It's been a while since I last blogged. months? probably. I recently lost a bet with Bethany and so i lost the privilege to use facebook for a whole year. Well that is going to be rough to say the least, but i have willpower and am doing great so far. day 24. My goal for this blog is to keep in touch with friends and be able to take a look at my life. I hope i keep with it this time.
Since Bethany and I got married in july we have done a pretty good job at keeping in touch at hanging out with our friends. it was really easy for a while for me since i worked with scott and saw him everyday. Over the past couple of weeks though we haven't seen our friends as much as we used to so we decided to branch out a little bit.
Here's the thing about meeting married couples and hanging out with them. It's almost like dating all over again, except with more people. I mean one person has to get some courage to ask the other if they want to get together sometime and they have to say yes. Usually these two people are already friends, it's the spouses that you want to really befriend. So then you have to come up with a fun activity to lure them into your friendship trap, so that way the spouses will like each other and also your new friend. Then there are the first conversations and the occasional awkward moments, all hoping that this couple will like you enough to have a second hangout. This is the truth.
So with all of that in mind, Bethany and I went in search of some more friends that we might fill some spare time with people we like. At my job I work with this guy named Paul. He is fancy. well not really he just is super funny and likes really funny things, like hyperbole and a half and dinosaur comics, just like i do. So paul and I have worked together for about 3 weeks and we decided that it was probably best that we hangout in another venue besides the QA lab. We decided to play racquetball.

we were blurs on the court. JK, that's not us. haha
Saturday morning we went to the BYU courts and paul showed me what's up with racquetball and we played for like a half an hour. I was broken down after that. So we went and pumped some iron in the weight room and then went home.
later that evening Bethany and I went over to paul's apartment to meet his wife and play games. we had a blast.

that's them. His wife's name is Lauren. she's smart.
we also ate bread. after the hangout we recieved the complementary after hangout text confirming to me that there would indeed be more hangouts in the future. we have married friends!
so this is my new blog. this post was sort of boring. for reals. but it should be getting better soon! k bye!
