Not a whole lot exciting things this week ;) ;)

1. Had a legit WHOLE day of football on Saturday. Started watching game day at 7 am on Saturday, and then continued to watch through 6:00... And then went out to watch the late games at Wolf Creek and Chuy's! It was a beautiful thing.

2. Sunday I had my first ever massage. I had a shower massage treatment... then a full body hour massage! It was the most wonderful thing ever!!!!

4. Graded 120 notebooks and 120 tests on Tuesday :(

5. Cooked my Oma's Nasi Goreng that my mom taught me to make while she was out here. It is turning out to be one of Brady's favorites. He loves the Sambal Badjak to put on top of it!!!! I am turning out to be quite the cook. I now cook dinners for us four days a week!!!!!

book club

PLEASE... if you are a reader... or are trying to get into reading... I have an online book club. We just started reading The Girl Who Played With Fire. Or maybe, you aren't a reader... but know someone who is... let them know. It is nice to read a nice variety of books. Right now it is just my mom, my Aunt, and myself. And we would love to get more involved to get a variety of thoughts on the books! Let me know!

Five for Fridays

So, it was a very exhausting week.... but it was a good one!!!!! Or at least was a great weekend... which led to the exhausting week. 1) Went to the VHS football game tonight and bought myself a new shirt! When we left at the end of the third quarter, Valencia was up 42 - 7. (And this was supposed to be the game that they were "tested" on...) Welp, looks like its going to be a good football season for the Vikings!

2) Flew back to Michigan for approximately a total of 30 hours or so. But was able to spend some quality time with my mom! I love you mom thanks for everything. (You to dad!!!!)

3) I know I already posted this on my 365 blog.... But seriously... how cool are these undies. Ordered these from Victoria's Secret last week, and they came in JUST AFTER we left for Michigan... so they were waiting for me when we got back!!!! Yup!!! I am wearing a pair right now ;)

4) Glee is becoming one of my FAVORITE shows. It started back up this week, and I loved the first episode of season 2. If you have not watched it.... You should try... If you LOVE music it is the best... It's on Tuesday nights at 8!

5) And of course... the day that started off the week for me.... Michigan State versus Notre Dame. We flew out for this game.... It has been six years now since Brady and myself first "met." Which was at the ND MSU game six years ago!!! We go back to MSU's campus every other year for this game.... This one was a CRAZY one... back and forth, back and forth... until it goes into overtime... ND kicks a field goal.... so then michigan state goes to kick a field goal to send it into double overtime... but wait.... our kicker is not kicking it.... what?!?!?! It's a fake... Michigan State TD to win it in overtime!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!

And then with some crazy news... a half hour later, Coach Dantonio has a heart attack... That was definately a weekend of highs and lows for a spartan fan. But, Mark Dantonio was released from the hospital on Tuesday and is doing well.

Notre Dame weekend 2010
