Pat and I had a very nice weekend. I even had a little extend-o weekend due to Martin Luther King day.

Friday night was very typical. The only thing that was out of the ordinary (as of recent), was that the Sweaty Butcher made an appearance. Go Butch! Saturday, Pat and I went out to Skaneateles. We finally got together with our in-laws and out-laws. We've been planning the second meeting of the McCarthys and the Reeds for quite some time, and it finally happened. It was a very nice day. We all met up at my parent's house. We went out to lunch, got coffee at my favorite coffee shop, went to a couple stores, and checked out the Holiday Inn in Auburn. It was such a cold day, that we couldn't really stand being outside too much. For the majority of the afternoon, we just sat in front of my parent's fireplace and chatted. It went very well.

Saturday was another typical evening for us. We went over to Mike and Holly's where we sat in front of another fireplace. We also took some of the tests on the Spark. Hilarity ensued. Sunday we did a lot of lounging around.

Yesterday, poor Pat had to go to work for the Man. I did about a month's worth of wedding planning. Pat and I have been falling behind on our planning, so it was great to get some things accomplished. I was very excited, because I found a DJ and he said that he is also the "Voice of the Orange", which means nothing to anyone who either did not grow up in Syracuse or doesn't watch SU sports. The "Voice of the Orange" is the guy that announces at the games. I decided to check it out, because his voice didn't sound very familiar to me. As it turns out, the "Voice of the Orange" is Mark Johnson, not the same man I was talking to yesterday. I am seriously considering not signing a contract with him now.

Tonight, I am NOT working late (no matter what) and I am getting together with Rebecca. We're going to Outback for salmon (one of my new favorite things) and we're going to Peggy's Bridal to do girl stuff. I'm very excited about that!

If you need to find Pat tonight, he'll probably be sitting on the couch "killing monsters" (aka - playing video games).

We hope everyone had a very lovely weekend and Martin Luther King day.
