A Jam Packed Fun Weekend!

This past weekend Sarah and I had a lot going on, but all the fun stuff. Friday morning, we left for Columbus for an evening with David Sedaris, a writer and commentator for NPR. On the way up, we stopped at the Jeffersonville Outlet Mall for some shopping. Sarah and I each got a new pair of sandals for the summer, I got some new dress shirts, and Sarah got a new purse. When we got to Columbus, we checked into the hotel and relaxed for a little bit before going out to dinner. We went to a restaurant called Haiku for sushi (what else) before the show. Neither of us had heard David Sedaris live before, but we have read most of his books and listened to several of his CD's (great entertainment for road trips). While his style of humor and satire aren't for everyone, we really enjoyed him.
The next day we hit the mall for some shopping. Sarah really wanted to go to H&M and I was on the hunt for a new pair of jeans. I found exactly what I was looking for at Macy's and we headed home. On the way back, Sarah decided that she wanted to buy a pair of shoes she had seen at the outlet mall, so we stopped at Jeffersonville again. One pair of shoes turned into THREE new pair and we were back on the road.
When we got home we picked up Gilmore from A Doggie's Day Spa, where he had spent the night. He was very happy to see us but very exhausted, which was good because we had plans to go out that night as well. Our good friends Liz and Jason were coming to stay with us because we were all going the Ellery CD release party for their new album Lying Awake. Ellery is the husband and wife duo of Justin and Tasha Golden, friends of ours from Cincinnati Bible College. We had a great time at the show (which was AMAZING) and stopped by Waffle House for a late night breakfast.
Sunday morning Liz had to leave early and Jason had to take off after lunch. Needless to say Sarah and I were pretty tired, so we spent the rest of the day on the couch watching the first eight (yes, eight) episodes of Lost. Now we are hooked and can't wait for Blockbuster Online to send us the rest of the season.
All in all we had a really great weekend. We packed a lot in, which is a little unusual for us, but it was a good change! Over the next few weekends we are planning to get some around-the-house projects going. Hopefully we can get them all done "before the HOW Conference."
