Weekend!

Well folks, we made it to our first weekend as married people. We did lots of married people things, such as:

1. Go out with other married people. We met the Wynns and another friend, Wes, for dinner on Friday night. It was a restaurant that is exactly like Texas Roadhouse (cinammon butter and all), but is inexplicably named Santa Fe. After that we watched Salt at the Wynns' house. There was Pizza Hut dessert involved.

2. Go to Bed Bath and Beyond. Saturday, we ran errands. Included on the list was registering at Bed Bath and Beyond! We planned to start P90X too, but since there was only time for P90X OR a nap, you can probably guess which of those things actually happened.

3. Go to dance parties with other married people. Saturday night was Dance Central night at the Wilcoxes'. For those who don't know, this is a game on the Xbox Kinect. It does not require a controller, the Kinect reads your movements and you have to match the dance that the avatar is doing. It is pretty fun, although I think the wives enjoyed it more than the husbands. My Husband actually beat a few people! Not me of course, but still impressive. Our friend Jenna took a picture, which she dubbed, "Strangled by Matrimony"

He loves it

4. Go to church. On Sunday we went to the church that Husband has been attending with the Wynns. The great thing about this church is that they announce anniversaries and birthdays. Our oh-so-funny friend James stood up and announced that it was our 1 week anniversary. Husband was embarrassed. I was too, but I also love attention so whatever =) After church was pizza at Mellow Mushroom, then nap. While asleep, I got a phone call from my job that I had been offered the previous Tuesday. Apparently these "professionals" decided they didn't want to pay my recruiter, and instead of just asking if they could reduce my pay by a few dollars, they just rescinded the offer. No matter that I now was a week behind in looking for another job or that we had made a deal already, or that they knew about the fees BEFORE they offered me a job... ok ok, enough venting. So, the good news was that I now have some extra time to get my name changed on all my stuff once the marriage license comes in. Also, I was saved from working for jerks. Ok, seriously done venting. (spoiler alert: I have an interview today!)

5. Cook. Husband took over the kitchen reins and made us some awesome ribs in the Crock Pot. I will post the recipe some other time since it is on his phone.

All things considered, it was actually a great weekend and I was so thrilled to be able to hang out with my new permanent friend, as well as some of the new friends I now have in Alabama.
