Friday night was Michael's work party. The week prior Michael had volunteered to help with the food for the event, I was thinking it would just be marinating the meat. But he and his boss went to Costco and he came home Thursday night with stuff for Pasta salad, Green salad, Fruit salad AND about 30 steaks and 30 chicken breasts to marinate! So we were up until about 11:30 cooking, cutting and throwing everything together. Then on Friday night we headed over to one of Michael's co-worker's home for the party. It was a really fun night. There are about 10 employees and all of them were there with there families. His boss did a drawing with a HUGE TV, camera's, Ipods and tools. Michael won the Camera- and his very nice boss gave all the wife's $100 bones "for supporting their husbands" He is so great. Michael even threw me in the pool, fully clothed, with white shorts on!
Saturday we got up pretty early (well, 10, but that is still a lot earlier than I would have liked) And we started baking about 10 dozen cookies for Erik and Kami's open house/ shower. We made rice krispie treats, chocolate chip cookies and no bake cookies. My mom threw them a shower for their "reception" since they are not doing a reception on the day of their wedding (they are just doing a dinner for close family and friends). We weren't able to make it to the event (Yes, I did feel really bad for missing it, but we had tickets to the Police concert for months! Erik said it was okay, because we were going to the actual wedding day festivities and he said he would do the same thing if he were in our position). So we wanted to help as much as possible- thus the 10 dozen cookies =) This is Michael when he opened the cocoa container. It was all over the place!
I surprised Michael for his birthday clear back in April to tickets for the Sting and The Police concert. So we headed over to my parents house at about 5 (the concert started at 7:30) We parked there which was wonderful, so we didn't have to mess with any traffic, my dad took us over there at about 5:45 to wait in line for them to open the gates and let us in. It was so freaking hot! But I guess that is what you get in July in Utah =). We got pretty good seats and I got some major people watching in, there are some CRAZY people that like to go to concerts, Michael said that I people watched more than I actually paid attention to the concert. It was a wonderful concert, and we both had a lot of fun. Michael and I decided that Sting is a very good looking older man =)
It was a really great weekend, but we were happy when Sunday finally came and we were able to sleep in and just take it easy!

You won a camera.. didn't you just buy one?? That picture of Michael and the coco is so funny.. ha ha. Sounds like you guys had a fun weekend.. maybe we will get to swim together one day!! =(
Wow! You guys really did have a full weekend! It was so fun to sit and talk to you guys saturday night. Mike was such a champ sunday at Erik's, he looked sooo bored. How was the bike ride back? We missed you at the reception, but I would have liked to go to the concert too so I don't blame you!
PS I think it's so funny that Mike threw you in the pool.
I'm not going to lie to you I am jealous of you guys going to the police concert. However, I'm glad that we did go to the open house at your parents house because Kathryn showed us the super secret ninja way to USANA which means that next time we go to a concert (Jack Johnson in AUG) we don't have to sit in 3 HOURS OF TRAFFIC. I will probably see you on Aug 2. No worries on checking my blog. i check yours and Kathryn all the time. I hope it is ok if I add you to my friend list.
