Ten days in point form

Woo! I haven't posted in ten whole days. Probably because I haven't made the time to sit down, collect my thoughts and figure out just what I've done that's worth blogging about.

A whole lot has happened in the last ten days. Here is a list in no particular order.

1- I went skiing for the first time in over 10 years. Turns out I still know how.
2- Linds booked us a trip to go to the Island for her friend's wedding. We get to stay at a freakin' nice hotel too. I don't even know these friends, but I know that this tag-a-long is soooo going to be worth it.
3- The worship Pastor at our Church stepped down and everyone threw him and his family a series of goodbye parties. I think he had around 5 of them.
4- The Adventure Girl and Camera Boy video we made was nearly a bust for a bunch of different reasons. It almost didn't show up on time, there were technical glitches in it, and as hard as we tried to avoid it there were still some badly lit shots. At least the music didn't suck! On the positive side of things, most people liked it and we were actually thanked by one church-goer for bringing a light hearted note to an otherwise emotional evening.
5- My sister and her boyfriend went away to Whistler and got engaged. It surprised most of the family, but only because they've been together for 7 years and we all thought this should have happened 3 years ago. Now we can look forward to their 10 year engagement.
6- We went out for dinner for a surprise party that didn't end up working out the way normal surprise parties are supposed to work out. At least the guy was still a little surprised. That's got to count for something, right?
7- Lindsey wrote and illustrated a story book for me for Valentine's day. It's titled "The Boy Who Saved Valentine's Day" and I love love love it. I'm not even going to mention what I got for her because it pales in comparison to the awesomeness of the story book. Really, it does.
8- Linds and I rented some movies and made the time to watch them. Here's a brief review of the both of them.
Science of Sleep - This was a great movie directed and written by the same guy who did Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It's so crazy and cool that I want to buy it. I haven't said that about a movie for a while. It's the story of a guy who's dream life blurs into his real life. It's kind of a love story, but it doesn't fall into any kind of conventional love story formula. I thought it was awesome.
Running with Scissors - Apparently the trailer for this movie decided it was a good idea to be better than the actual movie itself. It looked so promising! The memoirs of some dude named Augusten Burroughs do not make for a very entertaining movie. The characters were very interesting, but the story was just boring. Nothing could make me want to watch this one again.

So those are were the Main Events. Of course, there were all kinds of side events that I can remember too. I just don't make the time to write about them.
