Celebrating Love 2010


Oh how time flies. We have now officially completed four years of marriage. To celebrate we went out to dinner after Steven got home from class. After much deliberation and conflicting suggestions about which restaurant to try we went to the Sandpiper. It was nice, but in the end I'd say one trip there was enough for me. Senang still has my vote for best fine dining in Pocatello, but we went there last year so we thought we should try something new. We had a nice low key evening. A Cold Stone ice-cream cake awaited us at home, yum!

Do you people know that I have a gift for eating Ice-cream? I pound it like it's nobody's business. Two nights later we found ourselves at Cold Stone with come friends who wanted to go. (Funny because I haven't been at all since we moved here until this week.) I was one of the last ones to get my ice-cream. (Cake batter with graham cracker, please!) By the time we found our way to a table I was about two bites away from finishing the entire thing. Once I gorged my last bite I looked around...everyone...still had ice-cream...far above the brim of their cups. I eat like a fat person, I confessed to my husband in the car. (Or rather, I should be fat based on the way I eat.) It's kind of embarrassing. He didn't try to suede me otherwise, but pointed out my metabolism must be amazing. Thanks mom and dad.

We had planned to get away a couple of nights and head to Sun Valley for the weekend. But after booking the hotel I realized that buying a Wii would be simpler and even cost effective! So Steven complied :) I have never in my entire life owned a game console, or even wanted one. But for whatever reason the Wii has won me over. Our living room is laughable, possibly the worst set up imaginable for a Wii. I can practically touch the (ancient, block of a) TV while sitting on our couch. Bowling will be great fun.

I take great pride in this moment. This Wii going to change my life. Especially if we temporarily re-locate to Rexburg this summer, this thing may become my companion. I might even burn off a few of those ice-cream calories, cuz turns out I'm a pretty sweet Wii boxer.
