We made it through the nastiest winter weather this week! Whooo! Monday the temperature was -30 degrees with -45 degree windchills! I got my first adult "snow day" at my office job.....so exciting! At least, I was excited until the power went out!! Holy crap.....that was cold! The worst part was taking our dogs out 6 times that day......living in a condo we don't have a yard! It took forever just to bundle ourselves and the dogs up against the crazy temperatures....and then we would be out there for about 20 seconds! Luckily, the power came on after about 6 hours....just as it was getting dark and we were about to leave to seek out someone with lights and heat.
I figured today I would introduce my cute little hubby, Greg:
We met in college at the University of Illinois in Chicago. We lived on the same floor of campus housing. He was extremely persistent trying to get me to go out with him. He is 2 years younger than I am and he had a long-term girlfriend at the time. I told him I was not worth it and advised him NOT to leave his girlfriend for me. However, Mr. Stubborn did not listen to me and broke up with her over winter break of his freshman year (he was no longer happy in the relationship and they had very different views on the future.....so I wasn't a complete home-wreaker!) He persisted and I finally caved and went out on a date with him telling my roommate "It's just a date....it's not like I am going to marry him or anything!" Little did I know! We've been together ever since! We have been together for 8 years now, married almost 2! He is the most loyal and committed person I have ever met! He works for a PBM (pharmaceutical benefit management) company.....and I have no clue how to describe exactly what that is! All I can say is that he works extremely hard.....50-80 hours a week....and is that dedicated in every aspect of his life. I love him more than anything and can't wait to see what the future has in store for us!
