Last couple weeks

Chris and I had a nice fully packed weekend.
We went to Let's Dish on Saturday and made 8 dishes. For anyone who is thinking about doing this, let me be the first to tell you that it is awesome. It has helped Chris and I this week already. The nights we both get home late, we are always tempted to just bag the idea of cooking and we run out and spend $20-30 on a meal. Nights when Chris has school, we do not always have leftovers, so he was doing $5 foot longs. I would just pick up something on the way home because I did not want to cook for just one person. We were wasting so much money, and now we get home and we pull our dinner out of the freezer and cook it up. Some dishes are one portion dishes, some are 3 portion dishes. It is fabulous! The best thing is that you are in charge of what you add to the meal. You follow directions that are laid out for you, but you can add more jalapenos, or less cilantro, whatever you feel like. This way, Chris can do three portions his way, I can do three portions my way. All in all... a great experience and a LOT of fun.

We also went to the recently opened American History Museum. I had two things in mind; the first lady's dresses and the ruby slippers. We also saw the first American Flag, it was truly amazing. The rest of the museum was good, I was a little bored at times, but all in all it was a good experience. Even though I love you mom, dad, and grandma, I will not go again with you... I will drop you off and come back and pick you up... lol. What Chris and I did in 2 hours, would take you 3-5 hours, and I don't think I could do it!

Currently I am at work running the CAA's Swimming and Diving Championships. They run Wednesday - Saturday. Not the best time in the world, but it definitely beats a swim meet with 600 children on the deck.

This weekend is packed again. I have the meet Friday and Saturday, and Chris has his bball on Friday night, and a make up class on Sunday. He will probably have a group meeting on Saturday and/or Sunday, so there goes another weekend! We did just find out that Chris can go home with me when I go home for Jessica's shower. Not only will he get to see my family, but also Aunt Becky is coming! We both are looking forward to seeing Grandpa Barber since he hasn't had the best of outcomes lately (not sure how else to put that), regardless, we are both happy we can see him in March, because we don't know when we will be back.
