So Friday, I forgot to mention that I had lunch with Sethy! (And Chris, Jen, and Brandon). It was fun to catch up with Seth, I miss seeing him.
On Sunday, Shannon and I drove to Cedar Rapids for a Father's Day dinner at my place. We went to her house and dropped off some parts to her mom's video camera that we had forgotten to return before and also picked up a dolly from her parent's too. We sat and chatted with her mom for a while.
He headed over to my parents and hung out there, while Josephy was cooking and etc. It was kinda fun. Emily was there with her husband and 3 kids, and my younger brother Jed too. Dinner was pretty good. Joseph needs a bit more practice with thicker cuts of meat, cause they were mostly...well...not done in the middle. My mom had made a rubarb cake, which was quite tasty.....mmm...rubarb cake...
Happy Father's Day, Daddoo!
They also gave me a gift for my upcoming birthday (since I probably won't see them between now and then). It was a tshirt. It was kinda funny. Although it doesn't necessarily fit with my tech-funny theme that I have...it's kinda cool anyways.
Shannon and I then headed over to Beaver Park, to Hang out with Nathan, Jenny and their daughter Taylor. We chated for a while and I found out exactly what Nathan would be doing. He's gonna be working for a company that sells and supports items from Network Appliance. And he also told me that Jenny is now pregnant with their second child :) So after a while we headed back to where they were staying, so they could make themselves dinner. They are currently staying with Nathan's younger brother Zeke. We went ahead in my car and chatted with Zeke for a little bit before Nathan and Jenny got back. We chatted quite a bit more and around 7:PM or so started to head towards home.
Shannon and I chatted bunches on the way home, it was nice.
When we got home, we found that Gracie had left her hiding place under my bed and was acutally moving around a little. This morning I also saw her downstairs, so, finally, she is started to get used to my house.
So this weekend, a few friends are helping me move the rest of Shannon's big things into my house. We are also getting a Dining room table from Val's Uncle (they bought a new one). So that should be good too.
Sometimes it seems a bit crowded now. The bathroom upstairs is kinda small, so when we're both trying to brush our teeth and stuff, it can be a bit crowded. But it still works. More parts of my house are becoming more "our" spaces as opposed to "My" space. The kitchen is still mine...for the most part (the cat food and water are in there). But it's still nice. I want her there. I've liked waking up next to her for the last few days. Although when her alarm went off this morning about an hour before mine...it was...well...but I did go back to sleep.
