A "Strange" Visit

Curtis and Catherine Strange came to visit us this weekend and it was great to get to hang out with them. The last time we saw them was at their wedding on New Year's Eve. They have since settled into their apartment in Dallas and are doing well. Catherine is an occupational therapist and Curtis works for an insurance company, although his real talent and passion is carpentry work. He has made some really incredible things. Yesterday morning we went to my school for the first annual BBQ cook-off. It was a volunary contest and I went to support some of my classmates. We had some yummy brisket, sausage, ribs, and chicken. Afterwards we went downtown to the Old Pecan Street Festival where there were tons of booths and vendors selling local artwork, food, etc. We all got a little too much sun. For dinner we went to one of our favorite Tex-Mex places, and we finished off the night seeing Mission Impossible III at the movie theater. Chris and I hadn't seen a movie at theater at least since last year, so we really had a good time. The massive theater screen was somewhat larger than our 15" laptop screen that we usually watch movies on at home. We both admitted to each other that while the movie was starting, we had to overcome nausea a couple times from how big it was. This morning we went to Zilker Park and played Frisbee for awhile. We had planned to grill out for lunch, but we were not hungry since Catherine and I fixed such a big breakfast for everyone. She made homemade salsa and migas. I made my mom's famous pancake recipe.
