Relaxing Weekend

We have had an insanely busy couple of weeks with the start of baseballs season, and the Bulls first home stand.  The week before the Bulls had their first home game Greg was working like crazy, he was staying at work until 9:00-11:00 pm!  So, we were both really excited with this home stand coming to an end on Friday.

Greg didn't have to work the game on Friday, so we had planned on going to the game and then going out with a few of the people that he works with afterwards.  The game was supposed to start at 7:05, and so I was going to go home and we would just go to the game together.  Well, we got some crazy rainy weather late that afternoon.  I got home, we cooked dinner, and we waited to hear what time the game would start.  Now, if you know me, you know that I'm not really a late night person.  I like going to bed early, and getting up early.  As we approached 9:00 pm I began to ask if we really wanted to go.  BUT Greg insisted.  They pulled the tarp off the field, we headed to the stadium and the game started at 9:05.  Not only did the game start late, but I felt like it was going SO SLOW.

We headed over to a bar that over looks the field and watched the end of the game with one of Greg's co-workers, and once the game was over we headed to a different bar where we were meeting everyone.  It was a lot of fun.  Everyone was unwinding, and I got to meet and interact with a few of his co-workers that I've wanted to get to know.  We rarely go out, so this was a treat!

Saturday slept in, and Greg really wanted to go to Joseph A. Bank because they were having a good sale, and my brother and sister in law gave him a gift card for Christmas.  We went and he decided to get a charcoal pin-stripped suit and a red paisley tie that he has wanted for a few months.  After that we went by some furniture stores because we are looking at buying a new couch and chair.  We have our eyes set on something, but we are trying to make sure it's a good price and that we can't find something we like better.

We stopped and got a RedBox on the way home.  We got The King's Speech.  I think that we both really liked it.  We also grilled burgers for dinner.

Sunday we didn't really do much.  We spent the afternoon at the pool (where we both got pretty sunburned, Greg is much worse than me).  The we went and got another movie!  We got The Kids Are Alright.  I was really disappointed.  I have pretty high expectations for films that are nominated for best picture, and to be honest...  I don't know how it go put into the same category as The Fighter and The King's Speech (the only two that we have seen that were nominated, but we are working our way down the list- I'm dying to see Black Swan).

All in all it was a wonderfully relaxing weekend, and I'm glad that Greg got to kick back.  He's been working really hard, so he needed some time off.  I hope you guys had a great weekend!
