Smash Ball...Always a Good Choice

Good Idea - After a surprise dinner funded by a gift card, which we have no idea where it came from, we decided to make a stop at Big 5.  Here we unexpectedly stumbled upon a lone smash ball case.  We couldn't help but give it a home.  The excitement of the soon to be played game was too much to handle and the contents were opened far before arriving home.  A midst the excitement we soon discovered a game we could occupy ourselves with during the long five minute drive.  It became a competition, who could balance the ball on the paddle the longest.  This became especially difficult for Sean, who was not only balancing, but driving as well.  Apparently, the drive was no match for Sean and his mad skills, as he conquered the smash ball challenge.  

Bad Idea - Please look at the picture.  Need I say more?

Lake Tahoe and Birth Control

Good Idea – A few weeks ago, Sean and I along with our good friends Andy and Erin Wright, decided to go to Lake Tahoe!  The long trip was definitely worth it.  In order to entertain ourselves during the ride we successfully listened to two books on tape.  Thank you Andy and Erin for enduring Sean and I’s Grandma-Grandpa-isms.  Because the weather was not in our favor, our trip included hiking, browsing, eating, and then more eating.  Tahoe is gorgeous!  I can’t wait to see it when the sun’s out. 

Bad Idea – The second day it not only rained, but it snowed three inches!  If we would have planned ahead a little better we would have enjoyed some California skiing and boarding while we were in town!

I apologize yet again for the vertical pictures not being vertical.  It's correct on my desktop, but as soon as I insert them on the blog they flip!  

Good Idea – For Christmas my sibling and Sean and I decided we would get my parent’s present a much needed weekend getaway.  Sean is king of finding deals and found an adorable bed and breakfast in Midway for my parents.  After months of much anticipation and rescheduling they finally packed their bags! 

Bad Idea – Of course Sean and I were to be mom and dad while they were gone.  We were glad to help however, the weekend also provided an extra dose of birth control for both Sean and I.
