Monday again.

Saturday was our Anniversary, 2 years to the day that we got married. As apposed to the day of our wedding. Most people don't realize that those two dates aren't the same. Saturday started out as a normal Saturday, I got up with Mike around 8:00am. After a 10 minute discussion about breakfast we settled with him eating some pumpkin bread. After that he read some scary stories to him self while I plunked around the house aimlessly. He had a go-see-it for the scouts at 10:00 which we needed to prepare for. So at around 9:00 he got his uniform on, we did up his hair, said bye to Mom and headed out the door.

The go-see-it was at the Press & Argus building in Howell, next to the outlet mall. The e-mail from the scout leader said there was limited space, so only 1 parent was allowed on the tour. Also they wanted everybody there before 10 so they could get it all started right. So naturally we where the only people there on time. No one else showed up until a quarter after ten. And of course they all brought not only their scout, but all the other kids they could find too.

The tour was pretty neat, the plant was shut down. They only had 3 people there working. One of them happened to be Cameron's sister Velvet. We where only three minutes into the tour when I remember how well behaved Mike was in public. For a group of 'boy scouts' the rest of the kids where a bunch of hellions.

After the tour we headed home where I hooked up the play station to let Mike play some X-men while I made lunch. Shortly after I finished eating I got a call from my parents, a pipe had broke in the basement and my Dad needed help fixing it. So I cruised out there for an hour or two then met Jen at her parents house. That when our Anniversary really started.

After leaving their house we went home so I could change my shirt, and then we headed up town. We went shopping at a few stores looking for some pant that fit Jen comfortably. After that we went out to eat at Bennigans in Howell. We stopped by one of the larger nurseries in Howell to look for ground covers for Jen's grandpa's grave site. We picked up some ivy that looks like it will grown nicely in the shady area around his grave. We where planning on putting it in the ground today, but we didn't manage to make it.

At 9:00pm we went and saw Grindhouse. I liked it, though I think the first of the two movies was the best of them. After grind house we came home and watched another movie. It was a french thing we had laying around. By the time we where done with the 'movie' it was 4:00am and we where ready to sleep. Or at least I was ready to pass out.

Today we went out to my folks for a BBQ, which turned out okay. Cam and I took a trip out to the Graveyard to pick up the bench there. I borrowed a couple of sanders from my day. Hoping we can get the bench sanded down and take it back out there. It's still in really good condition concidering that it's been out in the weather for 4 or 5 years now.

Maybe tomorrow we can make it out to plant the ivy and stuff.
