A baseball game to Cirque de Soleil

This week was definitely full! Sunday afternoon I enjoyed a baseball game with my dad, we beat the Pirates 9-0! That evening I went to college/career group at the Bradford's house and ended up buying dinner for everyone. It was good though- chili dogs!

Monday my dad and I went to the mall to look at wedding bands for Quinn- no luck, but Andy and Tena were at work (Eyemaster's) so my dad ended up getting a new (and much needed) pair of reading glasses. We also ate lunch with Andy, Kim, and the kids. That night Ashley and I went over to Tena's and watched "The Departed" - the ending made me SO angry...

Tuesday I found myself in Cake Heaven (aka: ABC Cakes) with Rae picking out things for my wedding cake! I'm excited for her vision... it sounds amazing. =) After getting the grand tour of the new XA House, Rae, Carly, Sam, and I enjoyed some grub at Toby Keith's. We've all agreed we need to go back for the live music/dancing night before Rae and I leave the state!

Wednesday proved to be entertaining... went back to my childhood days at Stapley Pool. Kim, Andy, and the kids enjoyed two hours of fun in the sun. Elli was thoroughly entertained by the in-pool playground, while Zeke much preferred the warmer water of the lap pool. After our swimming adventure, we came back to my house for an amazing roast dinner (thank you mom!), I felt bad though because Storm (being Storm) terrified the kids with his shark-boy face... ugh.



















Thursday morning I had a meeting with my old boss (prior to my internship) for a different job... blog design! Exciting. Her ideas are really great, family centered, and what we need on the internet rather than all the trash that exists now. After my meeting, I headed over to North Phoenix to meet with JD for pre-marital counseling, fun times. Then that evening I met up with Rae and her parents treated us to Margarita-ville and Cirque de Soleil's Saltimbanco... I thought it was amazing!

Friday I finally found a wedding band I liked for Quinn... since they no longer make the one he had picked out. Good thing with the store I bought it from- if he absolutely does not like it, we can exchange it for one he does. That night Ashley, her mom, and I went to see "The Ugly Truth." It was hilarious- but definitely lived up to its name, very crude.

Today I got to enjoy an relaxing afternoon with someone I've known since I was 3 or 4yrs old... Mrs. Hansen, thanks for the quesadillas and marriage conversations, it's always nice to get the perspective from someone who has been married for a year and a half! I also helped Mrs. Krahn with her husbands surprise party by making milk/white chocolate dipped oreo's... they were a hit. =)

I wonder what the coming week will bring?
