Weekend Update

I really hate the weekends. Until this whole DSL thing gets worked out, I have no access to internet from Friday-Sunday. Yikes. All those blogs I miss out on, or I end up being the 15th person to comment- hate it.

These were our small achievements/random pieces of information you really don't care about:
1. We got the bulk of our pictures hung which really cleared out a lot of space.

2. We got the rest of our apartment moved and unpacked. Yippee

3. We went to a dinner for Adam's work. Unfortunately we happened to sit at the table with the rest of the ladies/guys that started the residency program with Adam. Out of Control. They were so loud and obnoxious and the ring leader- Adam. Seriously. I was totally shocked. He is usually the responsible one in the group.

4. We also attended another work related party on Saturday night. It was really fun and I was able to talk to several of the other wives. The residents in Adam's department are for the most part kidless, so it was nice to actually sit down with one of the other spouses and talk about kid stuff and whatnot. While we were chatting, Adam and Lulu went out with the other girls' husband and child and played in the backyard. They were so proud when they brought in the skins of two cicadas (sp) Gross.

5. For whatever reason this ended up being a weekend full of Adam's coworkers (shocking, since we haven't seen most of them since last November). We also went to an art show for one of the spouses of Adam's classmate. He is this amazing artist and has some really nice pieces. He and his wife went on a vacation to St. George, Utah and he ended up painting several beautiful landscapes of the canyons. The funny part about the art show-- it as in a tattoo parlor. I giggled when I walked in, because I just kept thinking- we have a baby in a tattoo parlor. If I had the money I would have bought one of his pieces.

6.We invited a new couple over for dinner and had a wonderful time. Although the meal wasn't quite as spectacular as I would have liked, it was fun to get to know them a little better. Lulu was a pill (no nap), but we just gave her the space she needed.

7. My new couch was delivered on Saturday and it is dreamy. I can't wait to get the pillow fabric to my mother in law. I'll post pictures tonight. I hope!

8. I had to go to this shower for a girlfriend. In all the moving mess I misplaced the adorable invitation and had no idea the specifics. I called and got general directions, but told my girlfriend I would find it using my trusty mapsco. Trusty is no longer what I call it. Evidently the place the shower was held, was not in existence 4 years ago when I bought the thing. I drove around for about 20 minutes and finally called to get directions from the soon to be dad. He laughed at me, but was very accomodating. I was about 45 minutes late. I was really mortified.

9. Lulu has really been stuttering lately and it is driving me crazy. I know I need to let her grown out of it, but I want to correct her everytime.

10. I'm so excited it is Monday so I can read all the new blogs.
