What We've Been Doing

We've both been pretty busy with school and work and extra-curricular stuff lately. I had my last day of classes last Thursday and my first final was the next day on Friday. I have 3 more finals left and will finish them this Thursday at 5:30. It'll be a busy week studying for them and making my lesson plans for Monday when I actually start teaching. Chris has been working as usual. He still drives about 2 hours north to his sites. They should be finishing up soon and then he'll be doing office work. It has been great experience for him. He also recently joined a Men's Soccer League which he loves! He is playing goalie now and then will probably move out of the net later on in the season. They have games once a week and sometimes practices too. So between that and playing basketball every Thrusday he's pretty tied up during the week. On Friday we went out on a date with just the two of us. We have been doing so much with friends lately that we hadn't been on a date for a long time. We went to Earls for dinner. I got calm chowder soup (mom's is better) and a cajun chedder chicken sandwhich which was ever so tasty. Chris got chicken quesidilla's that were also tasty. We went to Baskin Robins for dessert. Chris had a fruit smoothie and I got Rocky Road ice cream. We did some shopping for the wedding (I'm sure that was Chris' favorite part of the date) and then watched Transformers (that was the more 'man' part of the date). On Saturday we over to some friends for dinner and games. We had pork sandwhiches, ceaser salad, chips and salsa, and cupcakes. We played Monopoly and I won!! Yesterday we watched Star Wars 4,5, and 6. Believe it or not, but Chris had never seen them all before, so this was a necessity. I made ham and pineapple pizza and it was a nice and relaxing today. Oh, and we still have no snow!!
