Fun Weekend!

Jason and I had a wonderful time this last weekend with his parents, who came to visit. They arrived Thursday night, and we picked them up at the airport after Jason's work Christmas party. Friday we spent the morning taking the Coors brewery tour, which was very interesting and highly recommended. On Friday night, we went to eat at Mataam Fez, which is a Moroccan restaurant. This restaurant is an interesting experience because you sit on the floor and eat with your hands. The food is good, but you really go here just for the experience. Jason's dad had fun chatting with one of our waiters about Arabic and culture, which was very interesting.

Saturday, it was snowing when we got up so we decided to stay inside for the day. I kept busy preparing for our party that night, and everyone else was busy doing things around the house. Jason's dad kept asking me what he could do, so I gave him plenty of jobs to keep him busy. He made himself so handy that I hated to see them go on Sunday! He cleaned up our garage so the car would fit in, but the big project on Saturday was our mirror. We had a mirror attached to my dresser but decided that didn't work too well in our house. Jason took the mirror off of the dresser and decided he would be able to cut it, so we bought a nice frame and glass cutting tools. Thank goodness his dad has done this kind of thing before, because he helped so much. It was kind of a scary process, listening to a big piece of glass break, but it looks great. I will post a picture tomorrow of the new, improved mirror on our living room wall. It looks very nice.

Saturday night we had a Christmas party so our friends could see our new home. It was fun, and we had a great turnout! We had all sorts of people over, from church, work, our apartment complex, but everyone seemed to have a good time and enjoy getting to know one another. And I enjoyed showing off our home!

Sunday morning we went to church and then had lunch at Macaroni Grill. We went home and took naps, and then took Jason's parents to the airport to ship them back to Seattle. It really was sad to see them go, but hopefully they will come back very soon. And any of the rest of you are always invited--we love having guests and now have room for you, too!
