the leavitts.

here is what we did with our friday...

it was probably the nicest day of the year so far. tank, chet, and i went on a super long walk to take advantage of it. matt was stuck at school. my plan was to get some sun while we were out, and i did. but, unfortunately i got myself a nice farmers tan. i guess i'll take what i can get though.

later in the day we went to the rexburg farmers market. it is held every friday in the summer. it was the cutest thing. i don't think i will ever want to live somewhere with a small town feel, but i do find it adorable. there were so many fun things to look at in the farmers market. (and funny people to look at). matt bought some stinky cheese. and we bought a scone to share. it was massive. in the battle of leavitts vs scone, the scone won.there was a lady at the farmers market selling ties for little boys. they were really cute. i hate her!

i decided matt and i should get a booth and sell crepes. i think we'd do so good. now if only we could get our crepe maker to work... that silly thing has been sitting in its box since we bought it 2 years ago in france.

after the farmers market we went on a hunt for a good movie to rent. i wanted to see valentines day. matt wanted to see gran torino. but after going to 4 red boxes we didn't find either. we ended up getting dear john. now before i talk about dear john, i want to rant about how much i prefer a real movie store to a red box. the pressure i feel when we are trying to pick out a movie and there is a line up behind us really stresses me out. i guess red boxes are good cause they are super cheap and are open 24 hours, but i'm not converted to them yet. i don't have much choice here in rexburg though. i think every movie store has shut down now.

now, on to the movie. dear john. what a sad sad show. sad sad sad sad sad.

i was up most of the night being sad because of it. thanks a lot dear john. i should have known that it would do that to me. when ever i dwell too much on the years that matt was in france i get upset. those were a tough 2 years. very confusing, frustrating, lonely. last night i pulled out our letters. those letters are so fun to read now. i think i was a good letter writer...i feel like i had so much more faith back then. i would never say that i handled those years well, but i think i would do even worse if i had to do it now. i have told matt that i will cut off one of his limbs before i let him go on another mission or get recruited to the army!
