Sorry for not posting in awhile... I know that you (our most dedicated and loyal followers) anxiously await any updates and Erin and I are working to make sure that we keep you posted more frequently. As you can imagine, school is busy right now and free time for both of us is pretty much non-existent.
Anyway... I digress...
This past weekend was Easter, and Erin and I both went home for some time with family. I had Good Friday off of school and work, so I went home on Thursday, but Erin had to wait until Friday afternoon to join me.
On Friday afternoon I was at the tire shop getting some new tires on my car watching some SERIOUS weather come in, thinking the whole time about poor Erin (whom I knew was driving out in the middle of it). Quarter sized hail was raining down on South East Huntsville, and I was really worried about her being on the road. Later, looking back on it, Erin probably hit the best possible gap in the storm because she never ran into any tornadoes or hail, which is more than most of North Alabama can say for Friday.
After borrowing my dad's car to head to Erin's side of town after the storm had passed, Erin and I went out to eat dinner with her mom and dad at a sushi restaurant that her family frequents. We had a nice time and enjoyed the charge given us by her parents to go pick up a few things from the grocery story afterward (bribed by the option to pick out a dessert while we were there). We found some delicious ice cream sandwiches with a healthy portion of vanilla inside of two chocolate chip cookies. I don't even remember the other things we picked up because my mind was on those the whole time. :)

After coming back to her house, Erin and I spent some time watching the special features on the dvd for "Marley and Me". Her mom was working on a project for her masters program on her computer that involved some video editing, so I ended up spending some time working with her to get the project just right. It turned into a late night because I had some difficulty. Being a perfectionist and very novice video editor is a bad combination...
Saturday morning brought clearer skies, and Erin headed over to my house to spend the day with my family. We mostly just relaxed in the morning and then went out to grab some lunch. While we were out to lunch, her mom called needing some additional help on the video. It ended up being perfect because going out there allowed Erin to have a chance to work on some homework that I'd been keeping her from during the morning :)
Later that evening, after having dinner back at my house, we watched "Slumdog Millionaire" with my parents. It was a very intense movie, but one that Erin and I heartily recommend. It tells the story of a poor boy from the slums of Mumbai, India, who endures all sorts of tribulations, but goes against all odds to win the Indian version of "Who wants to be a Millionaire". It was very touching... and an overall wonderful movie.
Sunday morning we went to church with my family and then afterward went to lunch with her extended family.
Then, our weekend ended (as they frequently do) with us following each other down to Birmingham before our ways home diverge...
It really was a nice weekend. We enjoyed the time we got to spend with each other and with our families. Now we're looking forward to this weekend when Erin is coming to visit me at MSU.
