Chad left us to board a plane for Reno, NV. Bless his sweet heart, Chad had a cold all week. :) Needless to say, he really missed home! He left notes for me to open each day, and he managed to come up with things that he likes about me to share each day. Thanks for all your planning, Chad! It really meant a lot. Greer and I had fun together and managed to survive.
Yesterday, we had breakfast with some old friends from Marshall, Christi and Simon. Thanks for broadening our horizons to Denny's, Simon! We tried to rent a movie, but found out that we are old and cheap. Instead, I got ice cream and chocolate from Publix to make a yummy snack. (Add hungry to old and cheap.) We headed back home to meet Michael, Kate, and Amelia before they left for Costa Rica. It was fun to see Greer and Amelia really play together this time! There was lots of hugging and chasing this time compared to previous stares.
Now the best part...dinner. Chad wanted to take us to dinner at an Asian Restaurant (name intentionally left blank to protect the innocent). We showed up around 5:20 thinking that we had beat the rush and could all enjoy a nice dinner together. There were only about 3 couples on the list and waiting with us, so we sat down and had a good time waiting together. We even got to know the couple sitting by us and the wife helped read Greer a book. About that time we looked at the clock and it was 6. Still same 3 couples, no sign of progress. Apparently we had been trumped by all of the planners that called ahead. Chad graciously told the hostess that we were leaving, at at 6 pm, we decided to head for Zaxby's. Zaxby's must have something against us, because we never order a salad and actually get what we ordered BUT that just added to the humor.
Today, Chad thought he would redeem himself with lunch after church. We just laughed as we entered into the parking lot to see a special sign that read "Closed for cleaning on Feb. 15." Who told them that we were coming? Oh well, we found a new Qdoba instead! Thanks Chad for a terrific week! I am glad we have each other to laugh with at all of life's frustrations!

She is so cute in that outfit and she looks like she's a big help in the kitchen!
sorry you had to end up at Zaxby's! We went to Flight Deck and got right in. THey had a prime rib dinner which included a valentine's picture :) but we got something else. Wish I had known the trouble you were having-i'd a called ya! The movie wasn't that great or maybe we are just old too. I was glad to see the girls playing more also-so cute!
