Doesn&#8217;t get much better than that.<br \/>\nWe came back to our place for a while and enjoyed some hot apple pie and vanilla ice cream while they looked at our wedding and honeymoon pics.<br \/>\nWe crashed around 10 or so, shortly after they left.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think either of us were out of bed till after 11 a.m. the next morning. I woke up a couple times after 8 a.m. but said there&#8217;s no way I&#8217;m getting out of bed today unless I have to.<br \/>\nFinally around 1 p.m. or so we spent a couple hours <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geocaching.com\">geocaching<\/a> around Waxahachie.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jdblundell\/828367122\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm2.static.flickr.com\/1220\/828367122_08b108457b.jpg?v=0\" width=400><\/a><br \/>\nThe batteries on our GPS unit were going bad so we struggled to keep it alive long enough to get two caches in.<br \/>\nOn our hunt we were the first to find <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/seek\/cache_details.aspx?guid=6ae65105-ba8c-4b77-a9e0-efb6b2296b1d\">one cache<\/a> and also spent some time looking at homes in two of the neighborhoods near the caches we found.<br \/>\nWe grabbed some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chickfila.com\">Chick-Fil-A<\/a> on the way home and then jumped in the pool for an hour or so.<\/p>\n<p>After swimming, our friends <strong>Amy<\/strong> and <strong>Josh<\/strong> came down from Dallas and joined us for some more Mexican food at Don Jose&#8217;s Mexicant Restaran (yes &#8211; that&#8217;s really how it&#8217;s spelled on their sign :-)).<br \/>\nJosh was actually one of the few people this weekend to notice my &#8220;psuedo-beard&#8221; (or at least make mention of it).<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jdblundell\/827504777\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm2.static.flickr.com\/1207\/827504777_17e256c7a4.jpg?v=0\" width=400><\/a><br \/>\nAfter breaking out with poison ivy in a few places on my face this week I thought it would be best to not shave those areas directly, so rather than keeping my gottee and pretty scraggly face, I just decided to trim it all on Saturday afternoon and make it a lot closer to the same length.<br \/>\nThe jury&#8217;s still out. I&#8217;m not a fan and <strong>Laurie<\/strong> said she&#8217;s still trying to make up her mind about it as well.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, after dinner we headed over to the Texas Theater to watch <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/profile.myspace.com\/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&#038;friendid=69625725&#038;MyToken=52d6f0f4-7af0-49dd-ae36-fd4aff15534e\">Shari<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/afterhoursimprov\">Smiley<\/a><\/strong> and their improv group, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.afterhoursimprov.com\">After Hours Improv<\/a>.<br \/>\nThey had a great show with over 130 people in attendance. If you think about it, do say a prayer for them. They got some bad news after the show regarding their plans for the next year or so.<\/p>\n<p>Amy and Josh came back to Casa de Blundell after the show and looked at our wedding pics, as well as a photo album <strong>Laurie<\/strong> put together for them of pics we took at their wedding in June.<br \/>\nSleep came soon after they left as well.<\/p>\n<p>We wrapped the weekend up with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.encounterthis.com\">church<\/a> on Sunday morning, where <strong>Brian<\/strong> talked on the <span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"http:\/\/www.encounterthis.com\/podcast\/071507.mp3\">context of Christianity<\/span> and how so often we view Christianity out of it&#8217;s intended context &#8211; but inside it&#8217;s proper context it can be a beautiful thing.<br \/>\nWe came home, enjoyed some homemade pizzas and then Laurie spent the rest of the day studying for a skills test she has to take for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.childrens.com\">work<\/a> today.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jdblundell\/828369100\/in\/photostream\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm2.static.flickr.com\/1053\/828369100_630666377f.jpg?v=0\" width=400><\/a><br \/>\nWhile she studied I uploaded the podcast for the week, did a couple loads of laundry and took a nice nap.<br \/>\nAround 9 p.m. or so I started getting a little stir crazy and after our Internet went down (for some unknown, frustrating reason) I spent the rest of my evening wasting time playing with our camera and coming up with new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbandictionary.com\/define.php?term=myspace+angle\">Myspace angle photos<\/a>.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jdblundell\/828368644\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm2.static.flickr.com\/1201\/828368644_cf3ed41adc.jpg?v=0\"><\/a><br \/>\nI also did a goofy animation with our camera.<br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/www.casadeblundell.com\/jonathan\/wp-content\/uploads\/stairs.gif' title='stairs.gif'><img src='http:\/\/www.casadeblundell.com\/jonathan\/wp-content\/uploads\/stairs.gif' alt='stairs.gif' width=400><\/a><br \/>\nNow I just need to extend it by five minutes or so and add music from <strong>The White Stripes<\/strong> &#8220;The Hardest Button to Button&#8221;<br \/>\n<object width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/gLESpHrtvxs\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><\/object><br \/>\nSo there you have it &#8211; a photographic recap (somewhat) of a lazy weekend at Casa de Blundell.<br \/>\nFor more entertaining stories, be sure and drop by and read <a href=\"http:\/\/rmfo-blogs.com\/brandi\/\"><strong>Brandi&#8217;s<\/strong> recaps of Summer Camp<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well Laurie and I enjoyed a great fairly lazy weekend the past few days.
