Well, this has been a very busy week. We have been trying to get through lesson plans and mapping projects between observation hours and studying for tests. We did find a little time to squeeze in some fun.
Monday, we were all settled in to sleep when Ty had this idea for his project that would make it "better" so, at 11pm, we hopped out of bed and drove to Hudson where I studied and Ty did research until 2am. Surprisingly, we weren't too tired to go and try to recreate our first date on Tuesday (more to come).
I taught my lesson to Kindergartners again and they were actually listening to me this time. Then, I hurried back to campus to have my night class. When night class was over around 6:30pm we headed to the Cities to celebrate the 3rd anniversary of our first date. Depending on who you ask, it was either really terrible or really good. Since I am blogging, I will tell you why it was really good ;). We did get lost and we did have a difficult time finding parking, I will admit that was no fun. We did try to go to the restaurant where we had our first date, and were ignored by a waitress. BUT we found this cute place called the Loring Pasta Bar. Yes, the menu was more expensive than we expected, but I thought the authentic food was good (Ty was not as impressed). You could see the Kitchen from where we were sitting and there was a live band playing authentic Italian music while people were dancing.

Afterward, Ty suggested going to McDonalds for a McFlurry...I said, "After 3 years thats all I am worth? At least take me to Dairy Queen!" He ended up doing alright. We went to Coldstone on our way home. In MY opinion, I thought it was a unique way to celebrate our 3 year anniversary. We did learn one thing from this though, some good memories are just never meant to be recreated...
As for the rest of the week...it has not been nearly as eventful. Studying and working on mapping projects has been the focus. Well, I suppose I should study some of my Spanish Vocab before class at 3pm. We will miss seeing all of our Chippewa friends this week. It is getting to be CRUNCH time in the semester and we need to stay up here and focus for the next two weeks.
Spanish Phrase of the Day
Una cabeza sin memoria es como una fortaleza sin guarnicion.

I wasn't that much of a scrooge. I had a great time being with my great wife on our anniversary. She is putting a rather heavy positive spin on the evening though:) The waitress didn't just ignore us. She flat out denied us service as we stood there waiting to be seated for 10 minutes, thus, forcing us to walk out. So, being on our date together was far from terrible, it was great. However, having the memory tarnished of our first date restaurant was. (This was posted in my defense:))
