visit with grandma and grandpa

Well, Jeremy and I had another wonderful weekend! Grandma and grandpa, came in on Thursday evening, and then we got to eat dinner with Liz and Judy in Indianapolis at Liz's house. She made us vegetable beef soup, and chili!! It was a perfect meal for the cold night that it was. So we got to spend some time with them before we drove back to Huntington with grandma and grandpa. They got to stay with us all day on Friday and Saturday. We had a great time with them! They could not get over how much snow we have! Grandpa would keep saying, "just look at all that snow piled up!" He didn't go outside much, because it was too cold :). They actually came on days where they got in two good days of sunshine! It was still cold, but the sun was actually out! Saturday it snowed a few more inches which gives us close to two feet. But it is warming up this week and is going to be in the 40's, so hopefully some of the snow will melt!

So Friday evening we went into Ft. Wayne to go out to dinner for Jeremy's birthday. We ate at a restaraunt called Flat Top Grill. It is really similar to a BD's Mongolian Barbeque. You pile up everything you want stir-fried in a bowl, and then hand it to the cook, and they cook it up for you and bring it to your table. It was a lot of fun! We came back that evening, and played a game of Yahtzee, which grandpa ended up winning. Not sure how he did that, since we all pretty much played the game for him ;)!! He got lucky, and ended up getting a yahtzee, on his last roll! I am a little bitter, because I would have won, if it weren't for that :).

Saturday, was a nice relaxing day. We sat inside most of the day and watched the snow. We watched a couple of movies and I worked on making dinner. I made lasagna, salad, bread and spice cake for dessert. Everyone seemed to like that ok, and grandpa loved the spice cake! Grandma had to tell him to back off a little bit :). After dinner we got to listen to Erin, and Hillary's basketball game online, where they won the conference championship!! I am so glad that we are able to listen online, since we can't be there. The girls we sooo excited, and they got to cut down the net, then I think they all took a little swim in the pool :). After we listened to their game, Jeremy and I talked grandma and grandpa into making their characters on our Nintendo Wii, so that they could play. I think they were glad that they did! We had so much fun!! We played I think 4 bowling games with them, and they both started getting really good!! Grandma actually beat Jeremy one time! They said that they were excited we are bringing in home over spring break, so they could play again. Grandpa joked that they might have one by then :).


Sunday we got around and headed back to Indianapolis. We stopped on the way to eat at Cracker Barrel for breakfast/lunch. Then we went back to Liz's to spend some time with her that afternoon before uncle Gail flew in from Casper. He happened to be in Indy this weekend because of a meeting, so we all got to eat dinner Sunday night at his hotel! It was so nice to see him, we hadn't seen him since the wedding. Grandma and grandpa hadn't either. We had a good time eating, the best food we have ever had! Grandma and I decided that it was the best steak we had ever had, which is saying a lot! The food was quite amazing. The company was even better. It was good to just get to chat for a couple of hours. So, overall it was an amazing weekend!! And we miss everyone so much already!! But we are coming home in a little less than a month for Jeremy's spring break. Hopefully we will be able to find a place to live in that week! Everyone, feel free to keep your eye out for any possiblities!
