Lincoln's Date ;)

Date Night?

Finals week = Widow week :(

Mesa Falls

We took a trip to Mesa Falls. Shaun was a great tour guide, he has learned a lot about the falls in his Natural Disasters class. The falls were beautiful. Heavenly Father created them through a volcano and water erosion.

My mom and sister came to visit for the weekend so they came along. Like I've said before, family dates count, too!

Shaun took pictures of all the pretty vegetation around. I think he is a great photographer.

Independence Date Night

Date night fell on the day the country celebrated Independence Day. Naturally our date was to watch the fireworks display in our hometown.

We had fun being together out in the night air. I love Shaun.

Homework

Shaun has been so overloaded with homework lately. Because I knew he was stressed, I was planning on maybe doing a spa night for our date night this weekend and giving him a good foot massage. Shaun loved the idea but as time kept slipping away as he worked we realized that he had too many assignments still due by mid-night. We turned homework into our date night and I sat with Shaun and we did his homework together. It turned out to be so much fun and I am being serious! We laughed and laughed (and yawned -- it was almost midnight) the whole way through it. It brought us closer together and that's what these date nights are for, right?

The GL logo at the top of this Website says "Geology Labs" but it really stands for "Geek Labs"!

Homework was a good date. "Very romantical" ;) ...wait, wheres Shaun? jk

Frisbee and the Gardens

Campus has beautiful gardens with trees and ponds and fountains and flowers. It was fun to walk though because it was so peaceful. This was Shaun's pick, I loved it. There are fields near there and that's where we played frisbee. Shaun knows lots of cool ways to throw the frisbee to make it go where you want. Next to both of these places is an orchard that was also peaceful to walk through. There we saw a rabbit hopping around and we watched some birds try to trick us by acting like they were hurt to distract us and to protect their nest. It was a regular nature channel experience

We really did spend time talking and falling in love as we walked and walked. (Just trust me, ok. You don't need a picture of both of us together even though it was supposed to be a date!)

Karaoke, Anyone?

This was Shaun's turn to pick the date. It was awesome.

We googled "free karaoke music" and found an endless supply of music of all kinds. It worked great and google = free date!

Sometimes this little guy joins us for date night when we are wanting to get started earlier. Family dates count, right? :) He was a natural, by the way!

We took turns picking the songs and we were cracking each other up!

We made BBQ chicken pizza for the first time. I have a feeling that this is going to be a family favorite. We'll eat this pizza every week! ...Ok, maybe not that often.

After Lincoln went to sleep we played Twister. We tried using an automatic caller that we also found through google. The caller was a little too creepy, though. This was fun. We'll be doing it again for sure.
