Relaxing Weekend

This weekend was just what the doctor ordered. Both Gianni and I got in a bit of talking time with our parents, which was nice. But, primarily, we spent a ton of time sleeping! This was the first weekend in about a month that we've been able to sleep in as long as we wanted both days. Saturday, we got some errands done and went grocery shopping before going to see Catching Fire with Lily and Jonathan downtown. It was fantastic! I love the second Hunger Games book. I think it's the best story. I found it more interesting than the last movie, and I like that it gets into the politics a little. On Sunday, we cleaned the apartment a little, and Maria and Matthew came over to play Settlers of Catan. We played like 4 games. It was funny because Maria won practically all the games the last time we played, and she didn't win at all this time. We got pizza at Pizza School with them for dinner, and got some snacks for dessert at the convenience store. All in all, it was a great weekend. Just what we needed. I feel at least a bit more relaxed. Also, our bathroom is finally fixed! The maintenance man fixed our sink pipe, both drains are cleared of hair, the shower is in now mounted on a wall, and it's all clean. The boiler also got fixed so that it, hopefully, doesn't drain water all over everything on our porch area like it had been. I'm really glad everything in the apartment is finally settled.

Gianni and I  breaking the boards

Almost forgot! We basically forced Master Hwang to test us for our orange belts on Thursday. He definitely told us that is when he was going to do it, but when we came in on Thursday, ready to go, he said next week. We complained a bit, and I think he realized he told us the wrong thing, so he felt bad. In any case, we tested for our orange belt and passed! Gianni didn't make any mistakes, but I made 2 :( WOOPS! I know the forms too. I just got a little nervous. Also, he sprang a sparing thing on us that we hadn't learned yet and breaking boards! Granted they are plastic boards that have breaks in them, so they don't take much force to break, but still! We were like, "umm....Master Hwang, we've never done any of this before. You didn't teach us." But we passed, so we're officially orange belts now!!!
