It is officially winter and in the single digits in Chicago! I can't believe that the year is almost coming to close and that Christmas is here. Although I am totally a summer girl..I have a few loves about winter from my uggs, peppermint everything, and christmas decorations!!
Last week my hubs spent the entire week at the office working day and night..while I enjoyed some me time, cooking, watching my shows, and getting organized for our company. If you noticed I truly do say cooking, so if you really know me that should bring a big shock to you -- But I am truly trying to become more domestic in the kitchen! I made my own white chicken chili, italian beef, and mexican of course! It is just nice to know that while I have failed so many times trying to cook anything, I made three successful meals that my hubs actually enjoyed! Also, this past weekend one of my very best friends came to visit with her boyfriend! It was great to finally show her my new place and the new life I live outside of college. We had a great time shopping, going out to eat, partying, and lounging around. It was the first time I'd seen her since July and can't wait to see her in January for our annual ski trip!
This week we are relaxing, catching up on sleep, and preparing for our first Christmas as a married couple. It is hard to believe that even after 5 years this Christmas feels so much more special than any we have had before. From our time with our families to our chance to decorate our own Christmas tree together, bake cookies, and just enjoy Chicago in the winter is just breathtaking. We are so excited to have each other to lean on and love this holiday season in addition to our supportive families!
Last, but not least..I have been having a hard time with the externship experience lately and if it weren't for the chance to come home to my husband or have him come home to listen to me even at 3 am, I don't know where I'd be. He always comes to me, listens to me with open arms and an open heart. It is adversity that brings people closer to together and truly reminds me how blessed and fortunate that I am right now to call him my own, lean on him in this hard time for me and my career.
I hope everyone enjoys there week, makes it through the first snowfall safely, and enjoys their first round of family Christmas celebrations like we will!
