Forever Young

The snow is falling around us in Chicago, feels like a thin blanket, and the wet flakes like chipped glass from the floor boards of the clouds. We sit and are buried and in that it is peaceful.
Started back to work today. The dorms are open but hardly any students are back, it is just the international students are arriving for a flash orientation to Chicago and North Park. 
So we opened the dorms and must have desk attendants... there are a few around so it works, everyone has long hours but its cool the extra cash is always nice. 
Mike is working too. 
It has been so nice, the last couple days Mike and I have gotten up early to do devotionals together and not try and rush through our day but really enjoy it. 
Mike's days are especially long, most of the time they vary between starting at 10:30 and 12:00 and vary between ending at: 10ish or 8:45 to 9. So when he gets home he is understandably exhausted so our time to really chat is tainted by yawns from both of us. So by starting the day a little bit earlier it is great to connect before work, it also allows us to pray and talk about the reading. We both really enjoy it!
Had my friend Eleanor over last night for dinner, did a little fettucine alfredo with salad and such, it was really great, we havent really gotten to connect since before the wedding.
And i really wanted to show her the apartment too! A few more changes happening in there so that is really nice, kind of getting more and more cozy. Which is great!!
And Mike likes it so that makes it even better.
Anyway just killing time here at work so i guess i should go.
Hope 2009 is as great as 2008 was for mike and i!
