The Week That Was

There was no big news to report this week. hence my lack of posts. I did get my engagement ring back on Monday and it fits beautifully now. Ando and I also had dinner at his parents on Monday with his brother and girlfriend who was in town. It ended up that we were both wearing the same shirt, but in different colors too. I didn't have my camera with me so I could take a picture of it for all of you to decided who looked better.

Ando and I did get to meet with the priest at St. Teresa on Wednesday after work. I didn't know what to expect, but it turned out not to be too bad. He just asked us the usual questions about being baptized and confirmed. But then he needed our addresses......I gave mine and then it was up to Ando. Yep, he already found out that we live together. He told us that if we have a 2 bedroom that we should be living and sleeping in separate rooms. Ando and I decided to take what the priest had to say to heart, so now we each have our own room to sleep in; I got the bed and Ando got the love seat. No, really we are doing what we have always done, being annoyed with each other in a queen size bed.

The rest of the work week was pretty uneventful. It was another early, late, early, late, early week. I hate having to rotate like that, but I get to do it again this week! On Friday we all got a surprise visit from our good friend Markerena. He helps us out on shoots sometimes and since he was in the area for another job he stopped by to say "hey". It really brightened my day to see a nice face leading into the weekend.

That evening was even laid back with just Ando, Jenster and I going to dinner at Sorrento's. We didn't realize Friday night was Karaoke night so we asked to sit away from the bad singers. I almost got Jenster to get up and sing, but I guess she just didn't have enough beers in her. After our long Sorrento's experience, the pizza took forever, we went back to our casa so Jenster and I could look at bridal magazines and books she got out of the Library for me. Every wedding dress in those books is awful looking. I don't know what I am going to wear walking down the aisle if that is what I have to choose from. The books just made me realize how much I really do want a wedding planner. I don't want to have to do all this work by myself.

I had some big plans to accomplish a lot on Saturday, but really didn't get as much done as I had hoped. I went running in the morning since I only went once during the week and got soaked in the process. Of course it started raining when I was the furthest away from my house. After my nice wet run Ando and I headed out to Ault Park to see if there was a wedding being set up. Sure enough there was. We just looked around to see what the set up was for a reception there and then walked around the park a little. We came to the conclusion that we need to go to Ault Park more and walk on the trails there. Oh, and the wedding reception we liked, but now need to figure out the cost and if it is even available.

You probably don't want to know all the little stuff I did after Ault Park so I am going to skip straight to that night and going out with Ando's students to Montgomery Inn. The TV Association had an end of the year banquet and they all invited Ando's new fiancée to judge, no cross that out, meet her. It was a little awkward, but overall not as bad as it could have been. It was also another opportunity for me to go to Montgomery Inn and not pay for it. I don't think I have ever paid for my own meal there. I hope all of the guys, and few girls liked me because if they didn't I don't know what I will do with myself.

Nothing exciting happened after dinner. Mo went home early, Jenster wasn't feeling well so she stayed in and Ando, Teed and I went to Gaslight for a couple of drinks. Again Teed was mistaken for someone else by the same lady that has done the same thing twice before at Gaslight. I can't imagine Teed looking like someone else with those sideburns and all, but apparently he has a twin out there that I need to meet.

Ando and I aren't fighting about the wedding any more; we just have decisions we need to make. This week it is inside or outside reception?
