This weekend was loads of fun. Since Jon and I couldn’t spend time together for Valentine’s Day, we devoted the entire weekend to spending time together.

Friday we treated ourselves to Red Lobster - despite an hour and a half wait for a table. We got this really good Fondue that had lobster and clam in with the cheese.

Saturday we were suppose to move the furniture into the trailer, but it snowed. So instead we watched movies and went out driving on 149. We spent a good chunk of the day photographing things we found on 149.

We stopped about the time we got hungry and decided to hit up a Chinese buffet. It was super delicious! Then we ended up looking at some cat stuff at Petco and decided we wanted to adopt a kitty! Lastly we hit up a movie, Pan’s Labyrinth, which was very interesting.

Sunday we went and found a kitty we wanted to adopt from the Humane Society. One of the kitties is a sweet little grey kitten, who cannot be adopted until March 17th. We decided to try and get him then too, but they can’t hold it for us, so we have to be there first. So since we aren’t sure we’ll get him we also adopted Roman, a 3 month old orange tabby. They have to him to the vet and then we pick him up, so hopefully we’ll get him by the end of the week.

Heres a template for any of you who are interested!  It’s my first template, so make sure to leave some comments!  Heres a layout I did using this template.

My boyfriend took me to a WWE show on the second of Feburary and I didn’t get any pictures *pout* but I thought I ought to scrap my first WWE experience as I’m sure there will be many more….so this is the first part/element that will soon be on my WWE layout.

In other news, I found out that my prospectus for 410 is due in two weeks, and I still haven’t any idea what I’m gonna write about. I’m thinking a comparison of rock and roll photography between the 50s-80s, or possibly something dealing with the women’s rights stuff.  I also found out that 415 will be having an essay - critical analysis of an image in a museum/gallery instead of an essay test - yay ra, now just need to figure out what to do for that essay too!   Anyway, I think I got everything done that I needed to tonight….Oh keep an eye out for a belated Valentine’s kit coming soon!
