What's up with the Woods?

So one of the exciting things that took place this week was getting our federal tax refund sooner than we expected. And with those funds we decided to "reward" ourselves with new cell phones. So Saturday we went out to the cell phone store and played with all the different phones there and we both decided on the new Droid. And the only reason "we" decided on that particular phone is because I know absolutely nothing about cell phones so it has become the norm that I get the same phone that Ross does and then he just teaches me how to use it. So needless to say this weekend has been fairly unproductive except for trying to figure out how these new devices work. And after owning them for 1 day, so far they have been pretty fun and can do quite a few things.

Back in September after we got settled in and found a church we liked, we joined a small study group for Young Married Couples that meet once a week. The meeting last week and tonight focused on communication within the marriage. So tonight the group made a field trip to the Ace Hardware store for a scavenger hunt. The way it worked was that the husbands would stand outside the store with a list of 20 different items from the store and would talk to their wives on their cell phones who were inside the store trying to find as many items on the list as possible within 10 mins. But the catch was that the guys could only describe the items without actually saying what the items were. Out of the 6 couples we tied for first, but we should have won because there was some miss-communication as to what a certain item on the list was (not that either of us are competitive). Overall we had an awesome time and learned that we do a pretty good job of communicating with each other.

Looking ahead this week are a couple events going on. On Monday, Ross is meeting with one of his professors to discuss a summer externship possibility with a criminal attorney. On Thursday, the school is putting on a charity event for Multiple Sclerosis that we are going to attend. There is supposed to be live music, a comedian, and a special guest from the TV show CSI:Las Vegas! We are both looking forward to that. I think Ross is also looking forward to getting through this coming week only because Spring Break is next week so he will have some time to both catch up one some work and have some time to relax.
