All About Us

This last month has been one of adjustments, changes, and lots of dirty diapers :)

Through it all, it has been great to get back into date nights again ... Just a few additional preparations are needed. Our first date after Munchkin joined our family was a wonderful dinner at La Jolla Groves and a short walk around the Riverwoods (and playing in Blickenstaff's). Munchkin was lucky to have 3 wonderful babysitters that night (thank you Rs!).

If you're looking for a fun atmosphere with good food (though a bit pricey), we recommend La Jolla :)

Such a fun place to go! With all the random candies you could want!

For our second date, Mr. planned a hilarious night with Humor U (BYU's stand-up comedy group).

"Not like the girl who comes into class and says, 'I am so fat!' 
while all the other girls immediately validate her and say she is not. 
All the while loathing her inside and screaming, 
'you are a size 0 - that's the absence of EVERYTHING!'"

"Most people use congrats when they are congratulating someone on something. 
I feel like the rest of that word is neglected. 
So from now on I am just going to say, 'Tulations!'"

[With a handicap] "I feel like I get away with a lot. So much so that I feel like Obama."

"People often have a hard time understanding me, so they often just say 'uh-huh.'

Instead of getting mad, I just have some fun with them!

'So, have you kissed a moose?'

'Uh-huuh'"

Munchkin had some wonderful aunts come to watch him this time!

In addition to these fabulous dates planned by the Mr., he has also helped me out a ton! Even with his 2 part-time jobs and a full-time college student, he still comes home and holds. Munchkin, time with me, and helps around the house. Last night I came home from a walk to find he got out of class early and was washing the windows & blinds, dusting, and vacuuming the bedroom (all tasks I have been trying to do for some time)! He is the best!
