Well, it’s a day late, but I’ll bet you can all guess what I’m thankful for.

In honor of the upcoming holiday of Thanksgiving, I’m going to post a little about cooking here in my new house.
I’m happy as a lab in water in my little kitchen and have utilized just about every dish and utensil that I have. The pots work great and I love the knives – they’re so sharp!
Things are cooking…..
Making lasagna right now. Have you ever made one in a loaf pan before? It was the only thing I could think of that was small enough to be for two people!
The big one is for guests.
Next I broke in my new mixer with a good batch of ginger snaps!
Ahh…the kitchen has now been properly christened.
Of course, after I’m done in the kitchen there’s usually a LOT of dishes! (As my family may well remember)
Fortunately I have a great dish washer! (It came with the apartment).

I’m happy to say that Brian is on the mend! He took today off from work ( ) to try and get some food back into his system. I tried to accommodate him as well as I could by making homemade chicken noodle soup – works every time. Next I got him outside in the fresh air (and aired out our apartment too) as we biked into Big Sandy to mail the thank you notes I had finished.
As his health returned our roles began to switch and he started taking care of me. On arriving back at the apartment I said playfully that I didn’t feel like going back in there yet so he took me on a long walk to some areas of campus I had not seen before. After successfully curing his girl of cabin fever he then indulged a craving that had been growing in me all day long – I wanted something sweet, like ice cream or brownies. After supper we went to get a few things for his computer project at the house then found a brownie that really hit the spot. Ahh, all is good now.

I guess I should update seeing as it’s been a little while. I guess the biggest news is that we’re both sick. 
Some bug has been going around campus and we got back just in time to catch it. I was sick last night and Brian was quite a hero in caring for me. We were at the dining hall helping with clean up after a big formal dinner for graduation and I had to call him out of dish pit so he could take me home. He was so nice and did anything he could to help me feel a little better or get more comfortable. He even cleaned up after I got sick.
I spent today trying to get some stuff done while slowly recouping. We were supposed to run 15 miles today but that kind of got dropped. All went fairly well until after dinner tonight, when Brian started heading down hill. I get to try and repay some of his kindness from yesterday. You could pray for our quick recovery – fortunately this bug doesn’t seem to last too long.
*edit* Poor Brian got hit pretty hard last night but seems to be over the worst of it now. I was real impressed with how he handled himself though – he cleaned up after himself and took care of everything. All i had to do was feel sorry for him when he came back to bed each time. Now he’s sleeping fairly peacefully and I’m making some hot tea for me. I just praise God we weren’t both that sick at the same time!
And so life continues on……

Welcome to our house! If you are here for the virtual tour of the new
Cahill residence then please step inside and make yourself at home – we
do!
At first you would be greeted with quite a site! But through hard work this weekend, Brian and I have put everything to rights and transformed our living space from this…..
To this!
Next you shall see our kitchen, where we have already enjoyed several good meals. The bathroom is complete with a his and hers sink – a definite plus in getting ready in the morning).
The bedroom is a great little sanctuary – the head board was perfect – thank you to dad who got a hold of it for us. The bedside tables were picked out on Saturday complete with the matching lamps – Brian had a hand in this and did a great job – nice touch to the room.
Brian’s biggest contribution was to the work space for the two of us. My computer is on the left – that’s where I’m sitting right now. He found these great desks, the little console for inbetween them and has set everything up where we can hook our laptops into the keyboards and monitors. He got the laptops, another server and all the cords neatly stowed away in the middle cabinet through an ingenious piece of workmanship.
Best of all, he got this great idea for altering our desk drawers into keyboard trays. Last night we took them over to the wood shop and viola!
We got them cut down, sanded and stained all within an hour! He constantly amazes me with his hidden skills – he’s quite handy with the jig saw!
Well, that’s all for now, just wanted my readers to know that we’re still alive and kicking, (You’d better believe it – Brian took his PT test this morning and aced it while I ran ten miles). Now I must go about my wifely duties 
Glad you could stop by!
