Well hello, age of technology

What an awesome weekend it has been.  Geoff turned 28!!  He's so old!  Oh well I don't consider him "officially" old until he's 30, so I 'spose he's got a few years yet. 

The Pink Floyd  Think Floyd USA concert was pretty good.  Geoff said it was definitely worth the ticket price, a whole ten dollars.  For a person who only knows a few of their songs, I actually enjoyed it very much.  The concert venue, the Peppermill in Wendover, is way nice - only seats 1,000 people so there isn't a bad seat - but the acoustics were not good.  It could've just been the sound system or the music volume though.  But it was still good.  After the concert, we spent about an hour turning 20 bucks into 80 bucks, then we drove home.  We got home around 1:30 and went to bed.  Fun night!

Gwennie had spent the night at my mom's, so we got to sleep in Saturday morning.  Mom and Dad went to Mesquite to watch Erik race, and we knew she was just in the laundry room with the doggie door, so we sorta took our time picking her up.  We figured she loves the freedom of running around in the backyard.  I think it's good for her, however now she's gotten used to running free and runs away from us when we're at home, but we'll just work on that. :)  It's great that she can go play at grandma's and we're glad they could watch her so we could go to Wendover.  :)

So instead, we made breakfast, then I brought home a birthday cake from The Chocolate (delicious!).  Then we picked up Gwennie and brought her home.  Geoff did a bunch of research and we went to Best Buy and got a blu-ray player and a router so we could hook it up to the internet.  (We tried just getting a thing that would upconvert dvd's to HD, but nothing we tried was working to we did this instead.)  We spent the evening hooking it up and trying it out.  Having it hooked up to the internet is awesome.  Unfortunately, our internet connection isn't fast enough to watch some movies with the really good picture quality, but we can watch any of the instant-play Netflix stuff right on our TV.  This is not going to be good for our TV-watching habits!!  ha ha.  We joked about how far we've come from the days of the box-tv with the missing power button and rabbit ears.  It's like we've joined the age of technology in the last two months (but we'll never get the updated phones and whatever, which is totally fine with me.)  We watched a documentary called The King of Kong, about one man's journey to beat the Donkey Kong world record- it was so interesting!   We also sold the elliptical and got it out of our kitchen.  It is so nice having our kitchen back!  So nice, in fact, that I cleaned everything up and brough the table back into the center of the floor and it feels so good!

Sunday, Geoff went to church - he was teaching in Priesthood - and I wasn't feeling too good so I stayed home so I wouldn't cough on everybody.  I ended up scrubbing the bathroom and getting a bunch of laundry done.  We got a new area rug for the front room and put the old one in the back room.  The ethernet cable wasn't long enough to run it along the wall/ceilings, so we just used some rugs and it worked fine.  And dad gave us some stuff to use along the baseboards.  We spent the day napping, watching movies, and playing with Gwennie outside.  Pretty much a perfect day if you ask me. :)  And the house is clean for the first time in a long time, and it feels sooo nice.
