What were we thinking?
-OK, let’s start over…we decided on a whim to run up to Mission Valley and see Curious George with the kids (Nathaniel and Noah) and the Codallos family. Pretty fun…except that the last time we tried to get poopy Noah to sit through a movie was Madagascar this past summer–and it didn’t work. At that time Noah lasted about 3 minutes until Christy finally took him out to the lobby where he finally got happy looking at the flashing commercial ads on an ATM machine in the lobby. THIS time he lasted about 30 minutes (clearly an improvement) but that was mostly because of the popcorn, pen and paper to draw with, capri sun juice, and pb&j sandwich that Christy prepared ahead of time. So there came a time about 25 minutes in to the flick where I thought to myself, “If I don’t bail out now with Noah, I won’t be able to get my money back…” and I knew he wasn’t going to last much longer since we had exhausted all out tricks by then…so Noah and I went to The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf (Thank you Mission Valley…).
Which, on a side note, their Caramel Ice Blended drink is fantabulous!
Anyways–not a success with Noah, but due to the delightful coffee drink I consumed while waiting for the rest of the group to get out of the theater, I am not at all displeased. ALSO–Will Farrell plays the Man in the Yellow Hat–and he was also fun to listen to. Will is one of my all time comedy favs and I enjoy him most anytime to some degree. Even in Bewitched, I enjoyed him for what it was worth. BUT in this movie, he was fun to listen to, just jibber-jabbering away in the Will Farrell way like some people do in cartoons, but it was funny…cutesy and funny…which is great for a kids movie. Seriously, it was no Incredibles or anything, but still cute…
I had my second interview with APU today for the AA job in the Registrar. I feel like the immediate supervisors liked me, and the interview seemed to go well, but I just need to be praying to find out if this is what God wants for us.
Last weekend here in SD!

“Last weekend here in SD! “ do you have to keep reminding? and with all the exclamation points in life? really, daniel.
What, you won’t come back to visit?!
Nice to hear Curious George makes for a good kids movie….we’ll be taking the campers come President’s Day holiday! YEEPIEEEEEEE
oh c’mon now!!
don’t hate the player…
it’s not like we’re never coming back! And it’s not necessarily an “I’m so excited to never come back” exclamation point! It’s an “I can’t believe it’s already here!” excl. point!!
GEEZ!!!
I’m so going to miss you guys!!! I’m sure God intends for you to have a job somewhere, so I will pray for His will . . . but maybe it IS the APU job. We can hope, anyway.
) And isn’t it funny how a certain drink or food item can make us so happy? Sometimes it kinda makes my day to have a white chocolate mocha from Starbucks or a Kiwi Berry Burner from Jamba Juice. The small things in life . . .
I LOVE THE COFFEE BEAN AND TEA LEAF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think you bailed way too early, Noah was doing great! I guess if you were concerned about the refund then it makes sense. Will Ferrall was good, however not $36.00 worth. This one is one I would have rather seen on DVD. It was the company that made it worth while. The kids had a great time. Sometimes you just need to get out and live a little.
It’s good to know we can stay posted. I truly pray for you to get the job at APU if it be God’s perfect will. Forutnately, if its not God’s will, His will, without a doubt will most certainly still be done and his grace will be sufficient : )!!! Just hold on, he’s coming! I know in my heart he’s looking out for you and yours. I sure hated missing your party, but my oldest son came to church and wanted to take us to lunch afterwards. I find myself missing so many events with them because of prior church committments. This time I couldn’t tell him no – - and refuse to tell you GOODBYE!!!
