Last night I got a call from Tana’s letting me know I didn’t have to come in. It was nice to have a night off with Shan because our schedules have been completely opposite for the most part. So we tried to fit everything into one night. My mom finally came over to check out our place. I think she liked the female influence of the home because she seemed really excited about it and hugged Shan. From there we met my folks, my grandma, and my sister and John at the Garwood(1) for dinner. Shan and I put on our boots and walked through the field(2) to get there. It was so nice to trundle through the snow on such a nice night. Big thanks to grandma for dinner.
From there we decided to take advantage of the gift certs we got for the movies! We saw “Love Actually”(3), and it was actually a really good movie if you can get over Hugh Grant as himself again. Got a call from Gould after and we met him and Toph at G-Wood to watch Bry’s game(4). Nice to hang out with Toph somewhere we could sit and talk. We said our goodbyes to Toph who heads back this morning and called it a night.
As far as I know there will be a get together at the Vernon’s this year for New Years. Shan and I are going to hang out with Tara and Paul for dinner and go there sometime after. Should be a doozie.
(1) – I think I posted this already but possibly the best milkshake in the city.
(2) – One of the coolest things about living with Shan on Scotland Ave, is that I spent my childhood in that area visiting my grandma. There was so much nostalgia just walking around Earl Grey and skating at the rink there as an adult. Even just walking through the field there on the way to the Garwood brought up so many memories. You can see my grandma’s old house from the field there. My mom grew up in that house and likely spent so much time in the field there.
(3) – I would guess this is Shan’s favorite Christmas movie. Thought it was cool to pinpoint the exact date we first saw this one together.
(4) – No idea what game this was? Normally I would be playing if Bry was playing, especially at G-Wood.
