The one with the Pumpkin Patch (video)

Ok, so on Friday we were going to go to the Newport Beach Temple. It was all set. Paige would drive to the temple, bring Blake's bag with her and some nice Temple type clothes and he would meet her there (he works in NPB) change, and it would be great! so Paige grabbed, what she though were appropriate clothes, and headed down (but not before she stopped by Deseret Book and picked up a "Willow Tree" statue, "Together" because Blake got "Promise" for our wedding present). Then Blake called and said he would be a little late, so Paige should just go in and leave his clothes in the car. So she went in over an hour early. (we were aiming for a 3 o'clock session) and 3 comes and goes...Blake is no where to be seen...they even held the session checking to see if he was there or not...but eventually, they had to start with out him. so Paige is very worried. She thinks maybe something happened or he was hurt or in trouble, becaue she knows he wouldn't just not show up and she knows he really wanted to be in the Temple. so after the session was over she went to her car and called him, he said "i couldnt go in, you didn't bring the right clothes." She had brought, along with a tie and pants, a short sleeve shirt. for those of you who didn't know this, men do not have a Temple shirt, like women have temple dresses, they just wear a long sleeve white shirt to the temple and thats their temple shirt for the day... Paige didn't know this...now she does.
So later that night we're supposed go out for sushi with Blake's parents, Jordan (his brother) and Jamie (Jordan's girlfriend) in Laguna Beach, but since we're already down that way, we decided to drive around for a bit. We were north of LB so we started driving south on PCH. Normally Laguna Beach is beautiful in and of itself, but the air that night was especially clear because it had rained earlier. As we were driving down admiring the coastline, the sun began to set and the sight was so overwhelming Blake said, "We have to pull over and watch this sunset." So we did just that and watched the sun set slowly over the clearest view of Catalina Island while we held each other in our arms. It was an amazing moment (we did not have, unfortunately, our camera with us at the time so you cannot enjoy the sight, but any time you want us to hold each other in our arms we'd be glad to do that so you can see).
An hour or so later, we were eating gourmet sushi celebrating Jordan's reaching a quarter of a century in age. We thoroughly enjoy the company of the Greens (Blake's parents).
On saturday, we decided we were going to cash in our target giftcards and buy a digital video camera. So we went into Best Buy to research the product options, and we ended up looking at some computers as well. We were all set to buy one when Paige's dad called and said he wanted to come by and help us make sure we were getting a great deal (or so Paige thought... unbeknownst to her, men were devising a plan). When he got there he looked around and started drilling the sales guy on our options. After a while of that he said, "Ok, well I'm going to buy you guys this computer for your wedding present," after which he quickly continued his dealings with the sales guy. Paige was shocked, Blake was smiling having been in on the idea prior (Paige's dad had told him about it over the phone and said it would be a surprise for Paige). So he bought us a computer with the works and as quickly as he came he kissed his daughter and left to hit a bucket of balls. Then we went to target at the renovated Whitwood shopping center in Whittier and bought us a sweet, sweet digi-camera.
On sunday we went to church and listened to the little kids in the Primary Program sing songs of faith. They were adorable. Paige got to sit up on the stand with them and monitor their reverence ("shhhh"). Later that night we had a waffle birthday dinner for Jordan (the Green family traditionally has waffles with strawberries and whipped cream, bacon, eggs, hash browns, and we recently started having orange julius as well on the morning of a birthday, but Jordan isn't much of a morning person so we try to be accomodating).
Monday night was Family Home Evening and we decided to go to a local pumpkin patch on Imperial at Puente. There were inflated slides, bounce houses (not for us big kids), a petting zoo and lots of pumpkins. We had lots of fun filming the activities and left with a little white pumpkin and some pics and vids to share.

That's all. We're enjoying our lives and hope you are too. Buh-bye.
