Sick for the weekend #2

Well, I woke up this morning to Mr. McBossy Pants. I guess if I give him an inch he'll take my right arm. He was trying to get me to take MORE Nyquil. Really? I just woke up from a 9-hour slumber. He must like the peace and quiet when I'm out cold. And I HAD to eat breakfast at the table with him instead of on the couch! What?? Power trip? I think when he gets back from church we shall return to the normal ways of Whitney being the boss. Mrs. Whitney Boss has a fair happy-medium we both can handle.

I do, however, want to mention that I had the most delicious French toast for dinner on Friday night, complete with fresh sliced strawberries, whipped cream and powdered sugar. Then, for breakfast Saturday morning, Mr. McBossy Pants made me a beautiful bowl of oatmeal with fresh strawberries and banana slices. So soothing on my sore throat. Mmm mmm gooooood.

My eyelids are getting heavy...I can feel the Nyquil kicking in... adios.

NCAA week

Tuesday night we went to the #1 ranked OSU vs. #12 Purdue game with the Tolmans, Jumps, and Muirs. We blew them out and scored over 70 points... who knows what that means? FREE McDonald's french fries!!

Wednesday #9 BYU played #4 SDSU at home. It was an awesome game and I think BYU ended up winning by 13. Definitely the highlight of my week. I'm so glad it was on CBS College Sports because we actually get that channel.

Unfortunately, the wind was taken out of my sail by their loss yesterday to unranked New Mexico. Ugh. So irritating. I don't really have much more to say about that.

Sick for the weekend

Being sick when you're married to Devon means no chores, no cooking, no nothing. (Does that double negative count?) It means only rest, taking medicine, watching TV, and lying on the couch. I'm kinda starting to like this whole being sick thing. He is really good at babying me...

Three Years!

We celebrated our three-year anniversary on January 12 by going out to eat at Smith and Wollensky. The food was delicious (and expensive)! Over dinner, we talked about highlights from each of the three years we've been married as well as from dating and being engaged. It was a blast to reflect and reminisce. I think we could have gone on and on forever. Let's just say we've been very blessed and have had SO many good times. I am so in love and so grateful we can be together forever!

I get to see this cute face everyday!

Beautiful lights at Easton

And... our first bedding set EVER! It was our anniversary present to each other. We got a steal of a deal. And it was about time, right??

Cleveland New Year

Cleveland was awesome. Our first adventure outside Columbus, Ohio was perfect. We were able to do a little sight-seeing, shopping, eating and hanging out.

Thursday December 30: Trivia night at Melt (delicious gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches)

Friday December 31 (Day): sight-seeing in the city

The Q

Indians stadium

Browns stadium

NASA Science Center

Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame

I love the architecture of the building.

Front shot of the Hall of Fame

I took pictures of many more buildings and bridges, but I have to highlight the sports arenas, naturally.

Friday December 31 (Night): Dinner at Le Petit Triangle

Dinner was fabulously French and surprisingly affordable. Our dessert crepe sent floods of Paris memories splashing through my mind. Glorious.

A drunk guy rode by on a bike shortly after this picture (below) and insisted on taking a picture of our whole party for us. Devon was REALLY hesitant, so the man practically grabbed the camera out of his hand. I thought, "There goes $200 bucks," but he didn't steal it! I thought it was very kind for him to stop and take our picture, but he was a little too wobbly to count on quality. Thank you, drunk man, for not stealing our camera on your get-away bike.

Fantastic tour guides: Zach and Amanda

Zach is one of Devon's good friends from law school.

Christmas Morning: Operation: Presents

After a long night of partying on Christmas Eve, everyone was a little slow getting started...

Whitney in her cute snowflake pj's

Now we're ready to go! Bring on the presents! (check out Cammie's new keyboard and Hayley's 4th gen iPod Touch)

Apparently tights are super cool this year, because all the girls gave each other tights and they were a big hit.

Aldo is Whitney's favorite. I probably could have put Payless shoes in an Aldo box and she would have been mesmerized. I didn't, but I totally could have.

Sexy legs...

A killer North Face jacket! Santa also brought me some new climbing shoes!

Jerry rocking his special golf ball finder glasses. They make the golf balls light up so you can find them more easily when you get in the rough. Just checking to see if any of his gourmet cheese's or sausages will light up also.

Jane's new Brighton wallet and purse. Super cute!

Whitney's thought process

"Wait a sec, didn't I already open a box from Aldo? What's this husband of mine tryin' to pull?"

"There could be shoes made of poop in this box and I will love them!"

"This would be the meanest trick ever if there weren't really shoes in here..."

"AHHHHH! There are real shoes! I love them! And they aren't even made out of poop!"

"Ohhh...my legs are so sexxxxxxy!"

And here is the last present Whitney got. It was about as big as her. It is a new bed set because we've been married for 3 years and never had a matching set. I guess I went a little over our budget, but what can I say? I was feeling really really good after finishing all my finals!

Christmas Morning: Operation: Play and Eat

After presents we had a Glassman family tradition: chocolate waffles. They went great with all the delicious toppings: whipped cream, fresh strawberries, and fresh raspberries. Yummy! Riley was inundated with deciding which new toys to play with in what order. From his PSP to his Bay Blades to the Lego's he is playing with in this picture while Whit whips up the chocolate waffle batter.

Jerry showing off his moves on the power wing...

Whitney going for the extra point against the table football champion...She missed and Riley is still the champion!

The family gathered to chat with Elder William Draper from the Las Vegas Mission. We also got to chat with James and Kylie who spent Christmas in Utah and later we skyped the Glassman family in California. It was great spending the holiday with family and talking with everyone. Little Colton is great at blowing kisses.

Our green scheme. Whitney is so beautiful.

The girls cozy and cuddling by the fire for a little Christmas day sports action.

The prettiest girls I ever saw.

And we closed out the day with fondu for dinner. We had steak, chicken, and pork with teriyaki, general tso, budweiser buffalo wing, raspberry chipotle, A1, honey mustard, and thai peanut sauces. Scrumdiddlyumptious.

As I took this picture, one of the boiling pots of oil blasted Jerry in the neck.

We also had a dessert pot with chocolate for strawberries, bananas, macaroons, & pretzels.

NC Christmas Eve

We went with the whole family to see Tangled, which was super funny.

Mom and Dad made skewers (aka Ka-bobs) for dinner. They were DELICIOUS!

And Hayley made a scrumptious cake at work that we ate for dessert.

The "Playoff" Beard

My Stud Muffin finished his first semester of law school! Hallelujah!!

He sorta forgot how to shave amidst the stress of studying.

One semester down, five to go... but who's counting, right? First semester stats to come...

Above: Devon sporting three weeks of hair growth. Haha

At least he looks a couple years older than 16.

News: Devon will be abroad in Oxford for an exchange program this summer!
