A fun weekend

Mark and I started out our weekend right away on Friday night. Our town has a farmers market that Mark and I had never gone to. This Friday night we decided we would go. There was not a lot of produce, as not much grows around here, but we did pick up some shrimp scampi raviolis that we had for dinner. We also bought some homeade jam, we can' wait to taste. We had so much fun buying our dinner at the farmers market and then coming home and cooking it. Mark said it was very European of us. On Saturday we worked outside. I pulled weeds and mowed the backyard while Mark worked in the frontyard. When I was done I helped Mark a little bit in the frontyard. After all of the yard work we showered and then went to get massages at a local massage school. I fell asleep during mine, it was so relaxing. We then went to the Lands' End store inside of Sears; I could not find anything I wanted. After shopping we went to Qdoba for dinner and we both had burritos. We then went to the mall to walk around. We watched a movie, and went to bed. Sunday morning was church, I can't wait till next year when we have church at 11. I am now making oatmeal chocolate chip cookies to take on a YW retreat that I am going on this week. We are taking the YW to Steamboat Springs. We have a lot of fun things planned for the YW, it should be a lot of fun. We are trying to move forward with our life since Arianne has left. We are trying to do things that we both enjoy. Today at church during 2nd hour we met with a guy in our ward whose daughter did not come home for almost a month. He was telling us how he and his wife handled it. And also that he told her she could live by their rules or leave. What is it with teenage girls that decide to leave? He told Mark that what he did sounded like it had to be done. It felt good to talk to someone that kind of knows how we feel, expcially Mark as he was the one who laid down the law. Well, I have to pack, and get a few things ready for the retreat.
