SNo-m-g

As I'm writing this, I think we have about 12 inches of snow and it's still coming down.  Thank God we still have power!

It's definitely nasty snow too.  It's blowing everywhere and poor Zoe can't even get a foot outside of our front door.  I think it's about 17 degrees outside, and it's still coming down so we can't even go outside to play!

This is what we see when we look off of our balcony.  This isn't an accurate picture of what it really looks like outside...

Thank you apartment complex for attempting to clear the sidewalks & parking lots :)

On another note, work is still going really well even though I'm working a lot.  I had off on Friday but worked about 5 hours, and had off Monday but worked about 5 hours again.   I officially started at my store on Sunday, and I love my team!  There's A LOT to get done, so I have to remind myself Rome wasn't built in a day....

Even though I'm working a lot, my work hours are still better than my last two jobs.  In DC, I was pretty much gone for work from 6:30am to 6:30pm.  In Richmond, I was working crazy hours with Target and working long nights and early, early mornings.  Our T-Mobile store is open 10-8 Mon-Sat and 11-6 on Sunday, so the longest I can work each day is technically 10 hours :)  No late nights, and no super early mornings!

Yesterday (Monday, January 31st) was our 6 month wedding anniversary!  Can you believe we've been married 6 months already?? I really do feel like it was yesterday even though we've been through so much since we got married.  We moved 800 miles away from "home" (East Coast) and started 2 new jobs.

Since we were in a tighter financial spot when I was searching for a job, we didn't give Christmas gifts to eachother.  I think we mutually figured we would do something for eachother for Christmas/6 Mo Ann/Valentine's Day without ever really discussing it.

I made ribeye's for dinner and it was deeeeelicious:

I bought Ryan a Panasonic electric shaver since he's been looking for one for forever and it's something he would never actually buy for himself.  He likes it so far!

Ryan got me another piece of jewelry!  He got me a black onyx Tiffany's bracelet that's so cute!  It has a small Tiffany's heart on it, and it fits my wrist perfectly.  I should get a small jewelry box just for all of the jewelry he buys for me :) I'm a lucky lady!

Happy 6 months, Ryan <3
