weekend: Saturday
Last week I had a dream where someone cut off all my hair, and I was really really upset because I'd wanted to have it long for my wedding. (I do really need a haircut, though.)
Saturday was a really nice day. F and I met up with my parents, F's parents, F's Uncle Jim, and F's Aunt Ambry, Uncle Jerry, and cousin David, to give everybody a tour of the college campus where F now works. We were worried it might rain, but the weather turned out to be gorgeous. We met everyone at the train station, and then walked over to show the exterior of our new apartment--but we ran into the previous/current tenant, who was stopping by to pick up a few things, and he graciously let us in so our families could look around. The new apartment received Momproval from both sides. Then we walked up to campus and F gave a nice tour. He included on his tour normal stuff, like his building and his office, and also pretty places--the campus is an arboretum--and possible wedding spaces. I'm now really liking the idea of having the wedding on the campus. There are some really cool spaces and I can picture how nice it would be. So that was exciting. We still have more research to do, though. After walking around campus, we drove over to Media for lunch at the Iron Hill Brewery. I had planned ahead and made reservations for ten--go me.
And then I went home and read my book for most of the rest of the day, except for when I ate two vegetarian corn dogs for dinner and watched The Mummy: Curse of the Dragon Emperor. It was a very silly movie, and it bothered me that they found some other chick to play Evie (why not just kill her off?), but there were some cool effects. I liked the yeti, and the final battle (which was the whole point of the movie anyway). Overall it was a fun movie to watch. I'm tentatively looking forward to the unavoidable next installment, to be set in Peru.
