We even got some snow - not really getting very much this year, the Tennesseans all loved it :D The wedding day is getting closer...but we're having a blast together. This girl is so awesome! Some of my favorite/ most used possessions: laptop, set of interchangeable knitting needles, and Bible :)  February 10 During lunch I went on a nice brisk hike up a steep hill.
