So went to take Shannon's car in, and went to get it back, but when Shannon turned over her car, the check engine light came on and stayed on, so we dropped off the keys again, and headed out. They eventually called us and told us a cam sensor (whatever that is) had gone bad and needed to be replaced, but they couldn't get one until monday....so we left it there.

We had Josh and Lindsay pick us up and we went to Taste of Des Moines. Which was ok...overpriced but, ok. We easily spent 20$ just on food and stuff. I had a wonderful lamb gyro and some ice cream and it was good. We didnt' stay there very long and headed home.

We picked up some movies and headed over to Josh's to watch them.

We watched Grandma's Boy and Waiting, both of which weren't great movies, but were fun and silly to watch.

Afterwards, we headed home.

Sunday afternoon we headed out to go to open houses with Chris and Holly. And that was fun...a lot of the things were good a lot of things were bad. Sometimes the place was good but parking was...well...awkward at best and the location wasn't in the sort of range where we want.

We did stop in this nice town home that we just happened by. It was for sale by owner, and the owners were a nice older couple, but in walking in the home, I could tell that it was probably out of our price range and I was right...it was around $220k.

We did look at one where we had kinda said hey this would be great, but in looking at it, the space that was actually there would be quite the challenge. We couldn't have our wonderful dining room table in it and still have space to have a living room, with out it becoming awkward.

Afterwards we headed home.

This weekend we also got a quote about the roof, which was quite a bit more then I thought it would be...and I am investigating other options...because...well...we can't afford to do that and get out of this house.

Anyhoo...we also made a big change to our wedding registry too...We decided that since we don't really do formal dinners and in discussing with my parents (who don't really own fine china) we decided to remove it from our registry. I do love the way it looks, but at around $50 a place setting, it's a little silly. We did a bit more shuffling too, removing the expensive flatware and adding nice every day flatware (same brand as the serving utensils).

Also...today...2 months from today we'll be married.
