul went to the Rush concert. We took the boys to see Harry Potter in 3D on the IMAX. They loved it. On Sunday, Gabe came over and we did some celebrating since he got a teaching job. I am so happy for him. I think this is the beginning of great things for him. We also made a trip to Costco this weekend. I know that shouldn't be eventful enough to write about in my blog, but it really is. We always go there with a short list and we end up leaving with half the store. They just have such great deals and really cool stuff. Anyway, all in all, it was a fabulous weekend.

What I have to look forward to this week is my PhD orientation tomorrow afternoon. I am hoping to meet all my co students and get some great information about this program. Also, my 10 year high school reunion is this weekend. We are not going to the reunion, but some great friends of mine from high school are coming into town and we are going to have our own party. I am sure it will be a blast.

Last night, Michael and I played this game that Almond and Paul gave us. It is called Odin's Raven. It was so much fun. I think it was especially fun since I won both times. :) Well, on that uplifting note, I am going to sign off.
