....yeah.....crazy.....But despite it all, we have made a sort of goal to include more "Wholesome recreational activities" into our life. "The Family: A Proclamation to the World," put out by our church and its first presidency, states, "Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities." I just think its interesting that that was included in such a brilliant list of other Christ-like attributes.
We started off with a bike ride to the nearby Cricket Field, ("I didn't even know it existed!" said Adam) taking pictures, lying in the grass, and talking about our future. 

Last Monday, new friends of ours, Katie and Thomas, our Neighbor's neighbor, invited us to play racquet ball with them. This was my first attempt; it was tons of fun and I liked feeling tired at the end of the night!
Friday night, Adam and I used our Christmas gift from Mama Harrison, new tennis racquets and balls. Again, my first attempt. It was ugly, even disturbing at times, how awful I was. BUT it was tons of fun and we had some good laughs.

 Finally, last night our dear friends Katie and Nate invited us and Keola and Phil over for a picnic dinner. It was fabuloso, delicious, splendid. We enjoyed just sitting and chatting with one another. For some reason, I felt so adultish at that moment. I mean, we were discussing our national debt, the displeasure with our school system and its president, national health care, etc, etc, etc. And I reallly enjoyed it. Strange.
Today Adam is using one of his Christmas presents from me, a wood burner, to design our new door sign. I can't wait to see it finished! 

And I'm just chillin' with Jet, who is loving his new home (Thanks KW!). Happy Sunday!
