Hi.

Jered and I made a series of unwise choices on Saturday.

Mistake #1: Knowing that we could expect a good amount of snow later in the day, we put off our plans until the weather was at its worst.

Mistake #2: We accepted the awesome deal the cologne salesman gave us, but then found out we couldn't use the gift card we had planned on using.

Mistake #3: Jered rented The Conjuring, aka: the ABSOLUTE scariest movie we've ever seen in our lives.  Furthermore, we ended up watching said film almost right before bed.

Good thing I have a husband who reminds me to look at the positive side of life.  With that said, let me tell you all the wonderful things about our Saturday.

Upside #1: Since we didn't leave our apartment until dinner time, we had time to have a full  breakfast and watch cartoons together first thing in the morning.  Jered got several beneficial hours of studying done, and our apartment looks amazing because I spent that time cleaning, organizing, and purging junk.

Upside #2: Jered now smells exceptionally amazing, we each got several free sample bottles, I got a very cute complementary clutch, and I still have a mall gift card to spend.

Upside #3: Well, it's hard to find an upside to the scary movie, but my husband snuggled a little closer, and we got a decent laugh out of how scared and ridiculous we must have looked.  We sat up straight, side by side, knees tucked to our chins, blanket wrapped tightly around us to keep us safe, and I laughed at the amount of terrified yelling that came out of my mouth.  (We even had to pause the movie to regather ourselves, turn on the lights, and grab a snack to detach from the movie a bit.  There was plugging of ears and humming to drown out the shock/fear factor and the hiding of eyes behind hands.  Oh, and we had to watch some of The Emperor's New Groove before we went to bed.)

All in all, our Saturday may not have gone quite as planned.  It maybe wasn't the smoothest of days, but it was a pretty grand Saturday in my opinion.  I guess it just goes to show that sometimes our plans aren't the best out there.

I'm thankful that I have Jered in my life to teach me to be optimistic.  It doesn't come naturally for me.  It does for him.  Not much gets him down.  He sees his glass of orange juice as half full.  And that helps my life be full.

Hope you're doing well and enjoying all the juice you've been blessed with today.
