Happy Lent! The beginning of Lent always means the arrival of Kelly's birthday (haha!). I had to laugh at ourselves when we happened to get to Mass very early and scooted into confession. We talk our way through an examination of conscience together, which lead us to realize we were confessing almost the exact same things, which lead us to the idea of letting married couples go in together. ;) Really, wouldn't that save a lot of time?
We had a low-key weekend....had some friends over to play guitar and watch the Nova-Georgetown game (we lost).

| Meet Clayton |
Mike made delicious barbecue chicken pizza on Saturday - can you believe we had to run to the store just for a bit of brown sugar? Aren't those moments killers--"Well I could try to get by without it, but it might ruin it. Or I could make a substitution...which also might ruin it. Or I could get my lazy behind to the store, wasting gas and time."
And we went to
THE CIRCUS!
 |
| The ring master |
 |
| I loved the trick riders |
 |
The old motorcycle on a tightrope act.
|
I was allowed to bring in my SLR camera (sorry Chrissy!). I had a hard time getting it to focus and not let too much light in, but I managed to get some good ones.
 |
| The big cats! "Princess" seemed to be misbehaving, and seemed to want to eat Mr. Trainer. |
 |
| One of my favorite acts |
 |
| ELEPHANTS |
 |
| Elephant doing a trunk/hand stand |
 |
| The motorcycles were insane |
 |
| You got the dragon in yoouoou |
Meanwhile, in the real world...Mike is on his first field service trip to a plant in Tennessee. I finally got my new driver's license with my new name. We're probably a little behind on our studying for the FE, but we'll catch up.
I didn't write about two weekends ago, because again I didn't have any pictures. We went to 2 Nova games, which we lost, and we had a blast playing tennis with mom and dad on a gorgeous day. We are itching to get out and play again. Afterwards, dad ordered us some pizza from my favorite local place, Snappy's. During the week I went on one of my Costco dates with mom - it always makes me so happy to have fresh fruits, veggies and meat. And to spend time with mom! Of course. :p
WOW! You got some really good circus pictures, I'm happy for you! And you were right; the elephant's back WAS to us.....We have a great time with you and Mike, too!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous that you got to see trick riders! We didn't :(. Seems like the shows we saw are fairly different, but I'm glad we all enjoyed them! I am sad that the alfredo sauce didn't make a debut on here. bummer.
