Habits (Thanks to All Who Support Us)

Being "young and in love" (Josh's parents little term for "crazy and a bit broke" I think) has its perks, but sometimes it's a little odd. We end up with lots of leftovers (not necessarily our own) in our fridge. We harass our upstairs neighbors for cooking supplies. We spend a lot of time at the library (I am putting a hold on this book). We don't wash our cars (and frequent the particular gas stations most likely to wash our windows). We drink a lot of tea (it comes in bulk at WinCo!). We spend a lot of time on the "free" section of Craig's list wishing they weren't such a long drive away or that we had a big enough house for whatever is free on any given day.
We have plenty of entertainment, though I have one complaint: not enough snowboarding. With 95 inches of snow at Timberline, snow in town and a Jeep, it's pretty tragic. At least we do have snow in town this year so we can at least see a little of it. Oh, and on the subject of snow - I'm proud to announce that Sister Maria did fine driving to church today in the inch or so of snow that we had on our street! Granted, the rest of the roads were just wet, but I'm pleased that her first experience with snow (besides being utterly buried in it) went well.

Good pictures!! How happy you look. And your (Allie's) hair looks great.

I don't wash Ruby often enough either.

Did you say before that you were reading "Read the Bible for a Change"? How was is?
