Date Days

I love the days I get to spend with Chris. I mean, I love going out to dinner or curling up on the couch for a movie, but I like it more when I can make a whole day out of it. :)
We had a date day on Friday that was fantastic! Since Halloween is RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER we decided to go paint some platters. I was a little sad when I found out the pottery place we went to shut down, but Chris drove me by there anyway to see what took its place.
I was SO excited to find PrissPot's Pottery! When we went in, the place was SO cute. The walls are all different colors & it was decorated nicely. Plus, we were greeted by a 10 month old Shih Tzu. His name was Mattie. I loved him instantly... and he loved my scarf. So I picked out a big plate/platter & Chris picked out a candy bowl & we started painted. Well, I started painting. Chris sketched for over an hour. He was really deep in thought about it.

After about 2 hours, I finished my plate..

I cant wait to see it after its been fired! After I was finished painting and Chris had just gotten started, I played with the dog, made friends with the owner & her mom, and her grandmother, helped fold some brochures ..... Annnd, wait for it.... Got a Saturday job! Whee. I am so excited. A few Saturdays a month Im going to work at PrissPot's Pottery from 10-6. It is a really really fun thing to do as a date night, or a family thing. I love having the pottery afterwards, but what is really fun is spending time together creating something. -Actually one night Id really like to have a girls night there!
After almost 4 hours, Chris finished his bowl. & I LOVE it. I think Im more excited about seeing his after its finished than I am mine!

Everything about this picture makes me smile. We're dead, drinking, & Chris's depiction of Mobley makes me laugh every time. Go check out PrissPot's Pottery on facebook!  We had a great time!!

The only other exciting thing we've done lately is register at Bed, Bath & Beyond. I thought I was going to go CRAZYY! But I really contained myself. I also tried not to register for all of the ridiculously over the top shit. For example, there was this one pillow that I really liked, but WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND BUYS $90 pillows? I registered for the $15.00 pillow. I mean, we registered for the stuff we wanted, we just tried to keep it reasonable. & We didnt register for a whole lot. Mostly because I want our 'main' registry to be HoneyFund. ((Which is an awesome little website that you tell your guests what you want to do on your honeymoon & they can give you money for activities they choose.)) Because we mostly have everything we need for the home. :)

Hope everybody has a great week. & if you dont have anything to do on Thursday night at 8:00 come watch us play kickball! We are going to win and then go to Bojangles! (At least, thats the way its playing out in my head..)

Put your money where your mouth is

First of all, I had to change my blog a little. Somebody reported my blog as being 'abusive' on facebook, so in order to link to my blog, I had to change the url & name. No big deal. If they keep reporting me, Ill keep changing it.

On a happy note...
Chris and I had the BEST date day yesterday. We spent the morning relaxing, playing with Mobley and napping. Around 11 we had a killer workout & ate some lunch. After we showered and lounged for a bit, we watched the Womens World Cup. This wasnt so exciting for me, but I did get to paint my nails. After USA lost, (boo), Chris took me to Bike Shop for an infamous cow tongue taco! YUMM! & Some guac and salsa. It was a delicious dinner. Plus, Chris got to take a look at the back deck. This is important because I am trying to convince Fred to have our rehearsal dinner at Bike Shop. This is possibly the best idea I've ever had. After dinner, we went home, had a glass of wine and curled up on the couch to watch Due Date.
It was a good day. I am so lucky. <3

Yesterday also started the first day of our 4 week bet. For the next 4 weeks, Chris and I are going to see who can lose a higher percentage of body weight. Loser has to pay for whatever winner wants for one day. If I win, I am going to take full advantage. Im thinking we will start the day with kayaking, or paddle boarding, we will have dinner somewhere nice (that serves creme brulee!) & I will def. be getting a massage. & perhaps midnight bowling with friends... we will see. I originally wanted to go bungee jumping, but I was informed that if I make Chris bungee jump if I win, he would make me crawl in a box of spiders if he wins. I decided that it wasnt worth the risk.
If any body has an suggestions on what to add to my perfect day (because I am totally going to win) Id love to hear them!
