Movie

Ben and I were at blockbuster recently, and rented a movie Ben spotted. The funny part is the title, which is Mandie and the Secret Tunnel. What do you think this movie is about? Would love to hear thoughts. Ben and I thought it was so funny that the person had the same name as me but not spelled the same way. Thoughts....

New Toys

So, some exciting news to share. I am getting a brand new bike. This will be the first new one I will have had since I was about 12 or so. I am really excited about this. Ben and I have been riding bikes for a while and I have been using my Mom's old schwen bike that is about 20 years old, very heavy and a bit to tall for me. As I have learned about bikes it is the best to find one that is the best fit for you. And, as I learned when you go to a bike store you can test ride bikes. I found this amusing and cool at the same time. Just something I had not thought of before. So, I test rode a couple of bikes. The first one I test rode was the Small bike and found it was still a bit big. I was glad that there was one more size to try. So, I tried the petite bike was a much better fit. So, at the end of the week I should have my new bike which Ben and I ordered in blue of corse. So exciting. When I get the bike I will post a pic of Ben and I with it and riding :)

Grocery store story

So Ben and I went to the grocery store last night to pick up a few things. While in line we ran into someone I knew from a while back. As we approached the check out lady and gave her our items she asked me when my birthday was, mainly because we had purchased alchohol and they always ask. So I gave her my ID and she said to me in regards to the year I was born, " you were born during happy times". Me not sure how to answer her said " yes that is what I hear". I bought it was interesting that she said that and certainly the most interesting comment made aboutthe year I was born to me.

Then I started thinking, what is she refering to? Could she be refering to the economy we are living in today? The state of today's government verses the government when I was born? I guess that is sething that will remain unknown.

Easter Weekend

This past weekend was Easter weekend. It was a great time had by all. My family went up to the lake house for Easter. I got there on Friday afternoon and stayed until Monday morning. Ben came and spent the day on Saturday at the lake house and we just hung out.
On Sunday we went to a local church to our lake house. It was the first time any of us had been there. I now have experienced a small town church service on Easter. This was vastly different than anything I had ever experienced. We sat on the third row with family friends, and noticed many people not sitting around us for a while. The preacher kept saying how great it was that the church was full, which after the 10th time of hearing it, we ( ie my family) got that he was excited to see so many people there. My favorite part was when he started thanking everyone for being there. Then he says and thanks to those who are tuning in on cable channel 92. It was just so strange to know that I have now attended a cable tv church, you know the ones that you turn on on Sunday mornings. Anyways, the preacher had all the kids come up for the kids service. My mom and I could not believe the mom's who were sitting in church taking pictures of their kids as the service went on. It was very odd for us. Then, we realized how lucky we were to go to a church, here in Dallas that had such great technology.

The rest of the day was spent relaxing and watching movies. All in all it was a great day, and weekend.
