weekend recap

Besides making some major progress on the front hallway project, David and I managed to squeeze in a few other activities this weekend:

On Friday night we had dinner at Saigon, before heading over to the history theater to see This Side of Paradise, the story of F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda. I thoroughly enjoyed the story, and since I knew little of Fitzgerald and his wife, it has sparked an interest in doing further reading on them, or at the very least rereading The Great Gatsby and This Side of Paradise. Following the play we walked around downtown looking for a bar we could catch the end of the Wild game and a drink. We ended up in Lowertown St. Paul, after walking by 413 on Wacouta- where we held our wedding reception- at The Bulldog. 

Saturday was full of little chores- grocery shopping, going to the bank, a trip to home depot. We each went on a long, 7 mile, run. I needed a long-ish trial run to see if I would be ready for the Mississippi 10-miler on May 26th- and after this weekend I think it's safe to say I'll be ready. Now that I have made this public proclamation, you can hold me to it, and demand to see pictures of the race come May 27th. For dinner we enjoyed chicken and dumplings, on hopefully one of the last cool evenings of the spring.

Sunday started off nice and leisurely with a little sleeping in, followed by church. Then David was off to work the Wild play-off game (we won!!), while I went on a quick run and made another trip to home depot (projects around our house rarely require just one trip to the hardware store). In the evening we took advantage of the warm weather by having a small bonfire of all the sticks in our yard, and grilling some delicious portobello burgers. 

Such a nice, productive weekend makes work going to work Monday morning awfully hard!

Now, enough of my rambling, here are the pics!
