Man, it's so cold and gloomy outside--it's been really rough getting up and motivated for work these last few days! Aaron's getting back in the school routine once again, which for him also means taking a temporary break from sci-fi books... at least until spring break. Despite having an obscene amount of winter lethargy, we've made some decent strides since Christmastime...
Ah, a bright blue sky during a wintery day on campus! Can't wait to see that again soon!!!
-Re-organized our huge closets. Though our apartment is tiny, there is certainly no lack of storage. Unfortunately, throwing miscellaneous items in there when we moved in was all too easy, but we have a great system now. Thanks, pretty clearance baskets from Target!
-We officially settled in a church! I know I have said this in the past about another church, but that one didn't work out as well as we had hoped, mostly due to the distance. We starting going to the Evangelical Free Church of Libertyville two weeks ago after a lot of discussion and prayer. So far, so good.
-Finally, Aaron and I have health insurance. Hoorah! This was an item that had me nervous for a while--Aaron hadn't been insured since he graduated college, and my individual plan was pretty...cheap. We finally enrolled in Trinity's student health plan, which means we really have no excuse to avoid going to get our check-ups.
On a completely different note, last night we watched Late Show w/ David Letterman and Late Night w/ Jimmy Fallon, and they both had their respective "animal guys" on, which stirred up in me the desire to go to the zoo, buy a hedgehog, or become a zoologist, as it usually does. I mean, look at this thing!
It's called a bearcat. No, really, it is. Jack Hanna brought it onto Letterman's show and told Dave that bearcats walk around cobras quickly in order to make the snakes dizzy before the bearcat attacks the snake. So cool! To me, anyway. Consider this your animal trivia fix for the winter...
Off to eat a midday snack. BONUS.
