Nesting, Cont.

How we already celebrated our two-week anniversary as husband and wife is beyond me. The days seem to be getting shorter and shorter, pushing each other out of the way.  I am growing used to the idea of being a wife but at times, it still blindsides me — how am I married?!  Daniel is, by far, the easiest person to live with and I am so happy I chose to do life with him.

This past weekend, we trekked up north to winterize the camper.  The weather required us to bundle up and it snowed most of Saturday which made for the perfect excuse to stay cozy inside playing endless games of Sequence.  We had the prettiest drive on the way to breakfast that morning; blurs of orange high above a white dusted ground made me smile ear to ear. I bought the cutest pair of up-cycled, locally made wool mittens that kept my fingers toasty and will all winter long.

Daniel had us awake and packing by 5:45AM Sunday morning and by 6:30AM, the camper was closed up and we were on our way to the nearest Starbucks (1-hour, 11-minutes away) for warm drinks and paninis. After our pitstop, we were IKEA bound.  (This has become our monthly ritual.)  He told me he wanted to get there early enough because he knew we would be spending about two hours testing out couches… and right he was.  We slowly paced the showrooms testing out just about every couch we saw until we landed on the comfiest, cutest sectional.  Signed, sealed and delivered Monday night, it sits assembled in our living room making our space just that much cozier.  We really really love it — Daniel even calls it his “dream couch”.

Things we’re going to laugh about one day:

  1. Mom backing into Daniel’s car and crunching the driver’s side door the week of our wedding.
  2. This passed Sunday night, we were both half asleep and rudely awoken by our bedroom window falling off the track.  How?
