It's Almost Spring

I can't believe how long this winter has seemed. Not only have we gotten loads of snow, we have also had way too many freezing cold days. Even though I am so excited for the warm weather, I couldn't live without seasons. And I guess I really do like having enough water in the summer to shower, water the lawn, and of course to drink. With that said, I guess I can deal with winter for a little longer.
But won't it be nice to be able to go outside without having to put 10 layers on? It will be especially nice to go running in the sun so I can get a tan! Soon enough we will all be enjoying the sun.

However, what I am most excited about is to be able to actually see my husband for longer than 5 minutes in a day. School and work has kept us both so busy, we seriously barely have any time to say hi. I know everyone else feels that way too. Life, in general, is just too busy. How do we slow it down?

The day of Love!!!

Valentine's is such a fun day. I know Morgan and I have only had 2 Valentine's Days together, but I still love this time of year.

This year, Morgan was as sweat as always but he really went the extra mile with a beautiful rose, a beautiful new watch, dinner at a local Thai resturant, and a very clean house. I am just amazed at how much he already does and yet he still finds time to fit those "extras" in his schedule, just for me.

We had had reservations at a different resturant, but decided at the last minute to go to this Thai place (Kamin). Luckily the resturant had left some tables open for walk-ins, so we were still able to get in. The food was amazing. We had these chicken appetizers that were grilled with seperate dishes of some dipping sauces. One sauce was this amazing peanut sauce and the other a very sweet cucumber sauce. Then as our main dish, we shared a yellow curry dish over brown rice. I was very impressed.

The following day, Friday, our married student stake did a big Valentine's dance, with games, dinner, and prizes. This year, we definitely got our Valentine's Day activities worth. But the really important thing, is that 1 1/2 years after being married, we still feel like newlyweds (I guess we still are kind of are newlyweds in the eyes of all you veterans in the marriage world, oh well).

So another successful Valentine's Day has passed and now we have another year to look forward to the next one. :)
