D.D.R. and E.M.

It has already been quite an eventful weekend. Last night my friend Wendy and her boyfriend Larry invited us over for dinner and DDR (Dance Dance Revolution for the uneducated). It turns out that KC is remarkably good for a beginner. I remember that this was the case with Jake when we did it at the Turpins for the first time. It must be the part of a male's brains that helps with this skill. I would need a little practice for us to be able to really compete. We got quite the workout and had a really good time challenging ourselves. Wendy is an experienced dancer so this is right up her ally. I think I'd like Karaoke Revolution. I hear it's pretty entertaining.

So this Morning, we got up relatively early to meet up with a KC's friend who is in town. He used to live here, but I guess he never saw the Eastern Market during that time. We thought it would be fun to have breakfast there. It's pretty close to our house, only about 5 metro stops away, so we don't mind taking the trip. Besides the breakfast there is very good, and always has a long line of hungry waiting customers. We got the french toast (during the winter it is egg nog french toast) and The Brick, what they call their breakfast sandwich. They also have awesome blueberry buckwheat pancakes and Don's friend went on the wild side and ordered a menu item call The Croaker. He thought the name was cool. It ended up being deep fried fish with grits etc. and he really liked it. We were once again satisfied by our delicious, warm, breakfast. And it was an extremely nice day today for the first time in weeks. So sunny I actually felt hot sitting there eating. What a welcomed change. There are a lot of things to buy at the market--art of all mediums, produce, many styles of jewelry, purses, soaps, and other hand made merchandise. But I feel like I can't ever settle on something to buy unless I have a focus in mind before I get there. It is They are so proud offun to walk around and look at all the things people invest so much of their lives in to selling these things. their projects and are so enthusiastic to give you any details if you show the tiniest bit of interest.

Now we are spending the rest of our weekend with stake conference sessions starting tonight, where KC will be in the musical number. Enjoy the sunshine everyone.
