Weekend Update

My dad turned 61, er, I mean 39 (as he claims) on Friday. We celebrated by having dinner at Bob and Mary Woods' House that night. There were 12 of us around the table, enjoying meatloaf, baked potatoes, and green beans (my dad's staple meal). Mary baked a banana cream pie and I baked an apple pie from Erin's apple trees! We were stuffed by the end of the meal. Dad received a twelve pack of beer, and a steel cut-out from me! He isn't sure what he is going to use it for...but it is cool!

This is the SolidWorks drawing of the steel cut-out I made for him at work. We are now going to start to make metal art and sell it...this was the prototype...I think I will turn it into a coat rack for him...

Saturday...hmmm...We cooked breakfast...and I burned the french toast. Louie and I went to my company picnic at noon...where we gorged ourselves again on hamburgers, hotdogs and this amazing "Better Than Sex Cake" that Tammy (our secretary) made. I dropped Louie off at his friend Buzz's house, then I went to Spokane to go Homecoming dress shopping with Ashley. We had an amazing day shopping...one of the best ever! We found the dress, shoes, and accessories all at Northtown mall, for under 100 dollars total! It was crazy. Since we did that all so fast...We decided to go to The Women movie. It was good and we laughed really hard at the last 10 minutes of the movie.

Ashley's dress, $30, Shoes, $40, earrings, necklace, and purse, $15...it's amazing...

While I was dress shopping, Louie and Buzz fixed up the house, putting cable upstairs and trimming the trees in the backyard. Hopefully this coming weekend, Louie and his dad will put 220V in the garage so I can start up that welder that I got from grandpa!

Sunday, Louie, Mom, Erin and I went to Matt and Casey's house for traditional Sunday breakfast. We stayed there until 1 pm, and then ran errands and finally got back home around 3. It was cold and rainy, a perfect day to lay on the couch in sweats and watch Sunday Football, which was exactly what we did. Louie invited some of his friends over for the evening game, and he cooked awesome hot wings, and nachos...while we ate some more apple pie! Overall, a good weekend and I am sad that it is already over...and the fact that I am still sitting at work
