The Last Two Weeks!

Where do the weeks go? It seems that they just fly by! I need a break from grading, so I've decided to capitalize on this break time to update everyone on our comings and goings.

Lets, see...last weekend we went to the brand new Nickel City with Cindy and Clark. It was SUPER busy but we had a really good time. Andrew and I hit the jackpot a few times on some games so we won more tickets than  normal for us. We ended up getting a pretty awesome ball and some safari animals to grow. Cindy and Clark cashed their tickets in for some bling for cindy's finger and a ton of lemonheads for clark. After Nickelcity we all went back to my place and played some Raving Rabbids t.v. party. For more information about this crazy game, take a look at this video....

On Saturday Andrew went snowboarding and I went to work. After both we got all spiffed up to go to the temple. We needed food so we went on a quest (and quite the quest it was) to find some suitable sustenance before our session. We first tried Brick Oven (packed), then Pizza Pie Cafe (packed), then the Macaroni Grill (packed), we were just about to go get some subway when we decided to try this place called Shoots. It had no wait and a menu that we both could find something that we liked. IT WAS AMAZING! We both were really surprised at how much we enjoyed ourselves and just the dining experience. The food was great, the atmosphere was calming, and the company was the BEST! After we were sufficiently full we went to the temple and did a 8:00 session. It was great. It was just a good experience to have a "Temple Date Night" with each other.

On Sunday we went to church and hunkered down for the night by watching the Hockey Gold Medal game. I finished putting stamps on the wedding invitations (I learned my lesson from the Super Bowl and didn't force Andrew to help). We were sad that USA lost but felt that they put up a really good fight.

This past week we have just been running errands, getting wedding stuff taken care of, and trying to keep up with work/school!

This Friday Andrew took me out to the Macaroni Grill and we had yummy Italian food (our favorite cuisine). After food, we were going to go to Comedy Sports but they were all sold out. Luckily there were other activities for us to go to in downtown Provo. We went to a art gallery to look at their wares and then found a event called "Bowls for Humanity" that benefited the Provo Food Bank. I thought it was a pretty ingenious concept. Basicallly what you do is go buy a pottery bowl that ranged from $1-20 (all money went to the Provo Food Bank) and included in that purchase was a bowl of soup to enjoy for your contribution to the charity.

I picked out a cute little bowl that Andrew bought for me. I think it will serve as a great food-prep tool to sit next to the stove someday... We had already eaten so we didn't get any soup but it was nice to help out the charity a bit. More information found here...

On Saturday I went glasses shopping with my friend Mark while Andrew was snowboarding. Afterwards Andrew and I went to watch a movie at one of my professor's house for a class that I am in. It was quite interesteing. If you have a few hours in your house and a high-speed internet connection check out Darkon on Hulu movies. It's an interesting documentary...

Finally on Sunday we went to church and hung out with our friends. It was fun to just sit around and play some games before the week began

That brings us back to Monday and back to the grind. Good luck during the week all of our friends! Look forward to St. Patrick's day and don't get pinched! Buy your green garb early!
