Its been a while since the last post. I would like to say we've been busy; really, we've been recovering from the excitement of the holidays.
The weather has been pretty bad. Since the first of the year, we've had multiple snow storms. I went out one morning to find the Charger surrounded in an ice castle and sitting on a former pond. Armed with my trusty windshield scraper, I futilely chipped at the boulders in front of the tires and drew the glances of several onlookers. With the help of three nice fellows, we rocked, pushed and loosened the car enough to get it into the relatively clear ruts in the middle of the street. Embarrassed and wary this would happen again, I purchased a 50lb bag of ice melt and a steel snow shovel. The car has yet to even pretend to get stuck.
This week, the weather warmed into the 20's. I called Will one day at work and sang "Heat Wave" to him. After -30 windchills, I felt like I could ditch my parka, long johns, first pair of gloves, second pair of gloves, long socks, tall boots, hooded sweatshirt, long sleeve t-shirt...well, you get the idea.
Last weekend, we double dated with the Beinlich's. We met for sushi at a BYOB and went to Kingston Mines to listen to blues. It was nice to explore new places and go out with good friends. We really enjoyed the environment at the club and loved Joanna Connor.
In the down time, I've been trying to keep up with the mud puddles tracked through the house. Also, I finally ordered the remainder of our wedding photos and began scrap booking our honeymoon. Since its no fun to be out and about, I've committed myself to the winter mission of finishing projects started during my fits of A.D.D. during the summer. So far, so good.
Will and I are excited to host Sarah, Jake and Evie this weekend. Jake has never been to our apartment and Will has yet to meet his niece. I'm eager to see how much she has grown and changed. Sarah and I have plans to see "Jersey Boys" on Saturday in honor of her birthday at the end of the month.
Next month: cross stitch my heart out. Exciting, no?
