This week was definitely a trying week. Along with the typical overload at work, the weather merely added to the stress. I only love the snow when I am in the comfort of my home looking out the window. Jonathan loves it any time. Not much stresses him out, not even the icy roads. One morning this week, the drive in to work was crazy. I think my hands were sore from having such a death grip on the wheel. I breathed a big sigh of relief when I finally made it. The ride home was a different story though. It was perfectly clear and the sun was shinning beautifully on to the snow. When I got home, I ran to get the camera. Above is a picture of the sun going down while still shinning on the snow.
Since Jonathan is getting home before me right now, I came home on Friday to find him cooking dinner. He has cooked breakfast a few times already, but this was the first time for him to be cooking dinner for me. I came home to him cooking our favorite quick meal of smoked sausage and mashed potatoes. This is a picture of him beating up on some potatoes. After my stressful week, this was just what the doctor ordered. I jumped into the shower to destress and had a hot meal ready by the time I was done.
Our weekends have been pretty slow lately. Just not much going on these days. I'm pretty content right now with a good book on a cold day. But today we did get our taxes done. We ended up having to take them to someone this year. With all of the new changes in 2007, there was no way we could have done it on our own. We managed to come up with enough deductions this year to give us a decent refund. I think this will help with planning our vacation this summer.
I think our schedule should be picking up in about a month or so. Hopefully then I will have more exciting things to write about.
