now THAT'S refreshing!

I know you already have your date for this weekend planned...

Okay, here are some ideas just in case-or to use next weekend or during the week if you are during the week daters...

HOCKEY GAME!!! The thought makes me happy. I love watching hockey!...and eating nachos.

Sledding. I have said this one before but hey, there is still snow on the ground! Come back and try and make the most gourmet looking hot chocolate you can.

Board games or puzzles. This might be old news to you but we just heard the idea so I will share. You know the game Sequence? When it is your turn to put down a chip, lay your card face down instead of face up...so it can't be seen. You play it like B.S.! Sounds fun huh? (sorry if you've never played that game before.. that probably didn't make any sense :))

Or, you could always go HERE and watch some clips of Brian Regan. :) (watch the coke clips) I love it when I laugh out loud! That's refreshing!

Have a great weekend!

just give in!

So last night we went to a friends house for cards again. We always have such a great time with them! Well, at the end of the night (12:30 AM) we were talking about next month when it will be at our house. Zach and I had talked about an idea to change things up a little and so I suggested it. When I said it, he looked at me and said "what?", just like he had never heard it before! I was so embarrassed and mad at him for not remembering our conversation. I got mad in front of everyone and felt even more dumb. (he didn't think I was really that upset so I must not have relayed how really stupid I felt) Then like ten minutes later he says "oh, yeah, I do remember that". I didn't even acknowledge his comment because I was so bugged.

What a rotten way to end a super fun night!

Well, we went home and I was bothered, we brushed our teeth and readied for bed and he said he was sorry. We talked about it for a minute, I said I was sorry too, but I still didn't feel much better.

We said our prayers and even after him saying "thanks" to Heavenly Father for such a great wife I still didn't feel much better.

Do you know what won me over? We got into bed and then he put his arm up on the pillow and said "can I hold you?". I felt so much better! I guess it was third times the charm or something!

I guess the choice just comes down to being sweet or stubborn. I think you feel better about yourself when you're sweet....and your spouse feels like the luckiest!

The apple for the day is: just give in! choose to forgive instead of feel lousy because of the other option! :)
