My KC Weekend with The Fish (Jill)

We left early Friday afternoon so that we could make it to KC before supper time. We succeeded in arriving there around five-ish or so. The apartment that we stayed in was great. It had two bedrooms a living room, dining room, two baths, and three men, James (brother to Jill), Todd (a friend), and Jordan. (a friend of a friend). We got to go out to eat Mongolian Barbeque on Friday night followed by going to the movies to watch Hitch. (Will Smith and Kevin something) It was a great film. Everyone has to see it if they like comedies with romance in them. (correction, not a romantic comedy, but a comedy with romance). After watching hitch we came back to the apartment to watch The Ring. I had seen it before but it was still a kind of edgy movie for me. Jordan, who had never seen it kept tensing up during the suspense then yelping and jumping onto the couch whenever something would startle him. (He was more amusing to watch than the movie.)
Saturday we slept in way too late, then headed down to shop on the plaza. We went into the discovery channel store (It was so fun) and a couple of clothing stores. (I got a shirt for five bucks and wore it hmmm yesterday.) Then we went into Barns and Noble and got hung up in the books for forever. I was, of coarse, drawn to the classics, art, home decorating, dogs, and plants. It was a wonderful time. Book stores are so relaxing.
Saturday night we went to THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY!!! YUM. Peanut buttercup fudge ripple cheesecake. Amazing. Then later, I saw Napoleon Dynamite for the first time. It is a great film. Napoleon reminded me of a combination of people that I knew from high school.
Sunday we went to church, out to eat, then back to school where I went to the missions conference then watched The Notebook with a bunch of girls and cried like a baby.
All in all it was a wonderful weekend.
I learned a lot about eyes, med school, bachelors, and the history of why Elmdale has its name in rocks on the hill above it. Ask Jill, she will tell you.
