Weekend

Jeremy and I went on a great belated Valentine's Date on Saturday. (This is us before leaving on for town.) We had not been to a movie theater since we arrived about 6 months ago. So, we treated ourselves to a "real" movie and dinner. The thing is that the one theater in town has crazy and inconvient movie times. We could go at 1:35, 5:40, or 8:40. None of them really fit very well with dinner... ahhh, the convience of big cities with many theaters! We decided to go to Harleez Steakhouse in Alamosa for supper at 4pm and then to the 5:40 showing. The steak was good. It was a new restaurant in town that we hadn't been to yet. Then, we went and saw The Bucket List. We thought this was a great movie. I did cry, but it made you think about what you're doing with your life. I have tried to make "Bucket Lists" before of things I want to do in my lifetime, but they have been short, expensive, and lacking depth in content. I should try again. :) We ended the date with a romantic shopping trip to City Market (aka Kroger). When we got home, we joined the 10 people that were at our house playing Taboo.
On Sunday, we had our first co-ed volleyball games. It was fun to play with people, even though many of them were just learning to play or hadn't played for a really long time. We lost all three matches we played that day in two games each. But our opponents were nice, and played for fun with us after we were done so that we could have some more practice. During this "practice" time, we usually beat them - either they weren't trying very hard or we don't play well in a game situation. We watched the Knight Rider movie that was on NBC that night. It was ridicuously cheesy and not nearly as good as the real show that was on TV when I was growing up.
