Hello from Dearborn

So, I found out something about being married, guys don't put up with our silly complaints. Such as, I make the comment a few times that "no one's writing on the blog" and so Aaron starts responding with, "well, then blog something!" OK OK good point. We had an adventure filled weekend. As you may (or may not) know the super bowl was in Detroit this weekend....good and bad. So all week last week they had this thing call the Winter Blast. It's like a winter festival put on by GM, Chrysler Jeep, and Ford in downtown Detroit with games, beer, and gambling all revolving around the super bowl and the NFL. Lot's a free concerts (and some not so free) lots of crazy parties that you have to pay buko bucks to get into and then fun things for commoners like us such as a giant snow slide, snow sled dogs (Siberian Huskies, my favorite dog), ice sculptures, food, and general milling around as at any street fair...only it's 30 degrees outside. Well, Detroit's been a little run down, but since the super bowl was coming the city finally decided to fix it up a little. So Aaron and Brett wanted to go downtown one night to see what at was going on. We parked at a mall near us that offered free parking and a 2 dollar shuttle downtown...we waited in line to get on the shuttle for 1 1/2 hours! It was amazing to see a deserted downtown turned into a packed full festival! We ran into (it's a small world) some people from church and hung out, buying gyrros (greek food) and watching a segment of a free Clint Black concert (yeah I'm sure that's the only country music concert I will ever get my husband to go to). Then when we decided to head home around 1130 we had to wait in line another 45 minutes to get back...and honestly their were more people arriving than leaving. It really was crazy. They say that every hotel in the greater Detroit area is booked all the way to Toledo Ohio!!!! I guess that's good for our economy!
So Saturday was the adventure of attempting to take things back to bed bath and beyond...and didn't have much luck at the store near me so Laura and I are going to try another store out by her. They only took back what was on our registry for cash and not other stuff! I was a little frustrated, but such is life I suppose. We'll try again.
Well, now that I've rambled on forever I'll let you all go. Love you all tons!
