Home Sweet Home

I Looked out the window and what did I see... SNOW! Are you serious? Now, I understand the first snow is exciting, but really, it was like an inch, maybe 2. No big deal, right? Not according to the school district. We had a SNOW DAY... NO SCHOOL! How ridiculous is that? There was absolutely no need for it. My car (not an SUV, not 4-wheel drive) would have made it just fine! Now we will have to make it up some time in April when the weather will be 80 and wonderful. These people down here have issues! I have never had a snow day, and last year I remember driving to school (on many occasions) pushing snow like a snow plow! It was such a waste. I would not be so bitter if we would not have to make it up!

However, because I have been sick, it was nice to have an extra day. It also gave Kylee some time to play with friends and make a snowman! So, not a completely wasted day!

What is THIS!!???

Are you kidding me? I went to great lengths to get rid of this stuff. I thought that I had eliminated this filth from my life! What am I talking about? SNOW!!! The Devil's dandruff! ICK!!! Today we got snow! The kids at school were excited about it. I, on the other hand, was in a really bad mood! Snow makes me cranky! I really was not in that bad of a mood, but it did put a damper on my day. It is actually kind of nice because it has been hard to feel like Christmas is coming without cold weather and snow. It has been pretty warm and very sunny! Blaine and I were playing tennis a couple of weeks ago. I am sure that my spirits will lift in a couple of days because it will melt before I know it! THANK HEAVENS! 

THANKS!

Wow! It has been a long time since my last post! My photos are not loading as quickly as I would like, so I am getting frustrated! Anyway, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I think the best part was that we had no idea where we were going! We were supposed to go to Las Vegas, then Blaine maybe wanted to go to California to watch the Weber State game, and Kylee wanted to go north. We got in the car having no idea which option Blaine would choose. He got on the freeway and headed north. We spent a great couple of days with family. It was really nice. We have not been home for Thanksgiving for a couple of years, so it was really great. My mom and I almost got up to hit "Black Friday" (JK!). There was no way we were getting up that early. We hit the stores at about noon, and we still were able to hit all of the stores we wanted and get the stuff we wanted. No way am I getting up early to fight with people over stuff. My sleep is too important. It is so amazing to really appreciate the holidays. I have been so busy during this time that I have not had the chance to enjoy Thanksgiving or Christmas. Not doing the drill team has given me so much more time with my family. We are having so much fun together. I miss my drill team family, but I do not miss the craziness. This change has been a blessing for us!

We are really excited for the upcoming holidays. We are having so much fun in the 60 degree weather! It is so awesome! Have I mentioned that I love it down here?
