in spite of

-despite the fact that it is still November, I am listening to Christmas music

-despite the fact that it is cold outside, I still need to run

-despite the fact that I tell her to stop, Audrey just keeps on growing
-despite the fact that Sunday is the day of rest, ours are anything but restful now

-despite the fact that it scares me, we are potty training Audrey

-despite the fact that my kitchen is tiny, I still love cooking

-despite the fact that some days I am moody, Justin still loves me
