Movies, Eagles & Hair

Last Friday night, Matt and I went to a Warren Miller show. It was a two hour movie of extreme skiing and snowboarding that pumped us up for a snowboarding trip! We went to it because we received free lift tickets just by purchasing these movie tickets. It was a really good deal for us. Check out this clip from YouTube for just a snippet of the movie.






We did go watch Fireproof (the movie) on Saturday! I won't speak for Matt, but let me just tell you...I was bawling by the end of it. It was a happy cry though! Not to spoil it for anyone...but there are three things I love in a movie 1) A love story 2) A PG rating and 3) A happy ending! This movie delivered all components! Plus so much more including TRUTH-from a biblical perspective. It was an enjoyable date night night (actually afternoon) movie! I strongly recommend it. Check out the preview here.

Sunday Night football featured the Eagles and the Giants this past week.
Not a happy ending...but I will post a few pics anyway because I don't have much else to document!

Matt relaxed and I worked on getting our Christmas cards ready to mail during the game!
















Definitely not the best night for the Eagles...but we remain fans just the same! Especially "Cunningham" here on the right. :)













On a side note, I got a new do! Not necessarily on purpose, but I had a very nice neighbor who is in beauty school highlight my hair. It didn't quite work out as planned and I ended up with orange hair! So I bit the bullet (as my good friend and amazing hairstylist in Indiana, Jessica, advised) and paid for a professional to fix my hair. While she worked to fix my color she decided to give me a bit of a chop as well. Here is the end result.

Brief Update

Sorry it has been so long. This post isn't going to be great...but least you will have heard from us! As you saw in the last post...I am working now. So our lives have drastically changed! We are very busy as I am getting settled in my job and am learning a lot of new things. Don't get me wrong. I am thankful for my position at Colonial Columns and I love working at the same place Matt does. I love overhearing someone talking about what a great PT Matt is. Or how much the little old ladies like him :)

I actually brought in my first admission yesterday and Matt was doing an eval on the patient while I had the patient's spouse fill out the paperwork in the patient's room. I loved watching him at work...he was so good with a somewhat resistant and confused patient. But he won her over and she cooperated. This particular situation was a difficult one as the husband had to leave her over night for the first time in 55 years because he can longer care for her on his own. It literally broke my heart. They are so in love with each other. The night before I was a mess because I thought we weren't going to be able to take the patient because I was having difficulty with the insurance company. Matt and I prayed earnestly for this couple and God answered our prayers! While this job is very challenging at times...it also offers great fulfillment in situations such as this.

Last weekend Matt and I went to a marriage simulcast at a local church with Josh & Amber. It was great. It was called "Fireproof Your Marriage" and was hosted at the church that produced the movie Fireproof. We have not yet seen this movie, but are planning on going. It has an outstanding message for husbands and wives. As a culture, we abandon our marriage vows way too easily. This movie stresses the importance of fighting for your marriage and setting aside your selfish desires to meet your spouses desires. Excellent message.

That's all I have for now. I'm exhausted. I was in Denver today for an all day meeting with all of the facilities in our region. Not to make it sound too terrible...I was the winner of laser tag...and bowling! :) We had fun after the meetings! It was a good opportunity to get to know everyone.

I hope to get some pics up here soon...I know they are more fun. :) We love you all!!
