Looks like you are enjoying your time together. I spent this weekend with Shanna, helping her organize each room in her house. I think I'm going to have to go back, as we didn't get finished. Kurt and I are going to the movies with Andy next Sunday, afternoon. He told me it is a surprise movie, so we will have to see what Andy picks for his movies. Hope it isn't too suspenseful.
Talk with you after the movies!
