One of our favorite movie scenes of all time is the “pool of noodles” scene from Patch Adams.
If you’re not familiar with this scene, you need to stop everything you’re doing, watch this clip, and then come back and finish reading this post.
Amazing, right? We think so, too.
So, each week, we’ve decided to pull one pink slip from our vase at home and share the story behind it with the world in a new series called…
From the Pink Slip Files…
Some of them will make you smile and laugh, others might make you gasp, or even cry, but we hope all of them will connect us more deeply with you — and connect you more deeply to the people you love.
If you want, you can even join us on the adventure. Go out, buy a stack of colored paper, and start filling a vase with your favorite memories.
After all, you can’t swim in a pool of them if you don’t start today…

Words can’t express how much I love this! And, my bf and I just watched Patch Adams a few weeks ago! Love that movie and I have to agree, that scene touches my heart. So sweet. We’ve only been dating for a year so I think this will be the perfect activity to do this weekend to get our memory files started. We already have so many! Thanks for sharing your stories and I hope to do the same once I have a stack. 🙂

So sweet, sentimental and creative! Love this! Can’t have too many memories or reminders of moments together! Uncle Rick gave me a book of letters he wrote to me over a three month period when we were dating and it is a treasure to me now, as these must be for you both. You 2 are awesome!
