Ryan and I have a lot of fun together when it's just the two of us.
Ryan is very good at accents. He has his awesome British accent, his German mad scientist accent, his five-year old Ryan accent, a whole range of Harry Potter accents, his mattress-store salesman accent, and recently I think we've been exploring some Spanish, New Zealand, and Polish (?) accents lately. We can go on for an hour in our accents - and sometimes we forget to switch out of them and it makes for some fun moments.
Ryan is also a very good cook. He invented a delicious steak marinade yesterday, put together the grill, and made dinner while I did homework. He's also great at vacuuming, dusting, cleaning the shower, and taking out the trash. We joke that someday I'll be a real wife - and in the meantime, he's doing a great job :)
We went to a nickel arcade for a fun date recently. Ryan was astounded to learn that I've never played Mario. He had to inform me that mushrooms make you grow, turtles want to kill you, hurling yourself at a flagpole gets you extra points, and jumping up and down on top of pipes makes you sink into the ground and get bonus points. In turn, I informed him that Mario is a plumber. Why else would he crawl around in pipes?
Sometimes we get to babysit for Rachel and Bruce. We babysat for them a couple of weeks ago - and by we I mean Ryan. I had class during most of it so he was on his own. I came just in time to traumatize Hailey while getting her ready for bed (in my defense, I had no idea that her reason for climbing into McKayla's crib was to get a blanket and not to wake up little sister!) Hopefully I'll understand our own children someday better than I understood Hailey!
We went skiing for Ryan's birthday. It was much more successful than skiing on our honeymoon - Ryan LOVES Alta more than Canyons and I have to say I agree. I like the runs much better, and it's so much easier to relax when there aren't crazy snowboarders whizzing around all over the place. We had this great moment where I accidentally fell - and slid halfway down the run because it was so steep. My feet flipped around so I was sailing down the hill on my stomach, headfirst, skis waving in the air, screaming for Ryan to help me. He tried to get in front and stop me, but that only resulted in me pushing him down the mountain too. Fortunately, the whole incident ended with me laughing hysterically and wishing I had a video of it!
February was full of fun adventures - we're excited for March - St Patrick's day, Jen's folk dance performance, springtime, callings, midterms, and more :)
