And yet I am unmoved.

I have a love-hate relationship with Sunday now. I love Sundays because it is a weekend day, where Aaron doesn't have to go to school and we usually have little to no obligations to people. Everyone just stays at home and hangs out with their families. I don't feel guilty for being lazy. But I hate it because Will is not a happy camper at church and since Aaron is usually busy in the primary, I have to spend my three hours wrestling him and keeping him full of snacks. I am happy when we get home though, so we can promptly 'throw him away' to his bed for a nice long nap.

But I also hate it because Aaron has weekly tests on Monday morning. And, while it would be just angelic of Aaron to not study on Sunday, it is not going to happen. He has five days of cramming his head full of a semester's worth of information, and two days to really study it. And lately, his classes have been really intense, so he usually pulls an all-nighter on Sunday. What does this mean for me? It means that after I spend all afternoon cooking a glorious Sunday dinner, I also usually end up doing the dishes and go to bed alone. I actually don't mind going to bed alone, because then I don't have to worry about Aaron's snoring making it impossible for me to fall asleep. But it makes me feel sick when I wake up at like 5 in the morning and see that Aaron is not next to me.

Which is why I usually do a simpler 'Sunday meal' (aka pot roast in the crock pot) but today I took on a little more than I should have. I made chicken cacciatore, fruit salad, and Skor cupcakes (which doesn't sound like much, but it really was.) And I completely trashed my kitchen. But I did a little documentation for your enjoyment:This is chicken cacciatore...so yummy!

In other news, here are a few highlights this week:
1. Will got a haircut. This was a pretty big undertaking, a decision made at the last minute after I finished cutting Aaron's hair. I have cut Will's hair once before, but it really didn't count since all I did was cut off his mullet. Now his hair had gotten unruly, and while I loved it, it was...unruly. So we held him down and cut it, and I think that I did okay, all things considered.

2. Aaron and I celebrated our three year anniversary from the day we got engaged, Januay 28th. We really went all out...we got In n Out Burger and made some cookies. Three years ago, I got the stomach flu, Aaron went to the hospital for an IV, we got in a car accident, and then decided to end the week by getting engaged.

3. Aaron had the good fortune to learn that he gets to pay for his first board exam this summer. Hooray! I was hoping to spend some more money on dental school. Additionally, we had to pay for the study books, so we went to Barnes & Noble to check out which ones to get. After we got all the way home, I was feeling so sick and excited to get in the house. But then we discovered that I had left our house keys at the bookstore! Bah.

4. Though we didn't watch it, the Arizona Cardinals played in the superbowl tonight and everyone here was very excited and pulled out their dusty Cards jerseys to parade around, trying to pretend that they're not all fair weather fans. I don't think Aaron even owns a red shirt.

Well that's all for us this week! Tune in regularly since I think I will be updating a little more frequently in the future.
