"When you're the best of friends, having so much fun together!"

In case anyone is not aware, this post title comes from one of my favorite movies, "The Fox and the Hound."  I used it because it pretty much sums up my marriage to Grant.  One of the best things about being married to him is the fact that he is my very best friend!  We always have fun together!
I have to admit, P90X is not my favorite thing in the world, but Grant and I have set a goal so we're working hard to achieve it.  Usually we work out at different times because of our crazy schedules, but the few times that Grant and I are able to do it together it makes it a little bit more enjoyable.


yes... we have matching shirts :)

This weekend, Grant and I went on a really fun date to celebrate our 3 month anniversary.  It started off with a trip to Olive Garden, where we spent our last gift card there.  I guess we'll have to stop being spoiled now.  Afterwards, we went to see the Young Ambassadors perform.  We had so much fun!  It was a great show!  They sang a song from Hairspray so, naturally, when we got home I had to watch it.  What a great night!

handyman

So, I had my first home repair! I've put up many picture frames, a curtain rod, and other furniture but this was my first real repair! The rod in my closet bent (yes, it was metal!) It was pretty weak when we moved in but over time, it completely collapsed. As you can see in the picture below, my first attempt was to jimmy rig it with some duct tape. That worked for a couple hours but it collapsed again :(



We ran to the Home Depot to get some supplies to do the job right. I tried to convince Katie that I needed a saw to cut my own rod but she cleverly picked out a rod that was adjustable :) (although she said I can get one some day!) We got home and I went to work. I used my new drill and drilled lots of holes in the wall and in the rod itself and walah! This sucker isn't going anywhere! I'm pretty proud of my work!
