Lazy Sunday

rich got me a camera for christmas. a canon rebel t3i.  basically i now have an amazing camera, but i have no skillllls.  i hope to eventually be fourteen percent as cool as rich's sister rach--she is an amazing photographer.
"why are you taking a pic of me making lunch?"

"say ahhhhhhh"

one consequence (good+bad) of being married to a dental student is having bi-monthly, sometimes weekly, dental exams in the evening. convenient? yes....but seriously kinda funny! i hope rich isn't embarrassed by me sharing this, but i think it is hilarious--especially because i am not a huge fan of going to the dentist, so having my dentist prey on me in my home is a little unnerving.....if he wasn't such a hottie i would probably move out. ;)

janelle: "i just brushed and flossed. my teeth are great" rich: "let me just check out how that filling is holding up"
"...we done yet?!"
...it never goes fast because i laugh too much. hopefully someday i'll get used to evening dental exams...

Seattle Trip

for christmas, rich and i gave each other a ski trip/visit to washington. i have never been to the northwest, and rich has always loved it there and wanted to go back, so during christmas break--we flew to seattle. it was an awesome trip. i absolutely am in love with washington. what an amazing state! the city, the mountains, the ocean, the food, culture--basically everything was incredible. we will definitely be going back!

Happy Happy Holidays!

i worked christmas eve, but rich and i wanted to be with family, so after i got off, we immediately left for minnesota.  we got in a little after 1:00pm.  while driving so late on christmas eve wasn't our first preference, i will admit that traffic was a breeze.  i think we saw more deer than cars!  christmas went by pretty fast--but it was fabulous. my dad and mom surprised everyone by buying snowmobiles (something we have wanted for forever!), so we spent a lot of the day on those. there was also delicious food. rich and i gave each other a seattle ski trip present--best idea ever.  for new years, we went up to the twin cities and celebrated with our crazy-fun--awesome-friends-basically-family, the woodwards. i wish it was a holiday every day.

merry christmas lover!
