Wouldn't it be loverly?

• It snowed on Christmas: Bjørn and I had a bit of white for our first christmas together. And it's been snowing everyday since.
  
• has anyone noticed that "x-mas" is fading out? Jeff noted that at dinner last night. 
  
• I hate the movie "I am Legend" but i think that's mostly 'cuz my hand was sore afterwards from squeezing Bjørn's hand so hard for 2 hours. 
• When Bjørn and I went out with Jeff and Whitney and Dad and Jeanette last night for dinner and a movie, we realized that couple-wise we felt a little backwards: Jeff and Whit are the old farts, Bjørn and I the newlyweds, and Dad and Jeanette, the young & the foolish (a.k.a. engaged)
• I don't think I've heard "Frosty the Snowman" the entire X-mas season: maybe it as well is fading out of pop culture x-mas
• Bjørn & I finally bought a standing lamp for our dark living room: but we did buy it half price. Jill called us "freaking bargain shoppers" and I don't know why I actually felt embarrassed. Apparently, I am slowly becoming Dutch, but not enough yet to be proud of it! haha.
• Borders bookstore, the social hangout of Corvallis, has now changed the status for when you look up a book or cd from "in store" to "probably in store." Bjørn and I decided that status was useless. I could've already guessed that the cd I wanted was "probably" there. The whole reason I went to look it up, was to see if they did actually carry it. I wonder what situation brought upon the need to add the "probably"? Perhaps an angry customer that started yelling because the book that said it was "in store" was not on the shelf? Interesting.
• Jeff & Whitney gave Bjørn a sign for our house that says: A good marriage is like ?... It just keeps getting better and better.
• The OSU beavers play at 5.30pm tomorrow, and thus Bjørn and I must make it to Southworth to start round 2 of x-mas by 5.30pm (at the latest!) 

for those who have been asking [Bjørn's family] here is my Christmas list. And I'm doing it in true Bjørn style with links and everything ;)

I guess this is the result of working at an elementary school all day with primary kids, and having a book fair at the school! 

• It has snowed 2 weekends in a row in Lynden (and school hasn't been cancelled once!)
• I have finally been on the Chuckanut Dr. (Bjørn took me as part of saturday date night)
• Last night, Bjørn and I went to Bethel Christian Reformed Church for their advent service. This is the church that Bjørn's grandma has attended for years. She was quite excited to see us there
  
• Bjørn's grandma calls me Jennifer: I think when I am a grandma I'm going to call everyone by their full names and say "that's lovely darling" like the grandma from Happy Gilmore--anyone remember her?
• Bjørn and I are planning on going to Bethel every Sunday night during Advent.
• We went over to Doug and Pam's (Bjørn's uncle & aunt) for coffee afterwards
• Bjørn and I discovered after working out at Homestead at 10'oclock last night that the entire city of Lynden is dead after 10. As Bjørn said, "We OWN this city at night."
• Bjørn-of all people!- dropped his iPod while running on the treadmill, and reacted by telling me that I was not allowed to use my iPod on the treadmill! (because if he can drop it, then I FOR SURE will drop it! I love my husband ;))
• I think the staff was laughing at us while we ran side by side on our treadmills both wearing headphones and not talking to each other. 
• why am i ALWAYS cold?
