A "Crown Jewel" of a meal...

A week after returning from our reception and Thanksgiving in Albuquerque, Robyn and I decided to christen our fine china (Mikasa Crown Jewel Platinum. Only $99.99 a place setting, if you're looking for a gift we might enjoy...). Since we forgot to go shopping before Sunday, we rummaged through the cupboards for some fine fixin's of a meal. Here is what we came up with...


As you can see, the soft candlelight and warm Christmas decorations coupled with our fine china and tasty food created just the right touch for an elegant evening at home. Spiced cider, green salad, and beef with vegetable soup. Mmm mmm good. After finishing our scrumptious meal, the romantic atmosphere was toned down a bit as we turned back to the rest of our apartment...


Someday we'll get moved in. Someday...

Best Daily Universe Ever!

So today I got to school a bit sleepy. Wedding plans make for short sleeping. But as soon as I grabbed a copy of the Daily Universe Wham! I woke up. This was the picture sprawled across the front page of the newspaper. I carried the paper with me the rest of the day, looking for excuses to share it with anyone. Just 4 and a half days left! I am the luckiest.
