Timberwolves

A few weeks ago we got tickets to go see the Minnesota Timberwolves play the Chicago Bulls. It was really fun. It ended up being college night so it was very busy and a little chaotic. The timberwolves lost unfortunately but it was a fun game to watch.

Gabe's birthday was January 6th. We celebrated with our friends Adam and Rebecca at Outback steakhouse then came back to our house for games and more dessert.

Happy Birthday my hubby! You make life so much sweeter!

Winter

(Pretty planter on Nicollet mall via phone)

I realized today that Gabe and I are slowly adapting to the Minnesotan winter.

Here are two examples....

This morning at 7am I was about to leave work-

Me: Shannon is it freezing outside?

Shannon: No it's really nice, like 35 degrees.

Me: Oh awesome, that's not bad at all.

Gabe got home later this afternoon and we had this conversation-

Gabe: It was so beautiful outside today.

Me: oh yeah, that's great!

Gabe: Yeah I had the windows down in my car.

Me: Geez, must have been amazing, what was the temp?

Gabe: 40 degrees.

For real.

6 years!

We had an amazing 6th anniversary. We ate at a restaurant called Seven, a steakhouse. It was quite chilly outside but we were able to sit by a beautiful fireplace. It was a great spot! So romantic! Fun times in our "minne" city!

Six years goes by so fast. I can't believe all the places we've lived and all the things we've seen and done. On January 8 we had the 12th anniversary of our first date! Twelfth!!! It is unbelievable. I love him so much and I've always believed our love truly grows. We're happier and happier, really! Love you baby! Here's to many, many more!

Ringing in 2012

On New Year's Eve we stayed in. So exciting, I know. We ended up having a pretty long day and woke up from a nap at like 6:30. We were groggy and felt like snuggling and watching the snow fall. That's right! SNOW! (Guess what it melted again, but at least we enjoyed a little bit for a time.) Here's a fuzzy video of the snow falling.

So after celebrating at 11 central time, 12 eastern we headed out to play in the snow. Kind of awkward "playing in the snow" downtown. We were actually in a parking lot. :)
