Our "first's" continue with our first Valentines Day together. It included a romantic Wendy's take out dinner under our homemade blanket fort, watching a great classic chick flick of "While You Were Sleeping." It wasn't spectacular, but it was perfect for us. You can be jealous of our blanket fort if you want, because it was cool.
Unfortunately we also experienced our first car wreck as well (technically it was just me that experienced it. But Derek had sympathy stress with me). And just so you all know... It wasn't my fault (even though the insurance company tried to cheat me out of money by coming up with silly things saying it was my fault). But its all fixed and worked out now so that's all we care about.
On March 28th we participated in our first ever (and the first ever in history) Bucket of Joy Day. Derek did a whole website explaining what it is why we do it and what we did for it. If your curious check it out:
joy.derekmpayne.com . The entire holiday is dedicated to my cousin Jared who passed away from battling cancer for over 9 years. We had a lot of fun participating and Derek had fun designing a website in honor of it all. If you would like to participate yourself...do it. Its great, its fun, and it gives you the warm fuzzy feeling of serving those in need.
Here we are at our first relay for life together. Accompanied by our first survivor walk together. We had some people come up to us and tell us how inspiring we were to see a couple our age walking the survivor lap together. We just both smiled and nodded and then after she left we laughed at the idea of it being inspiring that we both got cancer and now are married and how that is apparently inspiring to people.
And last but not least our first big dumpster dive finding, a desk. Derek and I were out in our parking lot one day and saw a desk with legs poking out of it. We pulled it out and it was brand new. So Derek wiped it down and now each of us have our own desk to work on homework and such.
