Saturday was the Spa Party. It was AWFUL! We wrote a complaint email to the company the next morning and are waiting to hear back and hopefully get refunded. The guy who was giving massages was creepy looking, nice but had the face of a serial killer. The woman who did both mani-pedis was awful. She looked like she rolled out of bed to get there and didn't bother to change out of her sweats! She also gave the most half-assed mani-pedi ever! No soaking, not massaging our feet, no cutting of the nails or cuticles. Uhh, I'm really hoping they refund us because it was a TON of wasted money.
Sunday I went shopping with my mom to get work clothes. Got some great deals at JCP. Then we went back home and I snuggled and watched football. Next weekend looks like it is going to be a lot better.
The reception was fantastic, though. It was on the new Royal Carribbean cruise ship, the Allure of the Seas, which is BEAUTIFUL! We had sushi and cake pops and amazing bruchetta. The food was incredible, and BF got to hob-knob with some of the most important people in the USMC. It was a celebration in honor of commissioning a new USMC/Navy ship, so the Commandant of the USMC was there. Very big deal! It was my first military event, so I was a little nervous. It went well, though! I met a General from the Colombian Army who was there at the invitation of the Commandant, and he and his wife were a little isolated as they didn't speak English, so I introduced myself and had a nice chat. I mentioned that I'd be going to Cartagena for work in a few months, and he asked if I was bringing my husband - I said that he was my boyfriend, and that I hoped he could come with me. And the General said, "If you go to the romantic old city of Cartagena, he will no longer be just your boyfriend." Haha!
Even though it was a ton of work, we had two really ncie dinners with my parents. Plus BF and my dad did some bonding, i think.

Then I cooked my meals for the upcoming week and played some video games after I did homework. All in all a pretty low key weekend.

I know! I think it has to be one of the best presents ever! I'm not sure if this is my Christmas present or not. Either way, not much will be under the tree from my parents.

Ditto. I want one but with a gravel driveway I don't think it would end well.

@ Heather - was it is Premier Jewelry? If it wasn't then it doesn't count.
@ CD - Your BF will getchu on that phone plan girl! He'z gunna make that paper rain. :-) Also, I'm sorry about your spa party it sounded like it was going to be awesome. I hope you guys get a refund.
@ Cate - That sounds amazing. I often wondered how getting married on a cruise ship would be. Apparently it would be awesome
@PPE - Congrats on working towards your weight loss goal! Nothing like cute underwear for motivation.
My weekend was primarily uneventful but I was happy for that. We relaxed a lot and did a little shopping but that's it. I'm lame, I don't care. lol.
Friday - BF surprised me with a clean apt, wine when I got home, music and candles. I thought he was only making me dinner!
Saturday was a lazy day with an impromptu tour of the couty and were houses were for sale haha. Went to a co worker's house for a party, had fun.
Sunday was great. Went grocery shopping, cleaned out bf's apt kitchen. trashed a lot, brought a box over to OUR apt and took a box to goodwill. Some drama with his ex that I hope he takes care of today (ie she won't let him see his kids for Christmas). We also watched HP: Chamber of Secrets. BF only has 4 more movies to watch and we can see the NEW MOVIE!

Alright, I guess that counts. I did love your headpiece.
I wish I had the need for a snowblower! It never snows here
[QUOTE]I had an amazing weekend walking every inch of my old college campus with BF. He had the ring with him the. entire. time. I caught glimpses of that little blue box several times. (Loopy, as hard as I tried, I couldn't force myself to believe it was just his keys). Still NEY though... grrr...

Seriously he had it with him? That is nuts! I hope that you're staying calm (as calm as you can)

I don't want to make this worse or anything, but your BF is killing ME here.
Oh, probably kill you too :P
But it wasn't a ring! It was the keys to your new..... pony!
Ugh I need to chill out.
And...we have a snowblower. But no driveway to snow blow. My parents gave it to us last year because they no longer need it, but it's just in storage until we have a house.
The condo company is really slow getting our parking lot cleaned out too, Loopy (but it's a whole parking lot, so we can't exactly shovel it ourselves). They're generally fairly useless and we have absolutely no amenities in our complex, but because we're just renters there, it doesn't bother me quite so much (I'm not the one paying the fees).
Life is good today.
[QUOTE]LOL @ Bren! Pony, ring, whatever it is, I don't care at this point. I just want to be able to tell our parents and friends that we're engaged. Is that so much to ask?
Posted by Elle1036[/QUOTE]
Nope. It would drive me nuts too. It won't make you feel any better, but I'm waiting to find out if I was accepted into the Spring Break Program. Just another 4 and a half hours to find out...
