Togetherness

Bryan and I had a nice weekend together.  :)  It's only our second weekend in our new house, so lots of time was spent doing house-ly duties...

Friday night: We made dinner (grilled chicken with a little Italian bread crumbs, baked potatoes, and salad) and watched a movie, Two Days in Paris.  I enjoyed the movie, Bryan not so much.  Probably about 20% of the movie was in French, something Bryan does not like.  He hates reading subtitles.  I guess I understand that, and I will admit that the movie was a bit weird.  I just have fun watching just about anything based on French culture.  The family in this movie was hilarious, and both Adam Goldberg and Julie Delpy are very talented.

Saturday: We started off the morning doing house chores; Bryan shoveled the driveway (again) and I hand-washed our kitchen floor, hardwood floor, and bathroom floors.  Let me tell you - our driveway is the best on the block, and our floors are dirt free!  :)  Excellent!!! 

Around noon I met up with my mom, Aunt Becky, Aunt Sharon, Aunt Laura, and cousin Andrea for lunch at Deer Lake.  Becky's birthday was last week, so the lunch was a celebration for that.  It was fun chatting with all of them. 

After lunch I went back to the house to clean the bathrooms while Bryan worked on getting the TV and cable box situated just right.  The Comcast guy installed our cable and Internet so Bryan was just finishing all that up.

We went to see Carolyn perform with the Novi drumline in South Lyon, but we missed the show. :(  We left about 10 minutes late, and then followed the Magellan and took an awful route there..  So instead we went to Costco to get salt for our water softener and then to Target to get all of our bathroom fixtures.  Our house did not have any towel bars or toilet paper holders.  Crazy!  Now it does, though!! 

Saturday night: Bryan and I met up with Jamie and Ryan for dinner at the Hamlin Pub, right around the corner from our house.  We had good conversation and good food, and left around 10:15 p.m. when a live band started.  I think Bryan and I will definitely return some Saturday night to enjoy the live music.  :)  After the Hamlin Pub, Jamie and Ryan came back to our place to check out the new place.  Bryan and I made chocolate-chip cookies from scratch on Friday night, so we enjoyed lots of those while just hanging out together.  They left a little after midnight.

Sunday: What a cold and windy day!  I did not venture outside once, it just looked too cold.  I was lazy for the entire morning, just reading in bed.  I think Bryan was doing stuff on his computer, not sure what he was working on.  I read on and off the entire day, and also watched some TV.  After not having TLC for quite a few months I am now hooked on the show Jon & Kate plus 8.  It is funny and entertaining, and their kids are very cute. :) At times Bryan wanted to shoot himself because of the crying children, but he pulled through. ;) 

At night we watched a bad movie, The Great New Wonderful.  The good news is it was only 87 minutes long.  The bad news is that those 87 minutes are pretty lacking...  This movie featured about five different, separate stories.  I am not a big fan of movies like that.  I like movies to have one big plot, with every character interacting with one another.  Bryan also thought this was a strange film.

And that was our weekend together.  Nothing too crazy happened - it was nice to just spend time together in our new home. :) 

Now it's Monday, the start of another thrilling work week.
