a wintry mix

snow, 7 month anniversary, snow, v-day, snow, will's b'day . . . you get the picture. there has been a lot of snow in this city. more snow than i've ever experienced anyways. and i am a fan. while everyone else complains, i am at peace, in our apartment, off work :), and drinking coffee while watching one tree hill marathons. does life get any better? i think not. the only downside to these stretches of days inside is that my hands get bored. so, i cook alot. and then eat alot. makes for a not so happy girl :( thank goodness for will, who tells me i am beautiful after eating an entire box of triscuits in a day. that is love. and so is the night following. let's just say no person should eat that much fiber in 24 hours.

i don't know that we officially celebrated our 7 month anniversary, as we have done with all of the others. we did acknowledge it, but didn't make plans to go out for it this time. i fixed a really nice dinner, and we used the china, and then we hung out watching a movie and eating ice cream for the rest of the night. valentine's day was another story. this being our first married, and our first in the same city, we had fun with it. we went and saw a movie, had dinner, and then finished the night with donuts :) will bought me a desk, as motivation to get me working on my book, and we put it together in our office/guest room the next day. now we have desks side by side!

will's 24th birthday is this thursday, but we are celebrating over the weekend since we are both working. i'm working on a cake for him to take into work thursday. he swears he doesn't like cake, but i am determined to make one he will like. i'll let everyone know how it goes. as of now, i'm making a multi-layer, strawberry filled, cream cheese frosted yellow cake. crossing my fingers that he will enjoy it!

i'm a the end of my physical therapy, and what a blessing to be finished as of tomorrow. my weekend job at bridal wearhouse ends in april, and i am really looking forward to having some time to sleep, clean, and hang out with will again. he is in full swing back at school and work, and i am so proud of him. i wish i had a good fight to share with you, but honestly we really don't. mostly because he makes me laugh and i can't stay upset about anything for long. it is so frustrating when you are trying to be mad, and can't. he truly is my joy!

pray for us. the next couple months will seem long without any visits home to see family or friends. we love and miss you all! xo -sarah laughren
