A Mid-Autumn Weekend of Bliss

We had an above-average weekend. This is why.

Friday -



Ben and Shannon talked me into going to the 10:00 showing of Twilight - something I would not normally do. I get cranky at night. It was totally worth it, though. I think we were the oldest people in the theater. It was us and a lot of emo kids. Much fun.

Saturday -



We hosted brunch at our place. On the menu: spinach and mushroom fritatta, cooked spiced apples, sausage, and a variety of juices.



The BYU football extravaganza at the Thompsons. The getting together and eating and talking part was fun. The watching Max Hall send the season down the tubes, not so much. I think Ben and Preston cried themselves to sleep that night. I managed to get over it fairly quickly.

Sunday:

Church. When the Relief Society President introduced Shannon, she mentioned that she could see the family resemblance. I'm not exactly sure what she was seeing, but it's a good story!

P.S. Preston came up with the title.

I guess crying to sleep is better than picking a fight with ones wife. Not naming names of course! :)

I'm so glad you enjoyed the movie! (And I'm thoroughly impressed that you know what "emo" kids are. My YW were talking about "them" one day, and I had to have them explain. We didn't use that term when I was in HS!) Thanks for making time to hang with us this weekend. Sorry I tired/sick Saturday, it would have been fun to do more!

Your weekend does sound blissful! I got your comment that you had a dream about me... what was it? I am currently partying in London with my family and get back to D.C on Nov. 30th. Vacation is the best. Tell me about the dream Talk to you soon. Have a great Thanksgiving and I am so grateful for your friendship!
