Mindy's Non-Adventures

    When Mr. Incredible and I were engaged, we were completely and utterly broke. What do totally broke people do when they have no furniture and are determined to get married anyway? They ask if anyone has any extra furniture they'd like to give to a loving home. Seriously, LOVE was all we had at the time! People (mostly family) gave us a couch, chairs, tables, end tables, electronics, and dressers.

Before you jump on me for this, know that the windows were all rolled down and I was maybe 40 feet away, watching the whole time, and I was out of the van for maybe 4 minutes.
