I still need to get Kevin a gift for February (candy, since I accidentally switched 6th and 8th gifts). In the meantime, this weekend we went to the pottery class I signed us up for. Kevin had “Unchained Melodies” ready to play on his phone at any moment but wimped out and missed a lot of perfect opportunities.

Other than all the reminders the instructor had to give Kevin to put his shirt back on, it was such a fun date. It brought back some of the thrill and newness that marked our first couple years together. And it turns out we’re not too old to learn new tricks:

Just kidding—those were the instructor’s. Here are ours:

I think we actually invented some new kinds of dishes, like the cupvase and the bowlpot. If you can’t tell by looking, these gems weigh about a pound each. And this is only half of our finished ones.
And not only did we have a fun evening together, but as a bonus we also have all of next year’s Christmas shopping done. Just let us know early if you’re in for tombstone gray or toilet plunger brown, m’kay?
