The Varelas

This weekend was uneventful but nice. I'm here at work with a frustrating keyboard--the space bar keeps sticking, and I have to backspace and fix it at least once a sentence! I won't fix it anymore. We'll just have a continuousstreamofonewordfortherestofthispost. Just kidding.

Jon had to work late on Friday, so we missed our Bible study, but it was nice to relax at home anyway. Scott came over and we watched Open Range, which I bought for Jon on DVD as a surprise with a Costco coupon.

On Saturday, Jon also had to work (his company and the one that owns it just moved into the new building, and Jon and one other guy did all the computers and networking), so I did things around the house like laundry and cleaning. But that night we went to Macaroni Grill (the insalata rossa is my favorite!!!! And the bread there is to die for) and to a movie. We saw Tom Hanks' Ladykillers and were a bit disappointed. The 100+ times that the f-word was said were absolutely unnecessary, and that alone ruined the movie for me. Hanks' character is funny and interesting, but not enough to redeem the film. We hadn't realized it was by the Coen brothers... Anyway, we won't be buying this DVD. ;)

On Sunday, we went to church and heard another great message from Arch and went to the food court for lunch with friends. Then it was off to the big sale at Old Navy! I got 2 new shirts, and Jon got about 8 or 10 new shirts--all for $10 each or less. After we headed home with our booty, we helped Jon's parents pack and move for a little while before Jon had his basketball game. Despite their efforts to prosecute their landlord for not reimbursing them for the $8,000+ they have put into their rented house, Ray and Colleen (and Jennifer) have been ordered to move from their house by April 12. This couldn't have come at a worse time!--Janel is coming for a week with baby Seth to visit April 13. I'm not sure what's going to happen with that, but even more important in everyone's mind is where the Varelas are going to move to. I think someone at church has already offered an "extra place," so we'll see.
