Calendars, Holidays and School terms among other things indicate that it should be spring. However, I think they're lying. It has snowed much too recently and currently we are in the middle of a rain spell that will only briefly be lifted (for approximately half a day on Saturday) and will last until about a week from now. It makes not having a car and usually relying on public transportation slightly annoying. The plus side is I can read or relax on the bus and zone out until my stop comes or I have to switch buses. However, walking and carrying groceries has been my make up time for not exercising more before that.
On to other news, Chris is finally done with the Junior core of the Accounting Program at BYU. Next on the list is studying for and taking the LSAT to prep for law school applications this coming fall. It's hard keeping up with what exactly he wants to do with the Law stuff at any given time but more than likely, it will involve moving. I am still working at the same place. My English friend and coworker, Denise, is leaving in about a month and I'm totally jealous. Life there has been a constant state of "What?! When did that change?" or so it seems to me most of the time. I can honestly say I've learned a lot at this company.
Our washer FINALLY got fixed after being out of commission (once we got little rivers running away from it a couple times we just stopped) for almost THREE weeks! I'm just lucky Nicole and Thomas are super nice and close and let me use their washer. All in all, our little place is really nice and convenient, plus we have a nice big kitchen.
So after all the other random updates on us, I just got to thinking about how I've got some of the best friends out there. Not to mention that two of them are pregnant at the moment and I am SUPER excited! I feel like life is flying by and that looking at where we are and who we are now is amazing. I wish we all were closer sure, but I hope they know I'm super proud of who we've all become and what we're doing now. Family and friends are some of the best ways to tell how blessed we are. I know I am. Thanks my friends for being who you are and the examples you set, even if I'm not so great at letting you know I think so and am thinking about you. Hope you see this.

KINDLE!!!
With not having a ton of ideas for people for Christmas, I started telling people, and having Chris tell people (specifically his family) that I wouldn't be against starting to get money together for a Kindle since when I travel I usually take 2-3.... or more books with me.
I held on to my self-control for a few days after Chris got home but on Monday I caved. Thanks to his family and my awesome grandparents and such I got enough to cover the cost of a 3G Kindle with a cover for it!!!! We thought it wasn't going to end up making it for whatever reason until next monday.... but it came today and the cover is coming later. Who knows!?
I am super excited!! It's slim and pretty and I can't wait to dig into it. I've spent the last hour prior to this looking at the instructions that come with it and looking online at the Kindle store on Amazon. Not to mention pricing things and just generally getting super excited about the things I can do.
Funny story(ies) - First, as I was leaving work to head home, Chris sent a text saying, "So just so you know there is an Amazon box that I picked up... Just thought you'd like to know." I jumped up and down and got super excited and my supervisor jokingly called over the wall of cubicles that there was way too much excitement over there and I needed to tone it down. Then promptly asked me why I was excited and when I told him, he agreed that was cool and said how they'd gotten his mom one for Christmas. Second, when I plugged it in, it said "Christopher's Kindle" to personalize it and I immediately burst out with, "It is definitely NOT 'Christopher's Kindle'..." Chris just looked at me like I was nuts. Though once I got on Amazon, it was easy enough to fix. So now I've got it charging up and will let you know how I enjoy it. And I know, I'm a total dork, no wait.. we decided at work it was nerd, but I love it!
