Memorial Day Weekend

This past week has been a busy, but super fun week for us.  One of my old roommates and best friends, Rachel, came to town for the wedding of one of our other old roommates and best friends, Kim, and she stayed with us for the weekend.  It was so much fun spending time together again.  It's been a long time since we've seen each other, so it was fun to catch up and reminisce about old times. Chris was a good sport to hang out with us and put up with giggly girls all weekend! 

Kim looked so beautiful and extremely happy.  It was fun to be able to share her big day with her and to support her.  

Today, Memorial Day, I dropped Rach off at the airport, and the came home and packed a picnic.  We went to the park and enjoyed the beautiful warm sunny weather for a few hours. We had a picnic and then we played catch and frisbee for awhile.  Afterwards, we laid down on the blanket which was half in the shade for Christopher, and half in the sun for me, and just relaxed.  Christopher took a nap and I read a book.  I LOVE being outside and it was so nice to just relax in the sun on a beautiful day.  I can't wait for summer to get here and to stay!! 

Christopher's New Toy...

Christopher has been wanting a new TV for a very long time.  He would check online to see how much it was at least three or four times a week, if not every day.  Finally, one day he found a really good deal on the TV and couldn't stand it anymore, so he bought it!  Here's a few pictures of his new toy!  I have to admit, I was a little skeptical of it at first, but I really like it and am glad we have it now.  We put our 'old' TV in our bedroom and it's nice to have one up there that we can actually see from the bed!  

He tracked the status of the shipping and as soon as it was in Salt Lake, we had to drive up there to get ourselves.   He was so excited to have it that he couldn't wait for it to be delivered the next day, as you can tell from the picture above and below.  

It took him awhile to get it set up just right, how he wanted it.  

And this is how it looks!  It's been funny to listen to Christopher talk about how much better everything looks on this TV.  I love it when he gets excited about something, even it is expensive!
