This post is a few weeks late, but it's better late then never! Many things have come up these past few weeks including many tests and other weekend festivities. Only 2 exams left until summer!!! woot woot!
So, on April 20th all the neighbors from my old "hood" Richland Court threw us a couples shower. It was a great time seeing everyone and catching up; it really has been a long time! In addition to the wonderful company, we also ate lots of really good food and cake.

John and Barb Ledvina put on the "Newlywed Game", which Sean and I won :) We played against my parents and Sean's parents. They think we cheated because we "practiced". For our "training" all we did was ask each other questions a few times a day for the week before the shower. None of it helped though because the questions that were asked were completely new and ones Sean and I did not cover when we "practiced". lol. It was really funny though and it was a little bit of a competition.

I think the question was "who is the better packer?" |
We also received a lot of advice from everyone at the shower. Both from a book and also personal notes. The notes were very personable and so sweet!
Here are some examples....
- Never go to bed angry. Put a bottle of wine on the table, take a sip after every point you make in the argument, and by the end of the night you won't care who was right or wrong
- Amanda, you have to spend money to make Sean make money
- never go to bed mad at eachother
- Sean, always remember even when you are right you are wrong
- Remember all the special "little moments" from when you were dating. Take time to have fun together even when life gets really busy and demanding.
I especially like the ones about me spending money and that I'm always right :) lol. But, on a serious note, we really do appreciate them and will cherish them! We have already enjoyed reading through them a couple times, and will continue to read through them in the future :)
Here are some pictures of the passages taken from the book. I loved the pictures...
