Creative Date Night

Marc and I were trying to figure out what to do after we went out to dinner this one night. And I remembered an idea that is in this book I was given with FHE ideas for Newlyweds. There's some cheesy stuff in there but I decided we'd try this one idea out. We went to Target and had 20 minutes to split up and pick out something under $4 that would be fun to do. When we met back up at the register he had picked these juggling balls and I bought a baseball bat. So we went home and tried to learn to juggle...and my idea was to compete in seeing how many tennis balls we could hit against the door into the bucket. We really sound like dorks, I know, but it was actually pretty fun:)
Marc did pretty good at juggling...I was pretty good at getting hit in the head by balls I'd forgotten I'd thrown up in the air.

My Life With Movies

I am going to pick up Marc at the airport tonight and he will be home for good from training! It has felt like a VERY long total of 6 weeks and I am excited to have him home. In the time he has been gone I have watched more movies than one can imagine...mostly due to feeling sick, and then probably some laziness too. But let's not call it lazy, let's call it doing study and research for my pursuit in the film industry...yeah, that sounds much better:) So I would say if anyone wants some movie recommendations to ask me...but I don't recommend movies:)...I decided a long time ago that I didn't want to have the awkwardness that comes from giving rave reviews about a movie to a friend...and then they watch it and hate it. So while I don't recommend movies, I will say that I personally LOVE the movie Blades of Glory (Will Ferrell and John Heder)...I was laughing so hard I was crying through so much of that movie. And another one I have added to "my favorites" list is called Little Manhattan. It's so cute and funny...a story about these little kids having their first real crushes on each other. But anyway, no one watch either of those movies on account of me:) (Even though they are really really good).

Ward Shopping

Another thing going on is we have to move for Marc's job...his manager wants us to move closer to the territory he covers. Well, there are actually several cities that cover A LOT of ground that we could choose from that are within the perameters of where we're supposed to move. So I've started with ward shopping...on Sundays I visit wards and give the members 30 seconds each to tell me why we should move into their ward....:)j/k...no but really, today I did go visit 3 wards...that means I went to 3 sacrament meetings...yes, it felt like a marathon...and 2 of the wards had the exact same high council speakers...that got a little hard the 2nd time around...but I talked to the Bishops, found out ward boundaries, and tried to scout out if there are any couples left that are our age that haven't moved to Arizona! It's a little preliminary to say, but I do like the city Torrance...so if that means anything to any of you, we might end up there (it is within 1 mile of the beach!!!)
