Same ol, same ol

Life is pretty much business as usual for Ryan and I. Although we do manage do throw some fun in there as well. Things at work have been really busy for me lately. I've been working on a variety of tasks which keeps it interesting. Before working for AvalonBay I never thought I would have a job that I actually liked. Its quite refreshing to know that it is actually possible to like your work.

Ryan has his final exams coming up next week, but he told me last night that he is having a hard time getting stressed about it. He did so well on the last two sets that he could even fail these ones if he wanted and he would still pass overall (although I don't believe he will be going that route).

Roxy is pretty much the same as always, she sleeps, eats, poops, plays and makes us smile everytime we come home and she goes into excitement overdrive! It is nice to know that someone will always be that elated to see you.

I am having a Christmas party gift exchange tonight for the group of young wives in our ward who get together once a week, so I have been cooking up a storm. I am making Special K bars, Mrs. Sees cookies, Glug ( a Swedish variation on wassle), hummus and pita (although I am not making the hummus from scratch), whole wheat baguette with goat cheese. Sound like a good menu? On top of that I am also the new co-chair of the Medical Families club at GWU. I will be in charge of monthly activities with the wives and every couple of months larger activities for the whole families. I think it will be pretty fun as I always like planning activities and throwing parties.

But the most exciting part of our week is probably that they are showing It's a Wonderful Life at the old theatre in Old Town Alexandria. How incredibly charming! We were so excited when we saw that it was playing there, I've never seen it on the big screen after all. Mom and Kinsey, please proceed to be jealous!

I love you all so much and am so grateful to be blessed with the best family in the world!
