What a weekend!

We plan to have a relaxing weekend every weekend and it seems that every weekend our plans change and we do more running around then we do relaxing. On Saturday Mark and I both agreed that the one thing we were going to do no matter what was to sleep in. We both get up at 6am during the week and so by the weekend we look forward to sleeping in. So I was dreaming of sleeping in like I did when I was living at home with my parents. I was going to sleep in till 11 am and if I was lucky I would sleep till 12pm. You can only imagine how sad I was when my internal alarm clock went off at 7:30am. I guess you could say I hit the snooze bar until 8am. Then I lay in bed trying to fall back asleep till 9am. I hate being on this teacher schedule! I want to go back to my single ways of sleeping till noon. I rolled out of bed at 9am, with Mark and helped him clean up the house.
After all the cleaning was done we decide to run a few errands. We went to Provo to Losee Jewelers to see if they could solder my ring. We have been meaning to do this since we got married. Then we left there and headed to American Fork to check out the local pawn shop. Mark has been looking for a rifle for a few weeks now. I told him I would buy him one for Valentine’s Day if he found one he liked. So we have been going from Cabelas, To Sportsman’s Warehouse to every pawn shop around town trying to find a good deal and a good gun. All we seemed to find was overpriced items or nothing at all. So we decided we would wait and I would get him something else for Valentines.
I noticed this pawn shop in American Fork on Tuesday on my way to the district offices and I told Mark about it. We decided to check it out on the weekend. We were very pleased with this pawn shop. Not only did they have a great selection they also had some great prices. We found Mark a new rifle for $350 dollars. Not only did we get the gun for this price, it came with a scope also. We were very lucky to stumble across this deal.
We decide that we should take the gun out west and shoot a couple of rounds to see if it was worth the money. We gathered up Mike and Becky, Cameron and Tait, and our friends Shannan and Erica and went out west to shoot the guns. We got out there kind of late but the guys were still able to shoot a few rounds. It was a lot of fun despite the snow freezing temperatures and all the mud.
After our shooting adventures we went with the Mack’s to Outback Steak House for dinner. The wait was long but the food was great! Plus we were able to sit next to the bar and have some free entertainment. It was fun to be able to watch a group of people sit up to the bar and be completely shy and only talk with the group they came with. Then after a few drinks it seemed as if everyone was there friend and they thought everyone wanted to talk to them. We even had a guy strike up a conversation with us about the Super Bowl (at least that’s what we think he said it was a little slurred).
Even though we didn’t have the relaxed day at home that we seem to plan every weekend, we had a lot of fun. Now we plan to relax today. After church, we made our new favorite treat, Pretzel Bites. We found a great recipe on the internet for pretzels and they taste just like the ones you buy at the mall!

hey at my baby shower we played the price is right game....we just bought some baby items and wrote down the price then had everyone guess how much it was. We also played what's in your purse. You just assign point values to items you would find in a purse...(make sure you do some baby items, but not all) i think that's it...if you have any questions just let me know!
