Weekend Recap!

Unfortunately it is already Sunday, which means its almost Monday, which means the weekend is pretty much over...(I think that is the "glass half empty" approach to Sundays).

Friday night was uneventful, but relaxing. We were invited to a friends for a "college-style" house party. It sounded fun, but by the time is was 9pm and time to drive a half-hour to get there, it didn't sound as appealing anymore. You just get tired after sitting around for a few hours, and driving for an hour after driving lots during the week just isn't fun. So we opted for the Red Box DVDs (found in McDonalds $1/night rental) and a couple of drinks. The Perfect Stranger was the movie we watched, Bruce Willis and Halle Berry. It was actually really good for a movie I never really heard anything about.

Saturday I woke up decently early. Deja is a good alarm clock on the weekends! I got some studying in (about a 3 hour lecture). Super boring, and definitely not any light material. This is going to be a brutal exam, or at least all the studying will be brutal. Blaine and I went for a nice run. Well nice and slow for him, killer for me. My bad for asking a cross-country star to go for a "jog". I think it was actually hard for him to go as slow as me, ha! But I did it, and felt good afterwards.

Saturday night was girls night! A bunch of us accounting girls from UND got together for the first time since we've all moved down to the cities. It was great catching up, and swapping work stories. We enjoyed some good food, good drinks, and wound up the night with a movie - Pride. Good movie.

Sunday was suppose to be a study day....whoops. We went to a twins game instead! It was a rough start, but they picked up towards the end (as usually). They almost came back to win in the bottom of the ninth, so close. It was enjoyable though. We even got a helmet sundae!!! I also gave Blaine a tour of my office while we were downtown. Too exciting!

Update on the house situation: We made an offer on a house on Thursday night. Friday we found out another offer was being made. Saturday the seller's countered our offer, with the original asking price, no espresso machine, and a move in date pushed back to middle of Nov. That was definitely not going to work for us, we need a house ASAP. So we countered with middle of October, and stuck with our original asking price. The sellers were suppose to close on their new home in Nov, but I guess were able to move up their closing date. So we are good to go on that aspect, now we're just waiting to hear back on the price....waiting again! We shall see....

Tonight Blaine is grilling a beer-can chicken! mmmm....
