This weekend I went home with Kristen and Jaron. We all took Friday off and left Pullman on Thursday night. This was a good weekend to go to Tacoma because my birthday was on Friday and ERC wanted to throw us a wedding shower.
The ride home was uneventful. The pass was clear, and the road crews had finished their avalanche repairs by the time we got there.
On Friday morning Kristen convinced me to open my presents in the morning. It was a good idea, because she surprised me with a Wii. I've been wanting one for quite some time, but didn't expect to get it as a gift. Needless to say, the rest of the morning and afternoon were spent swinging our arms about while staring at the television. Wii Sports came with the console, and Wii Play was bundled with the extra controller that was part of my present. Jaron and Christine pitched in to buy me Guitar Hero III for the Wii, and it should arrive in Pullman within a day or two. My parents gave me a box full of camping supplies, which will come in very handy this summer. The box included a table cloth covered with Cougar heads, a guidebook to Washington state parks, a cast iron skillet, a lamp that turns a Nalgene into a lantern, and more. I can't wait to try these things out with the rest of my gear.
For Saturday, Kristen and I went up to Kent to see Victoria and Karl. We had breakfast together, and it was enjoyable to catch up with them. The weather was amazing (in the high 70's), so we decided to go mini golfing after the meal. Then it was off to the mall, since Kristen had a gift card she needed to use. She was able to get some great clothes at pretty good deals. After eating dinner with my family, Kristen and I drove to Puyallup to hang out with Jake. With him, we went to The Rock (since he hadn't eaten dinner yet) and then back to his apartment. I brought along the Wii and we played a couple of the games together. Jake also pulled out a copy of the Lewis and Clark video we made in high school. It was really fun to reminisce about that project, especially since I haven't thought about it in a while.
On Sunday we all went to church. Afterward was the shower, which was attended by 60 or 70 people. It included a taco salad lunch, a couple of games, and words of wisdom from married couples. It was really nice of the church to put this on for us. Kristen and I appreciated it a lot. After that, Kristen, Jaron, and I drove back to Pullman, arriving there around 8PM.
