better.

It is the morning after. I feel relieved. Nathan and I didn't have internet last night, so we patiently awaited this morning. I walked down to vero, ordered my soy chai, and then logged onto facebook. My feed opened with an instagram from my sister. "Day after speech.." was the title, or something like that. You could barely tell that it was Obama's face in the pixelated screen. I logged onto cnn. He had won.
I felt peace. I do not wish to endorse my political views on this blog, but I do wish that people would be more kind when it comes to just regaining a president. That is all I have to say about that.
Today is a navy blue saltwater sandals + grey socks kind of day. Shopping for kitchen towels since I only have one. I need more than one. Seriously. I think I'll order some from Ikea.
I love my husband.
I love this day.

It is dreary outside. Grey skies and stuff like that. I've been thinking about holly and christmas songs though, so it isn't so bad. I've been reading books like crazy. I feel like I'm ten again and I love to read...marriage does fun things to you. The ground outside our little home it covered in yellow and orange. I am in love with it. Fall is so gorgeous. I always have to ask myself why this isn't my favourite season. Maybe it is. My hair is still wet from the shower I took this morning. My neck is still cold.
I am doing laundry at my in-laws. Very thankful for this, but looking forward to having my own washer and dryer. Those things come with age I guess. Can't have everything at first, I am ok with this.
Part of me wants a set of orange ones. Just sayin'.
Happiest joy going out to lovely Kirsten and her beloved Sam. They get married in two days. I am so excited about this. I just love marriage. It is so exciting. Honestly. A lot of times we tend to think that our lives are going great and we don't need anyone to share it with, but in my experience, having someone to share life with makes it all the more better. Life is a mundane chore without the people you love. God made it that way I think, so we can love one another is the deepest way possible.
More on marriage later. I'm still enjoying it too much to write about it. I am certain though, I have the best husband of them all.
I need to do some grocery shopping now, and finish the laundry.
Measuring joy would be too hard to do at this moment.
Much love..

icy(morning after the debate)

This morning my husband has his first physics midterm. I just sent him out the door, and told him not to get eaten by the garbage truck. It is cold this morning. My toes are suffering in fact, and I could see my breath as I watched Nat walk down our alley. My babes is so smart. I should have put a hat on his head.
I was a good wife and made him breakfast. Blueberry smoothies and some hot cereal. We purchased a $12.00 blender at Wal-mart a few days ago, and I have been using it every day since. I look all over the fridge and freezer to see what I can blend up. I made some apple/carrot/celery juice yesterday morning. It was impressive. I even used a sieve. My little blender is my friend.
Last night husband and I watched the debate. Neither of us knows what the heck is going on, and we aren't very political, so I don't have a lot to say about it. I do like watching the debates though. It is a curious thing how much bashing each other is going on. So many digs. I thought the comment about women in binders was pretty funny though.
This cold morning calls for the heater to be run. I dread running the heater. I always think it is going to make our electric bill shoot out the roof. So I've been trying to wrap myself in comforters and warm blankets instead. I would like to get a really fuzzy warm throw. That would be nice. I also need to buy some nails for the wall, but that doesn't really have anything to do with throws. This morning calls for the heater to be run.
Well, I am going to drink some hot water now, and read some Ecclesiastes.
Much love to you all..
