So Saturday we met up with Chris and Holly and Holly's mom down at the Greek Food Fair, which, to our surprise, wasn't actually open, yet. Apprently they expanded their hours to Saturday...but only Saturday evening (Chris and Holly already had plans for the evening). So we chatted and ended up going to Cookery.

The food was good. We had scheduled to go to X-Men 3 the next day, but decided to go on Saturday instead. So we headed over to the Cobblestone 9. It was actually kind of funny when Shannon and I went in, cause it was showing on so many screens, we actually tried 2 screens before we actually got the right one. There was nobody taking tickets and directing traffic, so it made it a bit hard to find the right one.

Shannon and I headed home after the movie, and just kind of hung out the evening. We ended up watching Austin Powers: Goldmember and since our next day was to start so early, we went to bed.

5:AM Sunday rolls around.

5:AM is really early, espically on a Sunday when you just kind of want to be lazy all day.

I got up and got ready and Shannon didn't much feel up to it. She was having a common side effect of the antibiotic that she was on, that prevented her from headed out with me. We were under the impression from a call to the Doctor's office that we would be able to change the perscription that we had witht he pharmacist, if the side effect continued. So when it opened we headed down there to get it changed, and we had no such luck. So Shannon will be calling the doctor today to get a new perscription....or at least talk with them about it.

So, making sure it was ok with Shannon, I headed up north. It took a bit shorter then I thought it was (It's about a 160 mile drive, Chris, so about 2 hours or so, not 3). I got to the Mormon church in Albert Lea. I was a bit early, so I thought I'd wander around for a bit and take pictures of the building...it didn't take very long, since it's a lot smaller then most churches that I've been to.

Eventually, other family (Including grandma, with her first trip to church since she went to the nursing home) showed up and we were probably about 1/3rd of the people there. The blessing of Hyrum and Diane's new baby was about 10 minutes, and I kinda sat around for the rest of the meeting.

Afterwards I called and checked on Shannon to see if she needed me to come home (she didn't). So I helped my dad take Grandma back to the nursing home (my first visit there, yes I know, I'm a bad grandson). After that, he led me over to Hyrum's house and I hung out while they setup to grill and sever a small army of people. Diane's parents needed to head back to Wyoming, so they wanted to take off pretty quick, and so lunch was cooked in two shifts.

Burgers, brats, hot dogs, potato salad, and other various things made up the meal. It was nice.

Around 1ish the rest of the faimly showed up from church and the 2nd shift began.

I had a nice conversation with my cousin Mike (who I have seen from time to time). It was interesting we talked a bit about HBO's Big Love and other things. It was kind nice. I hadn't really sat down and talked to him in a long time.

I had some rubarb pie (Mom made), which was pretty good. I took some of it home and had it for dinner (Shannon's not a huge fan of rubarb. I took lots of pictures, played with some kids.

I guess the funny comment of the afternoon was when I explained that Shannon wasn't feeling well, Brent asked if it was morning sickness...which it's not.

Around 3 or so, I headed back home.

I cooked dinner, and for a while, we worked on an assignment that was given to use by the officiant for our wedding. He basically asked us to write how you feel in you head and in your heart about what the marriage should be and write how you are going to seek to accomplish that. Which is a bit harder then it sounds. He also told us to bring along some music if we want it in the wedding. So I have a thing or two in mind.

If what we wrote is not exactly what he wants then I guess we'll have to try again...but I think it is...

We are at about 110 Days to the weding...so things are getting pretty close.
