Great Weekend

Brian and I had a great weekend - full of family and friends...just the way we like 'em =) Friday night we hung out with some friends while they were on dorm duty, it was nice to just hang out and relax. I worked for just a few hours on saturday and Brian took his strength and conditioning exam (fingers crossed!). The Catlin fam came over for dinner in the Dining Hall and a movie. The adults watched Fracture, and the kids watched Finding Nemo which I can only assume isn't the first time they've seen that movie. Fracture wasn't too bad, not as "thrilling" as I hoped but still pretty good. When it was time for the fam to pack it up, Ryan didn't want to leave so we had a slumber party! Champ was very protective of Ryan, he heard a noise and started barking liking crazy then slept on the floor next to the futon Ry was sleeping on. Really cute. The next morning Brian and Ryan took Champ for "the longest walk ever" according to Ry, and I went to help get brunch ready at a friends house. We did a potluck style brunch with some of our friends on campus, it was lots of fun. Pretty cool to be in the kitchen with friends...lots of laughs and smiles. The boys and I then packed up and headed over to the rink where we help disabled children skate on Sundays. It was really cool to see Ryan helping those less fortunate than him. He was very inquisitive and super sensitive. At the end Ry even got to put on some skates and Brian helped him around the rink a couple of times. After Amy and Kenny came to get him, Brian and I rushed up to hartford to join his parents at a boat show. It was neat to step foot on some of the fancy ones and think about how we'll NEVER own of those! Sarah joined us all for dinner at the Olive Garden to top off our fam and friends weekend =) We were exhausted and sleeping by 945...yikes! Totally worth it though!
