Eight months later

Jennifer and I hit our eight month anniversary a few days ago. I figure it's due time for a blog update. After 246 days we're still together and still very much in love.

A lot has happened in the past eight months. We went on a second honeymoon to Bermuda in May with my cousins John and Christy. They found some cheap tickets for a cruise on Orbitz.com and invited us along. Initially we weren't going to go, having just gone on a cruise to the Bahamas five months prior. But then we remembered we didn't have any kids or real adult responsibilities yet, so we joined them. It was so much better than our Bahamas cruise. It's the difference between vacationing in Fargo or Miami.

Also, we don't have any kids yet. Thank goodness.

 

Though Jennifer keeps trying to tell me they're not all that bad.

This past week we went to Palmyra to watch the Book of Mormon pageant. 

It was the special 75th anniversary edition pamphlet. This one is soon to be available on ebay. The actual pageant wasn't anything special. That's not to say it wasn't any good, just I've been like 6 times and it's been the same thing every time so if you apply the term "special" to something ordinary it kind of devalues the word. It was Jennifer's first time though, so maybe it was special to her. We got there two and a half hours early to get good seats. Also because our temple session ended at 7pm and there's nothing to do in Palmyra so it was either stake out good seats or sit in our car and eat cold Crazy Bread from Little Caesar's. Had we sat in our car though we would have missed out on hearing the testimonies of the entire cast of pageant. Before the show all the actors fan out in the audience and ask members where they're from and if they've seen the pageant before and ask non members where they're from and if they've seen pageant before then sending over the Elders/Sisters for some follow up first discussion action. Since we were there so early there was plenty of time for all 800 cast members to stop by where we were sitting. And it turns out we didn't need to get there quite so early for good seats since there was no one sitting next to us for 7 seats in any direction.

The next day we went to Albany to see The Dark Knight Rises.

The seats around us at this show were a lot less empty. 

I also helped send Pitbull to Alaska. It was pretty gratifying.
