A Relaxing Weekend

John had all these huge projects due this past week, and then this next week is study for finals week, and the week after is finals! Crazy..... time is flying by now! He will graduate in just 14 days and then we will pack for the next 2 weeks and we are outta here! Since the past 2 weeks were super crazy and stressed for John, and for me with apartment stuff, we decided we needed a good break before these next two weeks start with all of their stress.  Therefore, Friday night we headed on down to Glide to John's parents place.   We met them in Roseburg that night and caught some of Heather's softball game, in which her team crushed the other team as always (she is super good and is their star pitcher).  Then, Sue was super sweet and took us out to dinner at Los Dos Amigos, which was a special treat because I love mexican food.  We picked up a movie in town afterwardsnand headed on out to Glide.  Jackson played with Maggie, their dog that he just loves, and his Aunt Heather who is seriously his favorite person ever- he starts smiling and giggling as soon as he sees her, and he even learned how to say her name this weekend! Later that night we played some Rock Band for the first time which was pretty fun, and then we watched Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.  We've been in an Indiana Jones mood since we went and saw the new one last week.  The next morning the girls, and Jackson headed back into town where Sue had set up a surprise appointment for me to get a spa pedicure!! It was seriously exactly what i needed!! I LOVE getting pedicures, especially while sitting in the chairs that message your back too, and i hadn't had one since Sue had gotten me one for my b-day back in August.  After that we did some grocery shopping, then got some subway and headed over to the park to eat and let Jackson play on the swings and slide, which he loved and had so much fun! The boys back at home played some video games and then went fishing, which John loves to do and has been dying to do for awhile now.  When we got home we took some naps and then had a yummy BBQ that night!  

All in all it was the perfect relaxing weekend that we were hoping for.  We each got to do something fun and just relax without worrying about apartments and school stuff! It was a great weekend, big thanks to Gale, Sue and Heather for making it so!!  Unfortunately, we forgot our camera at home, so sorry, no pictures from the weekend, but here is some videos we took today and a sweet picture of Jack midair jumping- his new favorite thing to do, besides shooting hoops of course. Enjoy!

Oh man! I thought I had already commented on this post!!
Anyway. It sounds like you had a GREAT weekend! I have never had a pedicure - it's one of those things that I've always thought about doing, but is never really high on my priority list.
Good luck to John with all of his finals/final projects, etc!!
