It's hard to believe that I haven't written in so long and so much happened. I am so happily married that I can't really describe the complete joy of every day other then to say that I stay in such a state of peace that I wish everyone in the world could know the same. There is nothing better then being married to your best friend and having a new opportunity to explore the world with eager anticipation each and every morning, hand in hand.
Rather than try to play catch up I am recommitting to my blog starting as of last night. Micah had mentioned he would like to try Scandinavian food. We have been having so much fun trying all kinds of international foods. Cooking together is one of the most relaxing parts of the day. He has been working so hard though that last night I flew solo on the prep. Haleigh was here so I printed off some cool Scandinavian prints in black and white and Trenton and Haleigh colored them to use for place mats. I fixed roast pork in a red currant sauce, sugared potatoes, cucumber salad and an apple and lindonberry bread pudding. Honestly, it was all delicious. We also did the research to see what we could learn about their culture. Trenton thinks they have it figured out having cookies for breakfast. Haleigh thought the fact they have the largest mall in Europe was worth a trip there in the near future. I thought it was interesting that on Easter they do Halloween. Micah thought the mustard sauce for dipping should be steadily available in our own refrigerator. It was a lot of fun. We then had an all out Nerf War and then played Toss Up until bedtime. I wish Christmas break were so much longer. We have had the best time!
