good weekend

Fri - some Olympics

Sat - was supposed to go to Saints batting practice but no one else could/would go so I skipped it. Was good to rest anyway - did some reading. Then off to Jons bday party - it was really fun. Carrie and Lonny came and a bunch of G&J friends. We played Catch Phrase - casual group style, Guitar Hero - watched Phelps and some other races, had a bonfire and a MN Twins cake.

Sun - got up and went to Jun Bo for Dim Sum with Kate - delish!!! We ate like Queens. Then Don and I went to Mary Mitchells grad party (daughter of Dave and Ann whom we have know since the early 80's) We hadn't seen them in about 4 years so we had a great visit!

Then it was off to the drive in for the big engagement surprise! Dad and Ellie, Jon and Gen, Me and Don, Jeanine, TJ, Kate and boyfriend, Jims sister and mom were all in attendance. Michele had no idea. We all sat in our cars with radois tuned to the drive in station. Jim had pre-recorded their song and a little story along with the "Will You Marry Me" it was a grand romantic gesture. The song was Bryan Adams "Everything I Do" from Robin Hood - after the somg his voice came on and did a littel spiel about history of drive in and the memories made there - like those of him and his girlfriend - then he popped the question and we all honked our horns and then ran over to where they were parked. She could not believe we were all there and that everyone kept her in the dark.

J&G and Don and I stayed for the movie - Tropic Thunder - it was pretty funny.

Back at work today - going to a Saints game tonight.
