So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye.

I woke up a little bit before 5:00 this morning, so that I could get ready to drop Mike off at the airport with Jeff. We left a little bit before 6:00. I was a little tired, since I only got about five or six hours of sleep last night. I was planning on sleeping until closer to 5:30, but I was awoken by Jason's PS3 game that he was playing.

Jeff only got about four hours of sleep, so I was a little worried that he might fall asleep driving or something. It takes about 45 minutes to an hour to get to the airport from our house - depending on traffic. Thankfully, there aren't many people on the roads at 6:00 AM on a Saturday morning!

I was pretty sad that he had to leave. It would have been nice to have him stay a bit longer. He's a very sweet guy and the only other normal person that I have to talk to! Jeff and Jason are both lunatics. :) Just kidding. They are a ton of fun to be around.

Last night, Mike treated us to a German restaurant - complete with two lederhosen clad men playing the accordion and tuba. It was loud, but so much fun. We tried some new foods and even had dessert, even though we were already full. We each ordered a different type and shared them all. My entree was German Meatloaf (forgot the actual name) and for dessert, I got Sauerkraut chocolate cake. Delicious!

The restaurant was in downtown Glendale. It is a gorgeous little place with old buildings to look at. I'd love to live there. They had the entire square decorated for Christmas, so we drove through it. It was absolutely gorgeous. I've never seen anything like it.

Since we had time to kill, we also went to a little antique/furniture store called The Madhatter. They had a ton of interesting things there. I love looking at stuff like that. I could have spent all day there just browsing. :)

Jeff's dad told me more stories about Jeff while he was growing up. We had a lot of good laughs last night. I look forward to the next time we can get together!

We are going to go see a movie pretty soon. We haven't done a whole lot today. We fell asleep after we got home and slept until noon or a little after. The guys went and picked up lunch. Other than that, we've pretty much just been watching Jason play PS3. I'm suffering from cabin fever, that's for sure!

It was beautiful and sunny out today. I wish that we could have went hiking or something. Jeff wants to go to Tombstone one of these days, and so do I. We'll see, though.

I am going to go get ready to leave - FINALLY!

Love,

Ash
