ChillllllY January :).

Hello January 2011 :).  It is a cold January in Utah-it literally gets down to the negatives or in the single digits-early morning and will maybe warm up to mid-upper teens midday.  Every morning this past week-as I walk my merry way out our apt to work-I take a breath of fresh Rocky Mountain air and my nose burns intensely.  I now take breaths in and out of my mouth instead of my nose :).


Fun Fact 1: Seth and I got an electric blanket for Christmas from my parents.  I will tell you right now it is the death to us.  Seth and I aren't napping people (or at least we haven't been since we've been married).  We have both taken a nap daily since we have gotten this electric blanket.  We plug it in-turn the controller up to about 8-HI-we both get pretty giddy/excited-jump under it-eventually fall asleep and nap for a bit.  So-this electric blanket is wonderful but again will be the death to us.


Fun Fact 2:  We are having visitors!!  Seth and I are excited to have some of our first visitors coming in February.  Our recent conversations have been fun because we are trying to plan sightseeing-entertainment-meals-snacks-down time-sleeping arrangements-people meeting-etc... All without going overboard and running our guest ragged.  My cousin Olivia and Brian are coming the first full week in February and Seth's sister Emily and her husband Trevor are coming the third weekend in February.  You guys will love the Rockies :)!


Fun Fact 3:  Married Pet Peeves :)--So I think this just will be fun even though I'm displaying some of our personal lives.  Seth and I both do small things to annoy the other (not on purpose of course) but we've learned to just make it a joke-and make it fun instead of annoying.  I'm sure you older more experienced married couples already know this trick :).  
--I do not like closet doors open-I feel that closets have doors to hide out the junk/nonsense-and they should always be closed so others don't have to see the nonsense.  Even at work I have to go through every residents room and shut their closet doors.  So-Seth NEVER shuts his closet door after use.  He has come up with an 'elf' that must come into our home and open the closet door (only on his side of course to try and frame him) as well as open only his dresser drawers :).  So this little elf comes daily to visit us.
--Toothbrushing-Seth refuses to share a hand towel with me!  He says I make it dirty because I don't wipe my mouth with water when I'm finished-I just wipe it on the towel (which that is what it is for)-but he is pretty adamant about this.  I also wipe my toothbrush on the towel so it will be dry for the next usage-don't judge me.
Thats about all our pet peeves with each other :)!  Just kidding-we have a few more but these are our top daily ones-and I won't continue with more.


With it being so nippy around here lately-I've enjoyed being inside-and most of you guys know Seth is an outside/nature sort of guy.  He likes to get out and walk and get fresh air (which I like at times but can do without when its this cold).  Anyway the poor boy had been cooped up for a few days and wanted to go for a walk-so I broke down and agreed-wrapped up in my longjohns-new ski pants-and several layers of clothes and we trugged out for a walk oncampus.




We live in such a beautiful place!  It is always nice to have a little motivation to get out and enjoy where we are :).  We are looking forward to having our guests in February to experience what Seth and I get to see daily!


Current items: 
I'm currently reading the Zion Covenant series by the Thoene couple-and going to start reading 'The Hunger Games' series which is a popular series out here.  I never heard of it until we came here-I'll keep you updated with that :).  
Seth and I are looking forward to having Meatball Soup with our tortillas several nights this week :). Yummmmmmmm.
We are going to be Church School teachers for children at our church-WOW-watch out kids-we will discipline :).
