With many recent expenditures, we’ve decided to put an embargo on eating out. This meant more time relaxing at home and a glut of TV watching. Season 5 of Game of Thrones was another engaging thrill ride, although the finale proved once again that no one is safe. To lighten things up, we decided to shift over to watching sitcoms, including Netflix’s incredible Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which reminded us of Tina Fey humor and New York quirkiness, as well as CBS’ Big Bang Theory. Already in its 8th season, the show brilliantly touches on a spectrum of neuroses and eccentricities that are so pervasive and characteristically ingrained in the science and nerd-geek community. And while Melody was keeping step with new seasons of SYTYCD and ABDC, I began working on the new vacation album. The mindless task and dual-screen displays allowed me to clear out part of our movie queue, though none were very memorable. We did score a free screening of Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation from our BMW dealership which was surprisingly decent and entertaining. But perhaps our greatest excitement this summer is the arrival of a new beginning, which we hope is the start of a new adventure for us. We made the official announcement to our parents this weekend, and already my mom has added us to her Costco membership. Our life is about to change, and after many years, we feel finally ready.
