Roger woke up early this morning and went to work, I had the day off. Amanda and I did a few things around the house and then did school work. Roger ended up getting off work early so he came home.
Amanda had to be at work at 1pm, so we dropped her off and went back out to Layton to the AMC theater for our free show. Finally, we were able to get into a show, although not the show we wanted. We had gone to go see Monument Men but ended up watching Robo Cop instead. It was alright. Since we were early for the show, we walked around the Layton Hills Mall for a little bit.

February 22, 2014 Kelly, Amanda, Molly, Noah
This afternoon I took Amanda, Molly, and Noah with me to the Safe Kids Fair at the Southtowne Expo center where I was running a booth and obstacle course. Mostly they played and looked around while I worked.
Afterwards I took the kids to a gymnastics meet at the University of Utah against Oregon State. Molly really loves gymnastics and I knew she would really have a good time. I was glad Amanda seemed to have a good time as well. Noah enjoyed a good amount of it, but soon grew tired and was ready to go. I relented to letting him play a game on my cell phone for the last 15-20 minutes of the show.
On our way home we stopped for ice cream sundae's at McDonalds and talked about our day. I had a great time with the kids.
Unfortunately (or fortunately, not really sure), Roger stayed home by himself all day. He wasn't really interested in coming, as I knew he wouldn't be. We left at noon and didn't get back until almost 10pm. He said he had things to do and I know for part of that he enjoyed the peace and quiet since things have not been so good with Amanda lately. I know there are times I really enjoy just being home alone for awhile. I am really looking forward to my date with Roger next Friday.

February 21, 2014 Saving Mr. Banks
This morning I suggested to Roger that we invite some couples over tonight and play some games. He hesitated and then indicated that he had a long week and was very tired and would prefer to not have anyone over because he didn't want to fall asleep or feel like he had to stay up late.
That evening on the way home, Roger asked what we should do that night. Knowing that he didn't want to stay up late and that we were getting home at a good time, that we make a nice dinner together. We hadn't really had dinner together since Monday night so I thought that would be really nice, especially since we both love to cook. When we got home we looked at different things to cook and I was singing the song to Mary Poppins for some reason. Roger suggested we go out to pizza and I suggested we rent the movie Mary Poppins while we were out.
Roger said there was a movie called Saving Mr. Banks that was about the making of Mary Poppins and that we should rent that instead. Turns out, it doesn't come out to DVD until April, but it was still playing in the discount theatre. We didn't have time to go out to eat and the theater so we made a quick salad and Roger, Amanda, and I went to the movies. I really enjoyed the show, and I still want to see Mary Poppins :)

February 15, 2014 Brigham Temple
This afternoon Roger and I attended a sealing session in the Brigham temple. We stopped at Kentucky Fried Chicken on our way out to get something to eat before our session. The sealing session was really a great experience! Then we went to DQ for ice cream on our way home. That evening I did have to finish a school assignment, but the afternoon together was very pleasant. We also spent much time in conversation about Amanda since she has to make some major changes in her life this week and we discussed the best ways for us to address this with her. I like working together with him no these things.
February 14, 2014 Valentine's Day
After work we went to the Valentine's dinner and dance at the church. We were a little late, but still in time that they were still just eating salad. Tiffany and James Dabb joined us shortly afterwards, they were just a little later than we were. When the dinner came out, it was not gluten free so I couldn't eat it, but they brought me extra salad and a potato salad. When dessert was announced, ice cream, Roger didn't want to go get me one, so James Dabb got me one, he even brought back one for Roger and Tiffany and did not eat one for himself. Things seemed to be going pretty slow there and dancing wasn't really starting. Tiffany suggested we go to our place and watch a movie. That was great for me because I was having cramps and could barely move, I was grateful for the suggestion. We came back to the house and popped popcorn. I chose a movie called All is Lost. Not a great pick and everyone laughed at my bad choice yet again.
February 13, 2014 N.H. Valentine Ball
Neighborhood House Valentines Dinner and Ball
While we may not have spent the evening together, it meant a lot to me that Roger volunteered of his time to help at this big event. He managed the kitchen, serving up the dinner for all the attendees and helping to manage a group of teenage volunteers who helped him. Afterwards, he helped to clean up, without a murmur of complaint. I was grateful for his help and that he spent the time for me, even though I was doing different things that evening and didn't see him a lot. He did bring me chocolates from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and I was very happy :)

January 31, 2014 - Comedy Sportz Club Provo
Tonight we went to the Comedy Sportz Club off center street in Provo. A bit of a drive, but I really wanted the show :) Roger was good to agree. Roger and Amanda and I drove out after work. Melissa and Adam and Katie Button and her mom met us out there for the show. Unfortunately the show was so full we couldn't all sit together. But the show was as great as I knew it would be. I was happy. It was good to see Roger and Amanda laughing and really enjoying themselves.
Before the show we were able to have dinner a couple blocks down the road at a Mexican restaurant where we were joined by Roger's niece, Melanie and her boyfriend. I really enjoyed it.

February 7-8, 2014 - Roger sick...
Roger has been sick all week. He started feeling sick the evening of the comedy show, actually the day before. But he has really had a hard week and so he has been resting and took Monday and Friday off work. So we spent some time together watching movies on the couch so he could rest.
