Q. Why haven't you blogged?
A. I have things.
Q. What "things" keep you away from blogging?
A. I have been working, playing, and relaxing. It has been a great summer. I am learning to play tennis and it is my goal to play three times a week. I am also getting pretty good at scrabble and acquire. As I currently write this, I am the reining champion of both games. I have been watching a lot of the Olympics and HGTV.
Q. What fun things have you done lately.
A. Let's focus on this weekend.
On Thursday Trent and I went to a nearby park amphitheater. There was a free performance of 1776-the musical. We ate some yummy food and enjoyed the show. Who knew that John A. and Ben F. were such good singers and liked to swear. I also gained a great quote that I enjoy saying sarcastically "To your legal mind and brilliance I defer." It was such a great time and the very reason that I love living in DC. Not to mention the fun people watching that occurs -a man and woman that wore "Thing 1" and "Thing 2" shirts.
This Friday Trent and I went out with our friends Derek and Joni. We took the metro to Ben's Chili Bowl to get a true DC experience. When we arrived, the line was outside and down the block. I had never seen this many people there. Come to find out, we had come on the 50th anniversary of Ben's Chili Bowl. We even got stickers! That night we went to a theater to watch Get Smart. There were only about twenty people in the audience. As we were almost to the end of the movie, the film stopped. All of a sudden a girl jumped out of her seat and ran to the projector room. Then the film began to burn. You could see it burning and melting away on the screen. It looked like a burning liquid. It was the best part of the movie. We were told there was chaos in the control room but we would get free movie passes. We were laughing so hard all the way home. We talked about Idaho words such as Jockey Box (glove compartment for all you not from Idaho.) I am the jockey.
Saturday I woke up and went to the temple. I had a great time doing intiatories. Then I had some errands to run in order to get ready for the Hick Fest next weekend. Look for that post later!

Ahh, sweet nectar of life...the Mandy Pandy Blog returns! We know, living life is important, but no more than telling us about it, dang it!! j/k. Sorry we never got in touch last week but we're back home now, give us a call some time so we can catch up.
Love, the Matthews
Are Trent and Derek holding hands?
Mandy,
I hear you are the expert on google analytics. I'm completely lost. How am I going to figure it out without your expertise?!!
Long live the jockey box and the borrow pit!
because we have been in Cali and out of the loop and you have not been blogging, I thought that you and trent might have broken up... sad. So I am happy that things are still going strong and even happier that we can double still. Or even triple with Joni and Derek... please let us know when you want to play!!
