So, it turns out that this weekend wasn't so bad after all. Michelle's sister and brother-in-law, along with his mom, arrived at their new house just as we were getting home from work on Friday. We went over to help them unload their moving truck, then we all came back to our house for takeout Chinese. They spent the night and left the next morning to go back and work on their house some more. My sister must have recognized that we needed a break from everyone else, and she said they didn't need any help unpacking or hanging blinds, so we ended up with the weekend mostly to ourselves. Yay!
Most of the rest of the weekend was spent running errands, doing laundry, and watching the weather. We had some pretty crazy weather here in tornado alley this weekend. We're safe (so far), but there are a lot of people in nearby communities that were hit really hard. One town was completely wiped out. Please pray for those people that lost everything they own in the storms.
Anyway, we also made it out for a really nice lunch at a local restaurant yesterday (appetizers for lunch, anyone?) and we spent some time this afternoon cooking. We made Provencal-Style Chicken and Couscous (recipe in previous post) for dinner, and Jeff made his famous chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Yum!

what--you're not going to share the recipe for those too? they look yum
Sure, I'll post it sometime. Unfortunately, it only seems to work really well in our oven. Everyone else we give the recipe to doesn't have quite the same result as Jeff does when he makes them. Must be some secret ingredient that he puts in. Or perhaps it's the ingredients that never quite make it to the bowl and end up making a mess all over the kitchen...
