Six months already!

Many months ago Leigh and I decided that we would separate for Thanksgiving. I would go to my family and she to hers. We were very happy with our decision until we realized that our six month anniversary was November 30th and I booked the return ticket on the 2nd of December. It was cheaper- what can I say? Well, I got teased about it from Leigh and then from her parents. I decided to buy her a ticket to come back on the 30th. After buying the ticket I believe her parents were a bit offended in that I keep stealing their daughter away... Sorry Mom and Dad! Anyways, I picked her up at the airport and had planned to go for a walk on the C&O canal. Well, it was raining... Leigh was up for the walk so we tried and last almost 5 minutes before the cold set in and I think she wished she was back in Florida. Luckily I had made use of our crockpot for the first time and had soup ready when we got home. Ironically enough- she gave me a slowcooker recipe book as my present! I'm not sure if it was a gesture out of love or a subtle hint that I need to cook more often but I am excited to use it and contribute to the domestic affairs of our home (in addition to my dishwashing) .

Leigh's thoughts....
DC, my new home, certainly welcomed me with dreary skies and lots of rain. I am, however, very excited about winter because I now have a wonderful new scarf and necklace that I plan on using a great deal. The soup was wonderful and I am more then willing to try more meals prepared by Chris.....xoxoxo
