DISNEY!

A couple weeks ago I became privvy to a promotion by Disney called "Give a day, get a Disney day." All you have to do is volunteer at a participating group in your area and you get a free one day pass into Disneyland. 

And it all kind of worked out perfect because we will be in California for the big Oceanside beach trip this summer, which also happens to fall on our anniversary. 

Did you know I've never been to Disneyland???

I know, its absolutely horrible.

Anyway, I signed Geoff and I up and we did our volunteer work today. We volunteered at a place called Home Life. It houses and takes care of disabled adults. We signed up to help paint tenants rooms.

I was excited about it because I thought that I was going to be able to meet some of the people. Instead we ended up painting a womans office there, which was kind of weird. 

It was a pretty good day though, which included minimal compaining from Geoff (did I tell you I dragged him into this? He said we should just buy tickets  because they are only 30 bucks---they arent 30 bucks they are more like 70 bucks) and we only had to deal with 4 other girls who were volunteering from Eugene. (They were ANNOYING!) 

But now we have some sweet free passes into Disney!

I'd say it was totally worth it.

Judge Geoff

Whilst dining at the fine eatery known as "Subway" Geoff and I had this conversation:

Katie: "Do you wanna get a Redbox tonight?"

Geoff: "I dunno, that one at Safeway doesnt have a very good selection"

Katie: "True"

Geoff: "And besides, the finals for mens figure skating is on tonight."


Geoff seems to think he is a judge at the Olympics. He critiques everything, especially mens figure skating. Its his favorite event.

Of course critiquing the outfits is also especially interesting. Some of these guys have seriously out done themselves. I get it Johnny Weir, I get it.

You too champ. 

I'm sure that outfit was hand picked to perfection.

but seriously? 

Its worse than any of those feathered, glittlered body suits. 

couponing.

Everyone is talking about couponing--especially my sister. They have a million blogs to help you out too. I dont coupon beause I dont have the time to map out each store im going to go to for each deal. Its just not in the cards. However, I wandered over to one of those blogs the other day and found a deal I couldnt pass up. 

Geoff uses deodrant like its going out of style. With having football everyday hes always showering and reapplying this stuff. Needless to say I am spending tons of money on his pits. There was a coupon posted for $2 off 2 sticks of Right Guard deodrant (geoff's fav) and Safeway was running a sweet deal on them at 10/$10. Which means each one was a buck and I got a dollar off each stick, which really means I got 4 things of deo for F.R.E.E. 

And that my friends is the best kind of price. 

Par-tay!!

The day after Geoff's birthday I threw him a party (we would have done it on Thursday, the actual day of his birth, but nothing can get in the way of Geoff's elder quorum basketball games). I made some sweet treats for everyone

And Geoff blew out the candles "like a real man" with only one blow (hes always talking to me about his awesome lung capacity, whatever)

Thank goodness we moved, or else we never would have been able to fit a dozen friends in our little Shadow Hills apartment. 

After our little party, we headed to The Dalles (@10pm) for a quick weekend trip (it was a very last minute decision).

My sister was in town and Geoff didnt have to teach sunday school on account of it being stake conference at church. 

It was short but it was fun. On Saturday my mom, sister, her girls and Geoff and I went to Klindt's bookstore downtown and we all picked out a book. Sweet deal, thanks mom!

We hung out until late Sunday night and then headed home. 

A quick but fun weekend. 

!!!

Everything good comes from Sweden.

I've had a rough week. 

Geoff noticed.

I came home to a 1.9 lb bag of swedish fish on the table.

I love swedish fish and he loves me.

But that also means that i've been grabbing a handful of these guys everytime I head out the door to go to the gym (amongst other various time during the day :)

counterproductive?

whatever.
