Last Friday we had a few inches of snow, which promptly melted, but my view out the window did look like the above picture for a few hours. We are supposed to be getting a rather hefty load of snow tonight. I'm excited---anything to mix up the dullness that is January. Although, so far we have managed to keep things somewhat interesting around here.
- We got a Costco card from Johnny's Grandparents for Christmas, and, feeling extremely ambitious, we decided to take a duffel bag and backpack and make the trek to Costco via bus last week. The thought of the walk and bus ride home left our minds as soon as we entered that magnificent store, and we bought whatever we felt like. Somehow we stuffed almost everything into the backpack and duffel bag, both of which weighed like 50 pounds (not exaggerating), and Johnny carried both. I carried canned cat food, chips, and bread (which was harder than it sounds, people!). We walked the 4 blocks to the bus stop. Waited half an hour for the bus. Rode the bus. Walked the 4 blocks home. It was mind over matter, and Johnny's whisperings of, "Okay, 3 more blocks . . . 2 more blocks . . ." were all that kept me going. I'm sure we were a sight to see. I have never been so happy to arrive home.
- I managed to catch one of our kitchen towels on fire, and Johnny walked into the kitchen to find me precariously transporting a towel all aflame to the sink.
- I'm rereading the Harry Potter books. When I am too engrossed, Johnny gets my attention by reading aloud over my shoulder in a British accent.
- We've been religiously watching/listening to all the BYU basketball games. This is the best I've ever seen our team (ranked 10 in Coach's Poll right now!), and Jimmer is so fun to watch. It gives us something fun to look forward to a couple nights a week.
Lastly, I will leave you with a picture of Persie, the balancing cat.

That cat is somethin' else.
Haha, I remember when I caught our oven mitt on fire. Seth walked into the kitchen while I was frantically blowing at the flam atop my mittened fingers. Isn't cooking fun?
I loved picturing you guys toting all your Costco booty. Haha!
I, too, am loving BYU basketball.
I've been so excited about BYU basketball too! Go Jimmer! I hope they show more games on TV stations that we can watch. :)
That Costco trip sounds epic! I don't know how you're going to avoid it in the future, though. The only reasonably sized item from there that you could bring home would be toothpaste.
i don't know what i laughed harder about: the image of you carrying all of that from costco to your apartment; the image of you catching your kitchen towel on fire and rushing over to the sink; or the image of you being so engrossed in a hp book that johnny begins reading in a british accent over your shoulder. but i did laugh out loud to each. thank you, my sister.
I LOVE that first picture! I need to stop being lazy and start blogging and taking pictures again. You are inspiring me.
