Weekend Update!

I want to share with you what we did this weekend. Unfortunately I did not take many pictures and the ones that I did take are currently stuck in my camera because Joe's computer crashed and my USB ports do not work. So I will try and find photos from other sources to accompany this post.

Friday after work Joe called me and said that his computer was finally a very large paper weight and that he was going to buy an Ipod Touch to replace it. So we went to Best Buy and while he picked up his new toy I exchanged some shirts that I had bought the day before for a different size. After our trip to Northtown we went to the lovely Lyden household to hang out with friends and play games. We bought Brian the game Axis and Allies several years ago for his birthday and when they first looked at the directions they put the game right back on their storage closet shelf and it has sat there ever since this weekend when they finally brought it out and decided to tackle it. To make a long story short the game is similar to Risk but much much more detailed and complex. It took them over an hour to set it up and over 4 hours to finish even one game. I did not play because Nicole was also there with baby Natalie so we hung out together. We were there until about 12pm and then went home and went to bed. Here is a photo of the game that I found online (Source):

 On Saturday we were going to have our 3rd Saturday in row with nothing planned but that changed with a wake up call from Joe's sister Megan. She first called my phone and I didn't answer, then she called Joe's phone and he couldn't get to it so I sent her a text that said What's up and she immediately called again. By this time I knew it was important so I answer and she asked if we could come and pick her and a friend up because She flipped and rolled her car into a ditch on her way to go shopping in Duluth. Everyone was okay (not a single scratch or bruise! Thank God!) just a little shaken up, but Joe and I jumped out of bed and went to the rescue. The accident happened on 35N in Rush City which is about an hour away from our house. After we got everything out of the car, because it is most likely totaled, and talked to the insurance company we were on our way back home. We brought Meg and her friend home and we hung out at the In Laws for a few hours until we decided what we were going to do with the rest of our day. We ended up going back to the Lyden's to play more games. The girls went out shopping and brought pizza home for the boys. After hanging out until about 9pm we went to our friend David's house and visited with him for awhile. Then we went home and went to bed. Here is a picture of Meg's car after she rolled it. It is hard to see the damage because of the color and the snow:

On Sunday we went to church and came home to have lunch, we planned on staying home and relaxing because had kind of a busy weekend already but we hadn't seen Lindsey yet so we went to David's again and hung out with them. We watched some snowboarding on the Winter X Games which was awesome! After that we went home for dinner and then we were off to our Sunday Night House Group. It was another great night of community with the girls. Also you may have remembered from my previous post that we were supposed to watch Joe's brother Micheal fight this weekend, well it was canceled and he is supposed to be rescheduled sometime soon so when it happens I will definitely post about it! Overall not quite what I was expecting our weekend to look like but it was good!
 Sorry for the shortage of pictures; I will have more next time!
