• Remember That 7-Eleven?

  When Joe and I were snowed in our hotel after our wedding and we were finally sick of being in the hotel and having pizza delivered for days on end, we decided to bundle up and walk through the winter wonderland to the closest open establishment we could find. Almost 2 miles (yes uphill) in the biting cold we found a gas station and got hot chocolate there before walking all the way back.

  So on the night of our 5th Anniversary we revisited that same gas station and took a (much shorter) walk with our drinks!  It was cold, but not nearly as cold as it was during the ice storm!  We had fun remembering.

  Our cute countdown calendar:

  Bundled up and being romantic in our own weird way:

  

  My parents got us a new Ninja blender. So we’d have many more anniversaries together!  We’ve been on a smoothie/health kick lately and this blender has been a big motivator! We used our new blender to make fresh grapefruit-coconut-lime juice to toast with. I even used fancy star shaped ice cubes!

  

  We ended the night watching movies with a giant bowl of popcorn and a pile of blankets and pillows on the living room floor.
