All week we planned on going camping again this weekend, but when Thursday night rolled around and I still hadn't unpacked all our stuff from camping on Monday and I looked over all my course calendars and realized I had 3 tests coming up on Monday, we decided to skip it. And then Friday afternoon we all got sick. It was just a little bug and was a good excuse to stay in bed and study all weekend. Saturday I got more homework done and then in the afternoon Hannah went over to play at Nana and Papa's house while Devan and I went to see Star Trek at the dollar theater and then to Cafe Rio...oh how I've missed you, Cafe Rio! After we picked up Hannah we drove up a canyon to an overlook. We put a blanket down on the gravel and the three of us lay down under another blanked and stargazed. There were a few other cars parked there too, but after a few minutes of us being there, they drove away one by one. They probably saw our baby and though "We'd better stop what we're doing before we get one of those!"
This morning at 9:30 we went to church. Hannah still had her cold and was inconsolable, so I asked Devan to take her home about halfway through the first hour of church. I feel bad that he had to miss most of church, but I'm so glad I got to stay. It seems like it's going to be a really great ward. They say that it's really transitory because there are only apartments in our ward, but everyone was really friendly and welcoming. After church I came home and started making some soup for lunch and the food I was going to take to Sunday Dinner. As I was chopping up my vegetables and thinking of how much I hate chopping vegetables, I realized I should hurry and cut up the vegetables for all our meals this week so I don't have to spend time doing it later. Then I realized that as long as I'm cutting up all these vegetables, I should just make all the meals for the week. So...cooking a quick pot of soup turned into a two hour project, but now I have 10 cups of chicken and vegetable soup, 3 meals worth of spaghetti, 8 servings of a casserole, and a stir-fry to bring to the in-law's tonight. My fridge and freezer is stocked and I'm excited to not have to cook a single lunch or dinner this week.
That was my weekend. It was nice to be home, I'm excited to see how I do on my tests and to be done with them, and I'm relieved that I don't have to spend much time in the kitchen this week. Have a great week everyone!

Looks like you had a busy weekend! Thank you so much for letting Andy and I hog Devan and his brilliance on Friday and Saturday! We could have done it without him...and you too! Thanks for sharing with us even though you were sick. I hope you're feeling better and it would seem that when you are, we are taking you guys out to dinner. Let us know where you want to go (the sky's the limit...hahaha) and when and we'll have lots of fun.
