Der reekend

We had an actual date night Friday night. Very cool that Geoff came up with the idea and was excited about it. It was such a cute idea too, but I won't say what it is because we might use it for something later and I don't want to ruin it. :) We also made chicken salad from a recipe from the baby shower. It is yummy, but we left the grapes out because Smith's was charging $7.00 for a bag. Way too much for a bag of grapes, ha ha. It turned out okay though.

Saturday, we slept in and went to Salt Lake. We went to Pirate O's - always a fun place to browse - and Barnes & Noble. I bought a booklet on Las Vegas. There were so many ideas of things to do and see that we've never done before, so hopefully we'll be able to have a fun trip next weekend! Our anniversary is on Thursday and we both have Friday off, so we're thinking about doing that.

At 5:00 we went to a bowling alley in Sandy, for a fundraiser event for the organization Geoff works for. It was packed! We passed out t-shirts, sold drawing tickets, and just sort of made sure people had food and drinks and then cleaned up afterward. I was glad to meet Geoff's colleagues, they were all really cool. There was some weird guy running around in a cape and spandex, talking in a high voice all night. He seemed like he was our age. We thought he was some kind of mascot for something, but found out later that they don't really know who he is, he just randomly shows up for these kinds of events. He's some sort of Youtube celebrity. ??

It SNOWED! Like all day yesterday. It was snowing when we left and all we wanted to do was go home and make dinner and watch a movie. So we did. It was a pretty good day.

Today, ended up sleeping the morning on the couch (nasal congestion, didn't want to wake geoff with my constant sniffing and sneezing) and both the "spring forward" and not having an alarm - I slept too late. Geoff still went to church because he had to teach. Now he's in bed with a cold. I don't know. We are struggling to get off the nasal spray. We've tried so many times, many different ways. We've tried just healing one side at a time, but that doesn't work because the swelling seems to shift from side to side throughout the day and it's just weird. Geoff's mom said she was addicted at one time and the Dr gave her steroid shots, but that seems a little extreme. We just have to buck up and do it. It just means miserable days and sleepless nights, is all. Anyway.

I love love quiet lazy Sundays.
