When I Say Santa, You Say Claus!

Nick and I had an incredibly wonderfully anniversary weekend and I was stoked that the weather held out enough where we didn't have any trouble driving places.

On Friday, I drove up there after work at my internship site, and we chilled and talked for about an hour while waiting for our friend, Kit, to show up. He came, we went and got dinner (Chicken Fried Steak FTW!), and then went back to Nick's apartment to watch classic episodes of Invader Zim.

On Saturday, Nick and I woke up and went over to Krista's Kitchen, which is a coffee shop/bakery in town. I had the most delicious almond scone that I've ever had in my life and it paired really wonderfully with my hazelnut latte. After that we snuggled for a bit until it was time for us to catch the matinee showing of 2012. It's definitely a good movie if you like to watch things blow up. Following the movie we drove up to the Wisconsin Dells to grab dinner at Ginza of Tokyo. I had the sushi dinner and Nick had the breaded oysters. Even though we ate in the restaurant style dining portion of the restaurant, I was still able to see what one of the Hibachi chefs was doing so that made for a bit of fun on my end :)

Today, we headed downtown to see Canadian Pacific Holiday Train and we had a total blast :) There was a rapping Santa Claus that made me smile with kid-like glee and a great band with loads of holiday spirit. I took pictures, of course, and a few of those are under the cut. We also watched Dollhouse and let me just say, that Summer Glau was brilliantly cast for her role. And I love Victor more and more each time I see him on the show.

Now that I'm back in my apartment, I get to write a 2-page paper on how I thought my first semester at Internship went. It shouldn't be hard of course, but I may have a tough time deciding what to keep in and what to keep out.

Cutest Couple Ever
Chilly Sweethearts - Nick and Me (I can safely say that we were doing okay in the 30 degree weather at first, but then my toes got a bit uncomfortable).

And finally, because Nick and I sometimes have the maturity of 12 year old boys. *snort*
*giggles*

Yay, flickr pictures actually load for me! (Photobucket and Tinypic won't from my wireless for some reason.) That picture of you and Nick is GREAT. So cute. I'm so happy for you that you had a great anniversary. Mmmm scone. Yay rapping Santa!

Aww choo-choo! I have like, a 4-year-old-boy-like love for trains, idk why. Anyhow, you two are so cute! (and wintery clothes! love your scarf & hat, btw.) Glad you had such a fun anniversary. :)

Trains are awesome no matter how old you are.

Unless of course, they remind you of forgetting your flash drive. :P

Hee! Winter clothes makes things so much better.

And thanks :)

Totally! Though as a child I think I was secretly a boy because I loved trains and dinosaurs and those were always 'boy' things. Pshaw.

Thanks for the cute v-gift!

I was into "boy" things too.

And you're welcome!

I saw a few from the paper where Nick works and they said at the event that they're hoping to get back on the night schedule for its visits.

I'd love to see your pics though!
