Brittany Visits

If you have been reading Brittany's blog, you would know that she has spent a week in DC for training and still has one more to go. When she was talking to her company setting up travel plans they were going to fly her out to DC and then home and then back to DC and then back home. When I found out this plan, I suggested that instead of flying to her home, she fly to my home. This worked out well and so I got to see her this past weekend. She was able to fly in 4 hours early since training ended early. So I picked her up from the airport and took her to my house. We started the weekend by making fudge. It was in such great demand that we were supposed to make a double batch. Things went pretty smoothly. We were afraid the mixing bowl was going to be too small so we decided to pour the chocolate into the hot mixture. In order to do this, we pulled out one cup of the marshmallow fluff so that we could add the rest into the hot mixture. After finishing with putting the marshmallow fluff into the hot mixture I set the plastic container down and poured in the chocolate. Oops. I put the plastic on the still hot burner and melted the bottom off. That was unfortunate but we were able to clean it all up. The longer lasting problem was that we had one cup of marshmallow fluff without a home. Half a cup was still in the measuring cup and the other half was on a piece of chocolate wrapping. We decided that we could eat ice cream sundaes with marshmallow fluff on them later. We made dinner, spaghetti, and played some Wii, but Brittany was too cold for ice cream. The marshmallow fluff sat on the counter.

We went to bed and the next morning enjoyed a relaxing morning. For lunch we relaxed a little less and went on a bike ride to Qdoba. We got back and got ready to go to the college for dinner with my parents and to hang out with some friends up there. We brought some fudge up with us and gave it to Christy, Brittany's RC while in Howard, my brother, and Karen. We were surprised to find out that another friend was flying in that night and was coming up to the college as well for the night. So we went to the pub to wait until Marcia arrived. All in all, it was a good reunion. We drove home and went to bed. By the way, the marshmallow fluff was still on the counter.

I took Brittany to the airport and it timed out so that I could meet my grandma for breakfast immediately after dropping Brittany off. We had a good breakfast and I drove her home. That pretty much concluded the excitement of my weekend. And the marshmallow fluff is still sitting on the counter.
