ricks and i are both right in the midst of finals. however, mine are drawing to a close and ricks have only just begun. i will mostly be done with all of my work come wednesday with only a few last bits to wrap up before i am actually done and ricks will take his first final wednesday and the remaining on the following wednesday and thursday and then a take home final that he just has to finish before the 21st. friday we will be flying to utah for a glorious 3 week break. we are so entirely thrilled to go to utah and spend every day with family! we have lots and lots of fun fun plans including squishing 3 really cute triplets, seeing cyndi and jed after 2 long years of living a country apart, celebrating our 2 year wedding anniversary, and spending time with all of our other family and friends that we miss every second that we are in davis.
we are both really happy here, though. i have been volunteering at the library helping with all sorts of odds and ends which has been a ton of fun. we have been cooking up a storm as well. we have been obsessing over homemade pretzels, homemade fries, and cookies and mousses of every variety. we also have been on a trader joes sweet binge for the last year and a half, but the holidays take it to a whole new level with the limited release of their peppermint joe joes and chocolate covered peppermint joe joes. we have been enjoying the new whole foods that opened up a whole 2 minute walk away. we havent purchase much there (expensive!!) but we sure have enjoyed 2 or 3 day nights perusing their amazing ingredient selection.
ricks and i resumed our netflix account and have become SNL junkies. we are both in love with bill hader. oh, and we recently redecorated and switched out our yellowstone by moran for a more graphic triptych of charley harper national park posters. we even made the frames that are holding them up! DIY champs! well, we would be if the frames didnt suck so much. the good movie drought abated when argo came out. we about died watching it, it was so good. ben affleck is such a good director. skyfall was fun. and we are really looking forward to seeing lincoln, djano unchained, and zero dark thirty. can you guess what our anniversary plans are going to be?
