'Tis The Season!

It's Christmas Time!
Finally!

I don't know how many of you heard, but we were supposed to have the storm of the century up here in Utah the day before Thanksgiving. Campus closed, flights were cancelled, we were even sent home early from work. We waited and waited for the so called Snowpocalypse... to no avail. Nothing even stuck. Cold as heck! But dry as a bone! But behold... Saturday night we got this...


Anyway... back to Christmas!

I know the season will be gone before I can even get myself organized... that's kind of how Christmas goes, isn't it? Probably wouldn't be the same without all the mad rush and crazy delirium. But I'm sure gonna try and test that theory. I am attempting to organize everything Christmas. A fun little viral bug has put me a bit behind, but I shall not give in to that devious Grinch! The trash is empty, the dishes are done, and as long as I don't look over my right shoulder into the bedroom... the house is clean! We even helped our neighbors put Christmas lights up on our cute little cottage! ("The Cottage"... what Aspen Ridge Management calls our lovely little dwelling!)


Take that viral infection!

Ps... Sorry about no post for Thanksgiving. We had a grand time with the Dan's family, love them all! I was in the middle of the post when I got fed up with my computer's dumb antics (lost my gracious feelings). Then I got miserably sick (still fighting it off). Anyway... I'll make it up. One day...

Just A Rainy Night

The husband is in bed... sleeping away his sickness.

The rain is falling; a clear, gentle melody on our tin roof.

I can hear the cars passing by, the sound of wet tires creating waves of splashes on wet roads. (I know you know the sound I'm talking about.)

Mmmmmmm!!!!

I figured, what better time to finally write the first post of our blog. It's been a long time coming. I hesitated at first; wanting to avoid the appearance of jumping on the newlywed blog bandwagon. But secretly... I really wanted to hop on. (Shhhh).

Besides, as most my friends and family can (and will) attest, I'm not very good at keeping everyone caught up. And despite marrying the most amazing man I know, he's worse than I am at "k.i.t". Given that we'll be pretty far away from everyone come next fall, I decided there was no reason to wait any longer in keeping everyone up to date! Well... anyone interested at least :)

Actually... I decided this about a month ago. It took awhile to figure out the technicalities. Really, is there anything more anxiety-inducing than picking the permanent domain name of a blog!? That took us quite awhile to figure out.

So as a brief explanation, Dan and I, we're goofballs. 23/7.

Love = Lurve.

And given our wonderful, just-about-out-of-college status...that's all we have to give.

So for now (and I hope, honestly, for always)...

...Nothin' But Lurve.
