Yep, we're back in Ocean for the weekend celebrating my dad's birthday. Monday is a holiday for my job and Brian is taking the day off, so we can enjoy a longer weekend.
When we got here Friday night, Callie was really excited to show me her dress (the first time I've seen it in person). For those who haven't seen it yet, here it is (Clay, don't look!):

I know y'all didn't really think that was really going to happen...
Please, people.
I will say, though, that the dress is absolutely gorgeous.
As an aside, mom and dad are coming up to Knightdale next weekend and we're off to find a bridesmaid dress. Unfortunately, Callie can't come because she has to be in Morehead to take a nursing school admissions test. :-( However, she and mom have done some previous in-store research and we've all got some good ideas online. We're under strict orders to send her lots of pictures on the camera phone; gotta love technology!
Yesterday, we pretty much took it easy and chilled out around the house. We went to Musashi's for sushi/hibachi. And, it was INCREDIBLE! For some reason, the ginger dressing on their house salads is so good! Mom and I split three rolls: a rainbow roll, a New Bern roll, and a spicy yellowtail roll; and then, of course, we each got 2 pieces of salmon nigiri. Everything was so amazing. Mom and I were commenting that we've never had salmon that fresh and good in our life. Brian had a hibachi'd filet that he is still raving about today. We were all very pleased.
After we got home, we watched the new Indiana Jones movie, which was quite good and then we got suckered into some shows on MLB TV. They have a series on the greatest seasons and last night's was 1995. For some reason, Brian wasn't as interested in that show as we were... (GO BRAVES!)
Today we're back into taking it easy mode...chilling out until the football games start this afternoon.
Oh yeah and the other breaking news: I am starting NutriSystem! I'm very excited about it. I ordered the stuff yesterday and it should arrive either later this week or early next. The program I ordered was "NutriSystem Advanced Never the Same 4-Week w/ Weekends Off" (http://tinyurl.com/axepbc). My parents are also doing the same program; mom and dad did it two winters ago and had a lot of success. So we're all pretty excited. Brian is also intrigued, but he's pretty picky with food. So he's going to try some of my entrees and then we ordered an "add-on" package of Italian dinners that has food he might like (http://tinyurl.com/8b7gge). So, then, if he likes the food, we can order a package for him. Pretty exciting stuff.
So sorry for all y'all that you're probably going to have to listen to my highs and lows! :-) Hello, support group!
And, finally, Callie recently started a blog with her trials and tribulations with the wedding and nursing school that y'all might be interested in reading: http://callisonanne.blogspot.com/.
