September 2-8: What's Up!

My mom came for her annual visit. She brought Al this time. It was great. I didn't take any pictures, but Al did. He filmed the entire fourth floor at the National Museum of The American Indian. I bet Noko (my grandmother) loved that! Maybe he'll lend me some footage.

Highlights:

1. Al films the entire fourth floor of NMTA.
2. My mom buys me a Smithsonian membership.
3. My mom talks the carousel operator into staying open longer.
4. Al films us on the carousel.
5. Luke pukes all over me at A.J.'s birthday party.
6. We hit the stores and spend money like it's going out of style.
7. My Mom and Al get sick after eating a Chilies.
8. Willy does a victory dance after winning two games of Settlers.
9. We ride the ferry at Mt. Vernon.
10. Al films the entire ferry ride.
11. My mom and I get separated from Willy, Al and the Kids at Mt. Vernon.
12. My mom meets Martha Washington.
13. Willy and I go on a real date. We hold hands.
14. My mom and Al fly home, but not until they've filled my freezer with IceCream.
15. I am bereft of my mom.

August 23: What's Up!

We got married seven years ago. Willy says he doesn't feel the least bit itchy.

Look who just got kissed!

And here is our first fight: Willy steps on my bustle.
My Bustle is definitely busted!

And seven years later I swear we are the most boring (read: happy) people on the planet.

This is our actual converstion:

M- So what do you want to do?

W- Ah, I don't know. What do you want to do?

M-umm, Let's go to the beach!

W-Sure.

M-But let's not go this weekend. Let's go next weekend.

Unfortunately the next weekend was stake conference, and really whoever mandated the Saturday Night Session is much more concerned about salvation than romance.
