ANNOUNCEMENT: I have finally (officially) won "Settlers of Cataan" (the Cities & Knights version, too!). To say the least, I am extremely proud of myself. FINALLY! (Ask the Roundys... it's been a long while coming.)
In other news, check out this Web site: http://greensquirrelshirts.com/ (see also the "Green Squirrel" link at the sidebar). My brother-in-law Stephen runs a t-shirt business that sells "emo"/vintage style shirts that he and his compadres design (the pic on the right is of Robert and me on Christmas morning, wearing our brand new Green Squirrel shirts). Some are pretty hilarious and they're top goods. ;)
Welp, good night world. The Cataan champion is signing out. (-Jocelyn)
So... after MONTHS of waiting for it to get in stock again, we received our DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) Mario Mix this Thursday. We have played it the past two nights, both times with friends. It is VERY fun and I HIGHLY recommend playing it (with us!). It's really funny to watch Mario getting his grove on on-screen, and it's even funnier to watch the person "being" Mario trying to step on all the right arrows at the right time. And all the songs are revamped Nintendo classics (like the theme songs from the original Mario Brothers, remade in a funk style). Check it. (-Jocelyn)
Best thing I ever did was marrying that man. :) (-Jocelyn)
It's been just over a year now since Jocelyn and I were sealed in the Bountiful temple. We took an anniversary trip to the Anniversary Inn in SLC and stayed in the "Enchanted Forest" room and had dinner at The Roof. I gave Jocelyn a calendar for 2006–07 full of things we both love, a necklace, and some clothing, and she gave me an Ultimate Frisbee set along with some of my favorite fine foods.
I also gave her a Mother's Day present, since our Anniversary and Mother's Day fell on the same day this year.
Here's a poem I wrote for Jocelyn a few months ago. It's really about the increasing amount of love I feel for her and that (I hope) she feels for me. Our love is still growing and going strong.
This Time, Looking Back
This time, looking back, the valley seems green
The trees are the same size, but with more shade
The old castle up there can still be seen
Time's made it richer when I thought it would fade
And the image of you is everywhere,
In the road, in the grass, and in the trees
I can still see the way the wind curled your hair
And the smile you wore as I shielded the breeze
That's where I first noticed your beautiful eyes
And over there is where I first understood you
Those simple days and those first memories
Make the grass green and keep the sky bright blue
I hurried down the hill with you behind me
Our hands were clasped forever with a ring;
Your hair is still whispering toward me
In the faint warm wind of spring
(–Robert)
