Dig It Up Up Holes & Brian Regan

This weekend we went to see Brian Regan with my work to celebrate one year of Dr Cannon owning the practice.
I am so blessed to work with such great people!

Unfortunately, my body doesn't hold up very well after 9pm so we had to cut the night short and missed out on ice cream  :(
All in all, it was still a fun night though!

On a different and unrelated note:

Clayson and I like to read books together.

Our most recent book was Holes!

Clayson had never read the book before, so I was so excited for his reaction.

Sadly, I fell asleep for the the last chapters of the book, so I didn't get to see it.
(Again, that's what happens when you try to keep me up past 9:00 these days. I'm just not capable of it. )

But Clayson said he liked the book and how it ended, so I guess that's what really matters.

When we finished reading Divergent I made a surprise theme date out of it that was really fun,
so I wanted to do something similar to celebrate finishing Holes.

This one was much more low key.

Ideally we would have taken a hike to the Wind Caves or had a picnic at the Concrete Jungle, but at the moment, I lack the stamina for such physical activity. So instead, we walked around Second Damn for about 5 minutes and called it good.
Definitely similar to hiking up Big Thumb like they did in Holes, right?  :)

Then we came home and watched Holes and ate Funyuns (instead of onions), peaches, and sunflower seeds.

It's been a fun weekend.

Divergent

We saw Divergent with some friends when it first came out. 

We liked it, so we decided to read the book together. It's been really fun and we finished it in 2 weeks. 

We were slightly obsessed.

This was taken on a different day,
but ironically we were actually both wearing the exact same thing

To celebrate finishing the book, I decided to do a Divergent themed date.

There are 5 Factions in the book, so we represented each throughout the date:

Dauntless - The Brave

I only worked a half day at work, but I conveniently "forgot" to tell Clayson.
When he came home (he usually beats me home from work) I ambushed him with my Auto Strike Dart Gun.

War immediately ensued.

battle wound from shooting my gun. It hurts.

Clayson dominated in Target practice, but I won the war  :)

We also gave each other [stick on] tattoos, like the Dauntless. This picture shows Four on the left and Clayson on the right.
The resemblance is striking  :)

Erudite - The Intelligent

To represent Erudite, we took a test. 

What better test to take then the Aptitude Test to see which faction we belong to?

Results:

Clayson: Dauntless

Allison: Amity

Candor - The Honest

To represent Candor, we played Two Truths and a Lie. 

It was challenging to find something that the other didn't already know!

(sorry, no picture)

Amity - The Kind

Amity is "the kind" but they are also known as "the peaceful."

To get our inner peace, we had Yoga competitions to see who could hold the pose longest.

Of course, I won because Amity is my faction  :)

Abnegation - The Selfless

To represent Abnegation, we gave each other back/head massages while we watched the movie Divergent. 

Unfortunately, our massages were kind of weak because we were too caught up in pointing out things that were different in the movie
 and saying what we liked better/worse. 

We were so caught up in the events of the night that we forgot to eat dinner. 

Luckily, I had made chocolate brownies to represent the chocolate cake that they eat in Dauntless.

Brownies for dinner is always a good idea, right? 

Clayson eats the middle and I eat the edges. We work well together.

And why not brownies for breakfast too?
