The Perfect Day

I've been eating one piece of Dove Dark Chocolate every day since we've been here...

The other afternoon, the "Dove Promise" inside the wrapper was:

Dove + Friends + Shopping=A Perfect Day

I said, "That would not be my perfect day".

Then it became a discussion...what three things would make up your Perfect Day?

I said:
A walking city + lots of laughter + some good kissing

Bre said:
A sailboat + great company + good food

So...we put it to you...what three things make up your perfect day?

In Your Head...In Your Head...

I want to go to the Toronto Zombie Walk 2010.
Anyone want to come along?

So This Is Love...

These are the best engagement photos I've ever seen...
The colors are so gorgeous...and the setting is so sweet and their outfits are so unique.
I don't know them, but if I did, I would hang their picture in my house.
Well done, you two, well done.

Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls

Bre and I spent the last few hours looking up the Grammy Award winning songs from 1995-2003.

It's been SO fun to sing the songs, talk about the videos and even watch some of them on youtube.

What is the song you remember most from your Freshman year of high school?
And from my Freshman year? {1996-ish}

{It should be noted that we are now listening to "Gangsta's Paradise" on repeat so Leila, the Kenyan that lives with us can learn the words}

Until Further Notice

Hey.

You know I'm posting HERE, right?

I figured you did...

Just checking.

Like ya.

Fun Can Obviously Change Behavior For The Better

I love this "slogan" by Volkswagen. Maybe you've already seen this video, but it just made it's way to the other side of the world {or at least to this compound} this morning...

It brought tears to my eyes and I had to think about it to figure out why...I think it's because I so firmly believe that laughter and "fun" can spark change.

They call it the Fun Theory. {Click for the English version of the video}

Morning Message

This morning, I woke up early and watched the recording of Mariner's Sunday service...

The audio was clear and glitch-free...but the video wasn't able to stream at the right speed, so it froze for the final 25 minutes on this picture...awesome, right?

This Is 'Cause I Know You Like Rabbits, And I Know You Like Cheese

For some reason, I have referenced The Velveteen Rabbit more times in the last year than any one person should...ever.

But the discussion always ends with this question, "what disease did the little boy have?"

Most frequently, the guesses are: tuberculosis, the black plague...and, my favorite: HIV {which is only funny because of how seriously unlikely and inappropriate it is.}

Finally, tonight, I looked it up: Scarlet fever.

I'm actually a little sad at the loss of that guessing game...

New game: If knowing is half the battle, what is the other half?
