Yep it's winter

My girlfriend knows how to deal with winter. She has boots, she has scarves and 4 wheel drive. She plans cozy meals and tea to keep us warm.

I however, feel completely lost. I don't know how many shirts are appropriate for 20 degree weather or in which order you should put them on. I just want to put my cold hands on her somewhere and snuggle up in our bed. 

I do have these awesome new wool slippers that she gave me for Christmas and a heated blanket that I think of as home base in the mornings. Because she is afraid of our pellet stove, Satu always turns the heat down at night, so when I get home in the mornings, the downstairs is frozen. The dogs have learned that they can sleep on the bed with Satu if they just wait for her to fall asleep first. The cat just curls up on the other side and everyone is happy. By the time I come to bed, I have to kick off two dogs and wrestle my girlfriend away from the cat, but she always heats me right up. 

When Satu sleeps, her body temperature goes up about 10 degrees. It happens almost as soon as she falls asleep, which is weird since she is always cold when she is awake. The main reason that I am glad that we ended up in Ohio is that I get more snuggle time than I would have gotten otherwise.

Yep, it's winter and our home is cozy warm.
