Wow what a busy but great weekened.

Friday we took a trip to Mike and Brandon’s for dinner. Thanks guys it was so much fun. I hope our lateness didn’t ruin dinner too much. It didn’t taste like it to me!

Saturday I totally overslept at Mike’s and we got a late start to my folks. It was my dad’s 53rd birthday on Saturday and we wanted to take him to the movies and dinner. We got there around noon and had a quick lunch. We went to the theater to get tickets for The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. We had intended to go to the 1:40PM show but we could only get tickets to the 3:20 show as all 4 shows inbetween were sold out! We went and had some coffee and shot the shit as we always do(Me, Shawn and my Dad can really gossip!). We had a great time and went to stand in line for the movies. The movie started at about 3:30 after the previews. The movie is DAMN long at 3hrs 35 minutes. My dad said there should be an intermission, and sadly, we got one, at the height of the movie where Elrond was giving Arragon the Sword of the King, they stopped the movie. There was a guy in the theater who apparently was going into Diabetic Shock. It took the EMS guys abt 30 minutes to get him under control and out of the theater. It was actually not that bad cause Dad got to take a leek and ask some quesiions about things that happened in the last two and we finished up the movie and went to dinner. We had a great time even tho my mom chose not to go. But we ate, drank and laughed. I am sure he had a great time.

We finally got back home around midnite. Willow was very glad to see us. After unpacking and getting settled, I did not get much sleep and we got up early on Sunday to finish up our shopping. We had alot of fun even tho I was kinda cranky from not sleeping too much!

We did have some very sad news Sunday in addition to some really sad news earlier in the week. Our friend Pamela L. was killed earlier in the week in a car accident in Wels, Austria. Also, on Sunday morning my best friend Sue’s dog Bear passed away. He was like our dog too and very much loved Shawn. They will both be missed.

Well it’s back to work tmrw, and I need to get some damn sleep.
