On today’s episode we talk about how homeschooling is going, and Halloween costumes past and present. We discuss at length why we love having “couple” friends, and tell the story of an attempt to make friends while living in Boise. And finally we talk about why we love the relationships we have with our current group of friends and why it works for us. Specific topic discussed in this episode: (2:00) Our lives are very stressful right now. (4:30) We are trying to understanding of the struggle of our kids with homeschool because it’s not something we dealt with as kids, but we are all having a hard time. (6:15) We spent so much money on Halloween costumes. It should be a crime how much Halloween costumes cost. We switch off every other year with making costumes and buying costumes. (10:45) We reminisce about how costumes worked in our houses while growing up, including an awesome homemade costume Rochelle’s aunt made, and an embarrassing homemade pumpkin costume Scott threw together, plus our favorite childhood costumes. (14:45) Scott talks about fake Halloween blood being forbidden from at his house. (18:00) We discuss couple friends and why we love them. (20:00) We talk about how some of our couple friendships developed, and how we all have done stuff together for over a decade. (23:00) We had a few years while we lived in Boise when we couldn’t see our friends as much, so we had to try and make new friends, with disastrous results. (26:15) We explain why we were nervous to meet our friend’s soon to be wife, because there might not be chemistry with her, even though there was with him, and what ended up happening. (31:30) We think trying to find another couple to be friends with is similar to dating.
