Wednesdays

Wednesdays are great days, and particularly this Wednesday. Since the beginning of last school year, Rusty has taken me out to breakfast every Wednesday morning to enjoy each other and to talk about our spiritual lives, about how God is apparent in our weeks and how we are serving and responding to Him in our days! It has become one of my favorite traditions and something I look forward to each week. He is a fantastic boyfriend, and I love that he takes the initiative to do that for us. This morning, we went to the IHOP down the street, and I had the chocolate chip pancakes because I was dreaming about chocolate cake as I woke up. It was literally a dream come true.

I also had a dentist appointment today, and it went great! I love the dentist and think he is your best friend. I heart my mouth, and like to take good care of it. I almost had an identity crisis and personal breakdown last semester when my dentist, Dr. Green, told me that I had my very first cavity and needed a filling! I have since recovered and am now dealing with the fact that every visit he tells me to get BRACES (AGAIN mind you, since I had them in jr. high) or else my teeth which meet exactly will wear down into short stubs by the time I am 40. So, everyone can look forward to that in the next couple of years. Just don't make fun of me, or I'll bite you with my razor-sharp metal mouth.



We had our second victory in a row at softball last night! We won 18-14 in a really exciting game. Our defense was diving all over the place, sometimes because we were really good and dove for the ball, sometimes because we made so many mistakes that we had to dive after baserunners to try and tag them at the last minute! Fun time, though. I got two hits and made one play on defense at third base. Rusty had a great game, making about 8 outs and hitting several LONG hits. He was definitely the dirtiest after the game.


Our friends Scott and Mary Olson, a really wise and awesome couple from our church, were kind enough to come watch Rusty and I play softball, and they even took us out to dinner afterwards! We ate at Beaver Street Brewery, a local favorite. Their best menu item by far is the Beaver Street Burger (a huge and meaty tomato/basil pesto burger with harvatti cheese), and I highly suggest the restaurant overall.

Rusty and I finished the evening by watching the movie "Blast from the Past", which is a mid nineties classic with Brendan Frasier and Alicia Silverstone where Brendan Frasier was born and grew up since 1962 in a fall out shelter and must now negotiate present day L.A., where he meets Alicia Silverstone and falls in love with her. For those of you who don't know Rusty, watch Brendan Frasier in that movie, and you will know him. For those who DO know Rusty, watch it anyway and get a laugh. Rusty sure did.
