I wasn't quite sure what to get Jon, since he spent so much on my Valentine's present, so he got to order himself a bunch of new games. The games arrived the same day he gave me my ipod. He is very excited to play all of his new games. I am too, to be honest, he ordered some fun games. He got Pandemic, Ingenious, Cartagena 2, Witch's Brew and some expansions for other games.
Friday evening, we went to dinner with the Stewart's and the Anderson's at Pho Saigon. We had planned to go to the stake Valentine's dance with the Anderson's, but by the time we finished dinner none of us felt like going to the dance. It was really foggy besides, and it's an hour and a half drive to the stake center. We wouldn't have arrived until almost 9:00 and then we could have stayed until 10:30 just to drive another hour and a half back home. Instead we went and got ice cream at Dairy Queen and then came back to our house and watched Transformers 2. Rita fell asleep, so she didn't see most of the movie. The Stewart's ended up going to see Avatar in 3D. Jon and the Anderson's had already seen the movie, or we would have gone with them. I have to wait and watch it when it comes out on DVD or BluRay.
Saturday was another fun filled day. I had a baby shower that morning. When I got home, Jon and I went to see the movie about Queen Victoria, but the company forgot to send the theatre the movie, so we went and saw Percy Jackson for free. I haven't read any of the books, but I thought the movie was really good. Jon said that it was different from the book, but most movies are. That evening we had the best Mexican we've ever had in Mankato, and it wasn't even at a restaurant. Our friend Courtney Stewart made some amazing pork and we made our own Cafe Rio burritos. They were so yummy! We spent the evening eating and playing games. What more is there to life? The Judson's were with us too, but Kurt had to leave early to go to work.
Sunday we ended up spending the evening with the Anderson's. I wanted to take a nice long nap, but I got maybe 40 minutes. It wasn't quite long enough, but what do you do when you have to fix dinner. Rita always makes dinner for us, so we decided that we'd make dinner for them. We had marinated pork loin, papa a la huancayina, and asparagus. It was very good, thanks to Jon's help. I couldn't have done it without him. Rita and Adam fixed crepes for dessert and they were very good too. We had a wonderful Valentine's week and weekend. We hope you had a wonderful day celebrating the love of your life.
