Four hours of football watching.
Only excitement was when the dog started humping Chris' leg.

Two Addresses, One Home, Two Weeks
Dear Mom and Dad,
(and future Mom and Dad)
Chris and I are taking part in a new social experiment.
It's called pre-marriage trial living together.
Chris moved in this weekend and we will "live together" for two weeks. At the end of two weeks he will move out and we will live in autonomy until our next trial period.
We realized we have both been living alone for about eight years and are quite used to having our own space and our own things and our own way of living.
Just like the 5K in March, we're training.
Throwing ourselves into the same apartment on June 22 might be a bit much, so we're easing into the idea. Few days here, few weeks there, eventually moving up to the big 80 year together thing.
So far so good.
All 3 days have been successful.
Chris took me to Tom Thumb to pick out any flowers I wanted.
I suffered through 4 hours of boys throwing around a football and bad commercials.
Chris endured my first ever night of sleep-talking, and I put his towel in the dryer so it would be warm for him when he got done with his shower.
Ah, temporary pre-marital still best-behavior living together.
It's not for everyone, but so far, it's been good for us.
We hope you'll stay tuned.
We love you,
Sarah & Chris

Jack and the Witch
For Christmas, Chris wanted a DVD of a Japanese anime that he saw while on a family vacation back in 1986.
The movie got cut short when Chris's folks were ready to leave for dinner, thus Chris never got to see the end.
All he knew was that "The Witch" ended up being an evil robot and she had captured some boy named Jack. He's always wondered how the movie ended, so being the great fiancee that I am, I resolved to give him his wish.
I started in November and hunted for weeks for this thing.
Finally, I found the movie, Jack and the Witch. I went against all of Oprah's identity theft advice and gave my phone number to "John" in Idaho who promised to send me the film after the ice storm they were having.
Great.
But sure enough, it showed up on my doorstep one week later.
We finally watched it last weekend.
I have never laughed so hard at a cartoon in all my life.
At times I was completely lost and wanted to escape to the bedroom and read a book, but I hung in there.
At the end Chris looked at me and said "Yeah, I don't think that was the right movie."
WHAT?!
I would have felt like a complete failure except that after the credits finished rolling Chris and I's attention was brought back to the screen where some kind of extra Japanese film began playing.

The quality is so-so because I got my TV in 1997.
And yes, the Christmas tree has since been taken down.

State of the Union
Last night President George gave his State of the Union address.
I watched it for seven minutes before I had to take four Tums.
I don't trust most of what George-e says and I have no real way to find out what he's lying about and what he's lying about more.
I only know my own state of union so I decided to focus on that instead.
Chris discovered my first grey hair about two months ago.
He has since found two more.
My skin is about as white as a ghost in a snow storm. I need a tan.
This Saturday I remembered I hadn't dusted the top of my bedroom fan in like 1.5 years. Thanks to my tall fiancé it is now clean.
I think I noticed a new freckle on my left shoulder.
I can run five minutes in row which is up quite a bit since one minute in 2007.
I and my finance committee (aka DAD) have allotted a significant amount of funds to be spent on pretty flowers, tasty food and stunning ribbon-less invitations for the 2008 fiscal year.
I think it's probably time to clip my toenails again.
State of education is first-class. This last year I read 23 books, 21 magazines, 7 newspapers, 3 love letters and 1 police report.
Department of trade is in good shape. I have already exchanged 5 gifts this year and only anticipate growth in gift trafficking.
Department of transportation is good now that I have my car back. And I think my total different means of transport in 2007 totalled 41. Train, plane, sailboat, hospital bed,...
My state is the only state that I am fully attentive to so it is up to you my friends to ensure your own state is the state you want yourself in.
