shower curtains, dance dance revolution, and road trips

I have so many things to talk about, and instead of writing 3 separate posts, I will overwhelm you with it all at once!

1. SHOWER CURTAINS!
But, it all started with plants, plants that Jason bought me for Valentines day.
I needed to buy pots, and dirt to plant the new plants in.
So, to Target I went with a gift card I had received for my birthday from 2 great friends!
I had a limited amount of time to shop because I needed to get to work, but I used all of that time to browse!
And browsing at Target can get a girl in trouble!
I found 2 out of the 3 pots I needed, and the dirt.....
....and, a memory card reader, a pair of pants (on sale), shirt, a new shower curtain, shower curtain liner, and jeweled shower curtain rings. (all on sale)
I was excited about all of my purchases, but that shower curtain...so excited!
The excitement about it goes way back, 3 years ago to when Jason and I were registering for wedding presents.
Supposedly I was picking out all of the items and Jason just wanted to be able to make a decision about the things we were registering for.
So, he got to pick out the shower curtain (i know, i'm so nice!)
At the time the shower curtain was fine.
I really did like it, but I was forced to bring it to the UP with us when we moved.
It was dirty, it had paint on it, and I had to cut off about a foot of the bottom when we moved here, and it was very plasticy.
So, needless to say, it was time for a new one!
And I love it!

2. DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION
Our play station bit the dust!
We don't really play video games all that much, but we do watch a lot of movies.
Since our play station is our DVD player, we felt it imperative to purchase a new one.
Since school was canceled due to inclement weather that we never saw all day long, we decided it was a perfect opportunity to blow some cash on a new play station.
Back to Target we went, to the electronics department, picked out our shiny new play station, and a new game just for me.
Jason would have bought it for me for my birthday, but he didn't want anyone thinking that he was buying it for himself!
I made sure to tell the salesman that the Dance Dance Revolution game and mat were for me!
As soon as we got home, Jason hooked up the play station, and i got ready to christen the brand new dance pad.
Jason got his camera ready and I got ready to dance. (I deleted the video he took)
And dance i did.
And that just made Jason laugh even more. Really, he wouldn't stop watching me.
And of course, he had to try it too!

3. ROAD TRIP!
Spring break is just around the corner, a much needed corner!
Our original spring break plan was to make a loop starting in the UP, going south to Grand Rapids, then Indy, then Wilmore, KY, then up to Chicago, then further up to WI, and then back to Marquette.
INSTEAD....we are coming home to Grand Rapids for 10 WHOLE DAYS!
Jason needs to have time to write his thesis.
I need to spend some quality time with my sister before she moves to Florida.
Also, it will be nice to have 10 days at home with family, with no holidays, no weddings, nothing planned!
We are so excited to be able to spend time with our families and friends we haven't seen in a while.
So we will see everyone soon!
