Fun Weekend!

Paul and I had a fun weekend. Paul came home Friday afternoon, we went to see

"Journey to the Center of the Earth", I was not sure I would like it, BUT was pleasantly

surprized. Only had to hid my eyes a few times.

Saturday we took Paul's parent's, NolaMarie and Vernon, up to Logan, UT.

to the Utah Opera Fesitval. We had GREAT seats for "Into the Woods",

a wonderful musical.

Afterwards we came back to NolaMarie and Vernon's for a Bday party for NolaMarie.

Lots of good food, and good family.

Sunday was Natalie and Ethan's 7th Wedding Anniversary!!!! Way to go guys.

We had a delicous pot luck dinner at their house. Jackie made yummy ribs, Nat corn on the cob, I made ice cream pie and Aaron made wonderful chocolate chip cookies.

Sorry Paul had to miss the Sunday dinner, he went back WA.
