After a month of sleeping on an air mattress...finally, a real bed!
A guy was selling this chair on Craigslist. Brandon bargained with him over email for about two weeks--we eventually got the chair for half its listed price!
August 12th was our 3-year anniversary. We took a trip over to Independence and walked around town a bit. Here's an interesting statue of people beating their swords into plowshares.
Then we went to this movie:
Alison gave it two thumbs up. Brandon survived. (Side note: One of the characters in the movie decides to cook every recipe from Julia Child's book Mastering the Art of French Cooking over the course of a year. Alison is also thinking about undertaking a cooking project, although probably not such a daunting one. What do you suggest?)
After the movie we went out for a delicious Italian dinner. After we got home, we figured we'd spent enough time together and decided to play computer games! (Very romantic.) (For those who are curious, Brandon's game of choice is Warcraft [not the online version] and Alison plays The Sims 2).
We hope you are enjoying your August as much as we are! Brandon starts school in a little over a week and Alison's job search continues (as does the thesis...always the thesis...), so we should have some more updates in the near future.

I support your gaming choice Alison. I got the Sims 3 recently...it rocks!!
Happy Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary! That's so exciting! I'm glad you liked the Julie and Julia movie. I was undecided on seeing it but I really like both actresses. Maybe you could try for a year to do one new recipe a week. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, WHATEVER! Just look through the cookbooks you already have, or look online. There are so many good things that I find in the cookbooks I already have that I never would have thought of. And every day of the year you eat at least one meal so if you're going to eat anyway, you might as well try something new :) If that still seems too daunting you could do one new recipe every 2 weeks, and you already have a blog going here so you can post pictures, and that (I think) might help keep you motivated too :) Let me know when you decide!
I love that new chair. What a great deal!!! Brandon, I could barely sit thru that movie. It was too girley for me. And now I've spelled that wrong. Anyway, the movie was not worth the $9 matinee price :(
Alison, if you decide to cook like Julie or Julia, I'll be happy to sample all of it...
Let us know your defense date for the thesis.
I hope my anniversary card arrives one day!
