School is back in session (as I am sure many of you are fully aware of). On the 18 January, Katie and celebrated our 6-month wedding anniversary! It already feels like I have known Katie all my life; it is getting hard to recall what my single life was like. So on the 18th of January, Katie and I both dressed up and baked key lime pie together! It was incredible! Yes, our lime pie looks more like banana cream pie but do not let its yellow hue beguile you: it had an amazingly refreshing lime flavor. So the gorgeous princess in the icy blue gown is Katie dressed up for our anniversary pie baking. The picture of Pac-Man is our pie with a raisin (I just put the raisin there for the photo).
The picture of the couch is our lovely new home accessory, compliment of Katie's parents. As a Christmas gift, they told us to buy ourselves a sofa so we did. R.C. Willey was having a sale for Martin Luther King weekend so we browsed for about an hour or two, sitting on couch after couch, comparing the soft-index of each one, until we decided upon that one: a nice chocolate brown. It is a great sofa to nap on.
The picture of the snow is for those outside of Utah. Isn't snow such a beautiful thing? I admit that it is no fun driving in snow because you have to scrape the ice off of your car and have the air conditioning blowing so you don't fog up your windows but it is lovely nonetheless.
This will, perhaps, reveal some of my nerdom, but I enjoy preparing for the LSAT. I am excited to take a standardized test. There, I said it. To me, it is just fun to challenge your mind in new and innovative ways and to learn and apply knowledge.
Recently, Katie and I have both been reading from the book she gave me for Christmas: "With Love" by Kaitlin Miller. To be more precise, it is an anthology of most of the e-mail Katie and I sent to one another in our history of knowing one another. So it all the way back to 2005 when Katie and I were only good friends our freshman year together at BYU. The anthology then continues our exchange of e-mails through my mission in Chile, into our brief post-mission experience, on into our dating period, and then on into our engagement. We do not e-mail one another quite so frequently now that we are married but we talk everyday. But nowadays, even if the e-mails just simply say "I love you", it is just as sweet.
