The weekend was a non-stop, action-packed festival of excitement. The party started Saturday morning as I ventured up the the Galena Park area to take my first stab at snowshoeing. I didn't go too far because I was trying to get back in time to go see a movie with Emilie. I plan on doing a serious trek next Saturday if things work out okay.

We had our plans set to go see a movie, but we received the call asking us to go donate blood at our stake's blood drive. I went and did the regular whole blood donation rather than the "double" red blood cell donation that I usually do. By the time I was done giving blood (Emilie abstained because of her recent medical procedure) it was a little too late to catch the movie we planned to see, so we scrapped that plan, ate lunch and went furniture shopping. I don't know if we'll ever buy any furniture, but Emilie likes to look. We'll probably consider it more once we are in the new house. Then again, we'll probably be broke.

Saturday evening we watched Cops and America's Most Wanted. When we first got married we used to watch these shows every week, but in the past couple years we haven't watched them as much. We've started to get back into them, though. Ask Emilie about police dogs - she thinks they rock!

Sunday was Stake Conference, as it was all over Nevada. It was a good meeting, but folding chairs get hard after two hours. I know, I know. Next time I'll get there earlier. But probably not.

The game was good. I wanted the Patriots to win since they seem like a much "classier" team than the Eagles, but I found myself cheering for the Eagles by the end of the game because they were doing so much better than most people thought they would. We had Wendy's family over for a big ol' party and it was fun. Most of the commercials this year were either lame or just regular commercials that we've seen a hundred times; however, the best one had to be Ameriquest's "Cat" commercial. Their page is slooooooow today, not doubt because of the ad.
