Random Happenings
Not much has been happening around here lately, but I thought that in the interest of keeping our promise to provide more regular updates, I should at least write a little something.Leia and I have been extremely busy with our respective jobs, as well as youth ministry stuff. I think we're both going through "half-way between summer and Christmas burn-out" at the moment. We really need a vacation, and there's none in sight.
We enjoyed our night out last Tuesday, although the Asian fusion restaurant proved to be a bit of a disappointment. The sushi was very nice, but the hot dishes were nothing special. We're eyeing a Polynesian place for our next "month-iversary" dinner.
On Thursday night three of our good friends visited the apartment and Leia made a lovely chicken curry. We had a lot of fun talking and laughing with them (although the girls did most of the talking whilst I struggled to keep up with a running stream of inside jokes and allusions to people they went to high school with). :-)
Some friends of Leia's family visited from England this past weekend, and we enjoyed chatting with Leia's good friend Irene for a bit. She had missed out on our wedding because of her job, so Leia got to show off wedding pictures, which always makes her giddy.
Tonight we're taking a group of Leia's Media Studies students to see the new M. Night Shyamalan film, Lady in the Water. Leia and I are pretty big fans of his, but we've heard very mixed reviews on this one, so we'll have to wait and see. At any rate, it should be a fun evening out.
That's about it I suppose. Nothing too remarkable. Still, it's nice to have a group of people who care about what's going on with us, even when nothing is going on. Please feel free to give us updates on the minutiae of your own lives any time.
Here's your quote for the day. I'm going to try to get back to doing more of this kind of stuff:
"Do not forget that the value and interest of life is not so much to do conspicuous things . . . as to do ordinary things with the perception of their enormous value."
–Teilhard de Chardin
Until next time . . .

Just hearing about the little nothings of your lives makes you feel not as far away as you really are. So write on!
did you guys like lady in the water? i really liked it, although it wasn't a scary as i expected. bummer about no halloween, my friend christine and i dressed up as thing 1 and thing 2 (from the cat in the hat), and i think sarah was a pirate.
Love you both,
Katie
