10 Things we Absolutely Love Lately:

1. Juice. We recently started buying crystal light [or the Wal-mart brand anyways] because it's pretty inexpensive, Rebecca and Jon buy it [and we love it every time we're over] and it's only 5 calories [not really a reason but.. we'll throw it in there]. We just bought it the other day and we've already made 4 batches of it! A little obsessive, we know.

2. Our new BOOKSHELF!! We love love love it, (even though I did manage to pinch my stomach in the process of putting it together)! I made funny homemade-looking hearts strung together to put across it for the Valentine's season and it's adorned with pictures, books, african figurines, paintings, and a wolf dressed as a sheep that sings "Hungry Like the Wolf" (thanks mom!).

3. Snow Shoeing! We went up to Kelly Canyon on Saturday with the snowshoes Marnie and Stephan so graciously gave us over Christmas and tested them out. To be honest, I hated it at first. We trekked up this fairly large, snow covered mountain, and me being not the most coordinated or athletic person in the world fell quite a few times but once I got the hang of it, it was really fun. We stopped a ways up and ate lunch in the snow and found a stream also, we even skied/sledded down some of the hills (which was definitely my favorite part). So I think we'll be doing it again soon, Thanks Lovstedt Family!

4. Being off track. I haven't found a job yet and Scott works during the days at Western Watts, a call center in Rexburg, where I will soon be joining him. My fondest memories of us as a couple have been in the winter when we're both off-track. Last winter when we were dating, I was taking one class and he was just hanging out trying to find a job so we hung out literally all day and it was so fun! Only this time we're married and get to hang out in our own apartment and not have roommates around all the time bothering us. It's basically like we're playing house and doesn't really feel like we're married.

5. hulu.com. We are almost literally obsessed. Our favorite shows right now that we watch weekly are: Chuck (which, we're feeling less obsessed with lately), The Bachelor (I KNOW! But it's so entertaining and we do NOT like Vienna for Jake), and The Biggest Loser (We talk about getting fat just so we can be on the show and work out with Bob and Jillian).

6. Working Out. Yes,it's true. We go to the Hart Building and workout a couple times a week now, as part of our New Year's Resolutions. Scott is a CHAMPION. He runs two miles in the time it takes me to run one. We're starting to enjoy working out (at least trying to enjoy it on my part) and are trying to keep the fire going. We also do a 7-minute abs routine about everyday that we found on YouTube and you should all try it, my abs are burning afterward!

7. Chicken Milano Movie Night. As our new family is being put together, we've decided that Chicken Milano is definitely on our monthly dinner rotation. We love it so much we've named a night after it and dawned it as a celebration. We've celebrated the last two weeks. Boy do we love that bow tie pasta.

8. Each other. This may be one of the more obvious ones but must be included. We love waking up next to each other in our freezing cold room and cuddling to keep warm, cooking dinner together and eating it over candlelight, making weekly trips to D.I. to find treasures to adorn our walls and tables, laying in bed till the wee hours of the morning talking and laughing, and just being together. We love being married and each other!

9. Skyping. Family or friends, come one come all! We love skyping and seeing all your beautiful faces!

10. Traveling. The past month has been nutters with traveling! The week before Christmas we drove from Idaho to Washington with Rebecca and Jon and visited the Keller and Allsop grandparents which was really fun and they are just some of the sweetest people you'll ever meet. It was so fun to be able to get to know them. Christmas Eve-Eve we drove back down to Utah and stayed there a little over a week and then came back up to Idaho. A couple weeks later, we went to Utah again for Scott's sister, Kathryn's, mission homecoming which was so fun and she did such a wonderful job speaking. And lastly, we'll be taking the train (we're so excited!) to Nebraska in late February to see my parents and do doctors check-ups. I personally can't wait! It's been a while since I've been home/seen my parents so I'm just ecstatic!

But, that's enough for now.
