6 random things

I was asked by Amanda to write six random things, like her post on the subject. Actually, she called for a list from Lauren + David. So, here is our list, as the collective consciousness that married couples seem to become:

  1. I discovered recently that not only do David and I talk to each other in our sleep (something that wakes me up from time to time), but David also solves problems in his sleep. I woke up Saturday night to David's mumbling, something that happens on occasion (I once heard him exclaim that the answer was 54...to what, who knows). I was trying to make out the words when he suddenly sat part of the way up and leaned over across me, tapping his fingers on my stomach like it was a keyboard. Then he reached under the blanket and was moving his hand back and forth, which I assume was the mouse. It was all the self control I could muster not to giggle. After just a few moments of this, he decided to lie back down and roll over.
  2. We both love horror movies, even the cheesy ones that are more laughable than frightening. Much of the training we do can be justified as preparing for survival in a zombie apocalypse...which I swear is just a coincidence.
  3. We could probably eat different kinds of pasta every night for dinner and be perfectly content.
  4. Part of the thrill of all the crazy things we do (run marathons, climb mountains, skydive, etc) is having the vast majority of people think we're crazy for doing it. The other part of the thrill is the accomplishment when we succeed. (We each thank the other often for being equally as crazy.)
  5. Unlike some couples (it would seem), we actually do prefer to hang out with each other, and haven't yet found the need for time away - we mostly just do it because we know our lives should be well-rounded, and because we have other people we love and want to spend time with. I know it's mushy, but it's true.
  6. We've decided that Denver is probably our favorite place in the country, but we're not sure if we'll ever live there, since being closer to family is much higher on our list of priorities.

There ya go... Now back to work.
