Another movie, a different day

I started off my day at IPFW taking a Spanish placement test. It was so old school, like it came right out of the late 60's. The paper was even really really old. This may have been the first test that I missed EVERY SINGLE QUESTION... ohh well, I could have told them I needed to start over in Spanish anyways. So, the day continued on. The day continued on and I got to spend a lot of it on the couch, which was awesome! In the evening hours I went to see the movie JUNO with a bunch of male Young Life leaders at the dollar theater. It was a really emotional movie for me because it brought up a lot of raw emotions that had to do with adoption and the whole situation. I really thought about my biological mother, and how insanely difficult it must have been. Then I thought about my real moms situation and how horribly difficult it must have been for her as well. It was just really pressing for me for some reason.

We went back to Starbucks for some coffee and had some great talks. I think I freaked them out when I shared my thoughts on the government, and politics. I don't know if they expected that out of me....well it's out there now!

just a simple question that maybe is none of my business..how can you afford to go out to movies almost every night, plus dinner, or starbucks afterword..my wife and i both work full time and with gas costs and groceries, etc we have to cut down on extras..if you are not working much any more how can you keep up the social life....driving all over, movies, dinners, coffee, etc..Your life sounds pretty good to us and we both work 8 hrs every day, so just wondering how you pull it off

That's a good question. Well, Thursday I had CarMike(Cinema) Bucks left from Christmas, so it was actually free. My friend Nate took me to Starbucks to meet his girl friend, then purchased my drink for me as a way to say "thanks for talking" He also drove, which saved me on gas. I drive a lot with Young Life activities, but YL is pretty good on reimbursing me for ga$. I also live at home because I need my dad's health insurance, so I cut back on a lot of bills there.
