There is a fairly new $2 dollar movie theater in Federal Way and it has become our hub for date nights. Of course the movies are not fresh out, but we sure don't mind the oh...lets say $7 ticket price difference. One night we took Eric with us to see 27 dresses. Then, we each got a Hot Dog ($1 each - not gourmet...but good) and decided to go for another movie - National Treasure 2. We got popcorn as well.
The total: 3 people + 2 movies + 3 hot dogs + 1 popcorn = $20.
Having a great time and knowing the entire night is only $20 = PRICELESS.
Henry Wienhard's Root Beer or Cream Soda
This is a new favorite treat we like once in a while during movies.
Sunday Evening Walks
Since the weather has started to become nicer we have started a new habit of taking Sunday Evening Walks around the neighborhood. Sunday evenings here have been so peaceful. It is nice for us to get out after a long, busy, chaotic week and enjoy the flowers and birds in the neighborhood. It has also been a great time for us to be able to talk and sort out feelings and plans we've been having. There is nothing like walking hand-in-hand with your honey with no where to be or do than walking and being with each other.
Dan's Mui Delisioso Home-made Salsa
Dan has gotten so good at making Salsa. It is really excellent! He likes it really hot - I like it more on the mild side and usually he ends up appeasing me, but it is so wonderful. This is definitely one of our favorite things.
Upcoming graduation
The topic of discussion that ignites the most excitement recently is our upcoming graduation on June 13th. It is just around the corner and yet at times we wonder if we'll ever make it. This will be a great accomplishment for us and marks the end of one chapter in our lives and a start to a new.
Going to the Temple
One thing that has always been a constant in our relationship is the temple. Going to the temple was one of our first dates after Dan's mission. I think we went at least once a week before I left on my mission. We even did sealings(which my Dad arranged). It has always been something we've loved to talk about and it has always been a priortity for us to attend as often as possible. Last quarter we had a schedule where we were up in Seattle and we made the decision to attend the temple once a week. We have discovered that things in our lives go much more smoothly when we attend the temple. We have better insight into our lives and a special peace that only comes from being in the Lord's house.
The last time we went there had been a fire alarm - and it was the coolest thing. We drove past in front of the temple and it was beautiful on that spring after noon and the entire front lawn of the temple was strooned with people dressed in white. The entire grounds just glowed. It was an amazing site. Maybe a little like heaven. Well, by the time my camera was on and ready to go this was all I got while people where shuffling back into the temple
Fishing
At the end of last summer we went to visit Dan's family in Oklahoma where Dan introduced me to fishing. I'd been before, but it was different here. And we loved it. We got some great catches too! I have to say I had the biggest catch! Though there is not camera proof of that one. I also caught a turtle which I was more than mortified about. Don't worry - they all were all promptly returned to their ponds.
These are a FEW of our Favorite things!

So, what do we have to do to get the secret recipe for "Dan's Mui Delisioso Home-made Salsa"???
:o)
Love it! Maybe we should try the cheap movie theater--we went to a matinee yesterday and spent $20 for two tickets and a little popcorn! Of course, it takes us over an hour to get to a theater, so when we do go (which is very rare), we like to see the newer movies. (We loved Iron Man)
PS--check my blog again--I responded to your Twilight comment!
Do you remember how we would be so excited for Temple day in the MTC only to get there and have to fight the tremendous urge to fall asleep? Or did you have that problem? Man, that was horrendous! Kind of like the times we would all just start laughing at the most inappropriate moments...ahh, good memories. We should really get together sometime. I am always traveling your way now...unless you are too tortured by the harsh experience of having been my companion? (smiley face)
Ahhh! Hearing about Seattle makes me miss it tons. I haven't been back since March of last year!
