Happy Easter!

I've been meaning to update the blog with some pictures from the past couple weeks. But, we'll start with this weekend.



Friday was Erik's last day at Test America so he went out to Rialto's with Todd and a few of his coworkers. I was going to attend the drunken night of pool and bar food, but my back was hurting so I stayed home and watched really bad TV.



Yesterday we slept in (Erik much later than me), and I spent much of the day cooking and baking. I had invite Sarah, Ryan, Todd and Jen over and the menu for dinner was: Risotto, corn bread/jalapeno scones, delicious green salad with raspberry viniagrette, and chocolate mint brownies for dessert. After dinner we watched I Am Legend (I thought it was OK) and digested the tasty meal (if I do say so myself).



Today was the first Easter that definitely did not feel like Easter. I slept in yet again, had raisen bran, and went to church at noon with Ryan and Sarah. Erik and I went out to lunch at Panera (so good) and spent the afternoon not really doing anything. Well we did get the handy-dandy weight bench put together, but not much else.



Backtracking to a couple weeks ago, I drove down to Salem to visit Kristin at her parent's house. Kristin, her mom, and I went to get manicures at a nearby salon (always a good time) and then visited the capital building. I thought the golden statue of a random pioneer was pretty cool, but apparently everyone thinks it looks like a bowling statue (hmmm, I guess it kind of does). I also like the Iraqi Freedom memorial and the big round yard with each state's flag.

Backtracking to a few weeks ago, we went to a Blazer's game and had a fun time. I mostly enjoyed the over-priced nachos, but as long as fun was had, what difference does it make?


Erik was getting annoyed I kept taking pictures of us
happy again!
not sure what's going on, and don't care

Oh and we decided to be environmentally friendly and ride the max to the game, which was fine on the way there. Unfortunately everyone and their mother had the same idea, and for much of the ride home I felt like a claustrophobic sardine....but I survived.
