Tournaments...two of a kind!

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile...but I've not really been doing much. Shawn and I have been getting settled into our apartment and we really like it! We still haven't gotten around to taking pictures of Oak Park, but we'll get to it soon! I promise :)

On May 15th Eric was in Chicago for his band field trip and we were gonna try to meet up with him at Medieval Times. Shawn has always wanted to go I haven't been in a really long time, so we drove out to Schaumburg to meet up with his school group. Medieval Times was pretty cool...but not worth the money in my opinion. The food could have been way better, but it wasn't bad. They certainly are stingy with the drinks though! Practically had to beg for a refill of my soda! The show was pretty neat though...would have liked to have seen more of the actual battling between the knights but when the did joust it was cool. Shawn definitely wanted to be a knight when he left, so he did by a little wooded sword. Now I can pretend to kill him at home! Don't think its anything we'd like to go see again anytime soon, but we had a good time!

This past weekend Al and Theresa were up for a visit because Al was trying out for the NFL at one of the regional combines. The combine was in Naperville at North Central College. We had a really great time with them for the weekend, which we always do when we're all together, but it has been such a long time since we've really gotten to hang out we were really excited to see them! It was a pretty laid back weekend, considering Al had a lot on his mind and needed to rest up for the combine. The combine went REALLY well! Al did an awesome job! He exceeded or met all of the requirements for quarterback to reach the Elite Combine in California this June and the guy who runs the combines told Al that he was really impressed with his throwing and abilities. We just found out yesterday that Al did make it to the Elite Combine...so he's off to the tryouts in June. Shawn, Theresa and I are hoping we can go out with him for moral support (plus it would just be awesome) but due to money issues I think we're gonna have to sit home and be nervous instead! He'll do great though and hopefully one of the recruiters from the NFL will like him give him a job! We're hoping Chicago or Miami will take an interest (seeing has he's a quarterback and they both need quarterback!) but really any interest would be awesome for him!
On a side note...but an important side note...Shawn got a job! He is working at a camera shop here in Oak Park. It is actually just about a block and a half away, so it only takes him about 5 minutes to walk to work! So far he really likes it and I think it'll be really great for him! Yay! I'm working this weekend but we'll be home in Muncie next weekend for Sara's graduation. Anyone wants to see us while we're home, let one of us know!
