Easter Weekend

I have to say, this past weekend was a lot better than I was expecting it to be! This medicine I have been on is killing my mood, so by 5:00 on Friday I was ready for the weekend. I was kind of grumpy, but a quick trip to Costa Vida fixed that right away! Plus we got to walk there because it was so nice outside, so that helped too. After Costa we walked around Shopko, our favorite thing to do, then went home to watch some movies. We had rented two movies that night, but I fell asleep during the first one, and we never got a chance to watch the second one, but that's okay!
Saturday morning I had to work at 9:00, but my friend asked me to model for her that day, so I was up on campus at 8:00 that morning! Nobody should ever have to be on campus at 8 am on a Saturday. Or at any time on a Saturday for that matter. I didn't have time to eat breakfast before modeling, so I asked Brandon if he would bring me some cereal when he came back up at 9:00. Brandon got to the library a little after I did, and I saw him walking up the stairs with a white bag and thought it was just cereal, but as he got closer I realized it was a bag from Burger King! He brought me french toast sticks and hashbrowns for breakfast!! He told me this was my Easter gift and honestly it was way better than any basket of candy would have been! That day at work was kind of long, because it was so nice outside and neither of us wanted to do any homework, so we mostly lounged around and talked all morning.

After work we went up to this parents' house to borrow the big red truck. We got this old treadmill a few months ago and I had only used it twice so we decided to finally take it to the D.I. Well whenever we borrow the truck Brandon always leaves the car keys for his parents just in case they need to move the car, but we always forget to take the keys when we are going to need to get back in our apartment. This time was no exception. We got back to the apartment, realized we had left the keys, and almost went back to get them, but I decided to run around and check the back door first. Well, it was locked, but then we realized that we left the guest bedroom window cracked. There is a little roof covering over the front doors of the apartments, and it just so happens that if one were to stand on the roof covering, they could reach the guest bedroom window. So we backed the big red truck up so the tailgate was practically touching our neighbor's front door, stood in the bed, and I cheerleader-hoisted Brandon up onto the roof. He got up, took out the screen, and after struggling to keep Sophie inside  was able to get inside the apartment. We loaded up the treadmill, grabbed extra keys, and were off! It was a pretty good adventure for the weekend, if I do say so.

We took the treadmill to the D.I., got some Aggie ice cream for lunch, then set up the hammock outside for a nap. Brandon fell asleep for a little bit, but I wasn't very tired so I went inside and cleaned up the apartment. I took down our winter curtains, cleaned the windows, took out the trash and even changed the air filter in Brandon's car! Then I made these peanut butter banana oatmeal bars, but I think I used too much banana because they are pretty mushy. We just kind of hung out the rest of the day until about 8:00, then we went to dinner with Brandon's family at the new Mongolian restaurant in town. It definitely wasn't as good as the Mongolian in Boise, but it was tasty nonetheless! After that we stopped to buy groceries for our Easter dinner, and by the time we got home it was 11:00 and we were tired!

Sunday morning we woke up early and just hung out until I had to go to work. When I went downstairs after I got out of the shower I noticed our Easter gifts were sitting on the table, but all the plastic eggs were gone. I asked Brandon if he hid the eggs, and he had! So I got to go on a little Easter egg hunt of my own that morning and it was so great! He is seriously the best. We got the ham put in the crock pot and hoped that it wouldn't overcook by the time we got home. Luckily my six hour shift that day went much faster than the 4.5 hour shift the day before. I got more homework done, and I think Brandon did too, so that was nice. When we got home we made some potatoes, heated up the green beans and cherries, and sat down to the first Easter dinner either of us have ever cooked by ourselves! It was a lot of fun! Being able to cook the ham in the crockpot was super convenient, because we were all finished cooking, eating, and cleaning up by about 7:15 or so. After dinner I made peach cobbler, and Shawn came over to have some dessert with us. We watched a few episodes of the office, folded the laundry, then went to bed.

The next couple weeks are going to be pretty busy for both of us. We have five total weeks of school left, 3 real weeks, 1 dead week, and finals week. We both have quite a few assignments that are due this week and next week, but we are powering through! We cannot wait for summer, it can't come fast enough!
