Extra day!

Today on the extra day of the year we got our first real taste of winter. It's about time! I love the first pretty storm of the year. Where I live we usually get a couple good snow storms a season.

Wasn't sure if we would see any snow this year with the unseasonably warm weather we have had. Thankful that it finally came! =)

Does anyone do anything special for this day that comes once every 4 years? I don't normally.
I should change that!

Hope you all enjoy today!

again???

Seriously guys...It's snowing again. Now don't get me wrong, I love the snow!! It's fun, beautiful, and even magical. BUT it's spring time now and I want sunshine and birds singing! Sandles and t-shirts!

I know there are serious issues going on around the world and I shouldn't complain about such trivial things.....but I'm allowed to right?

Maybe one day I will see the sun again! Until then...HELLO SNOW!

Oh did I mention that I live in CALIFORNIA!? Go figure...

snow snow snow!

A couple weeks ago my area (Northern California) was hit with a big storm! We got about a foot of snow. The power was knocked out at my house for over 24 hours (lots of other places were out for up to 5 days!) I had a snow day on that Friday and so did most of the town. I love snow! We probably get one good storm per winter and this one didn't disappoint!

Anthony and I had fun walking around town. It was the perfect way to start out the weekend. Spring can come anytime now.. I had my winter fill for the year. =)

snuggle fest!

This weekend was full of snuggling!

Anthony and I babysat this cutie

We love him.. and want to keep him. **We will see what happens....**

It also snowed this weekend...which is pretty rare. We usually get one or two snow storms a year but this one came a bit early!

It was the perfect weekend to relax, snuggle, make some corn chowder, and nap.. oh and drink a glass of wine. =)

Hope everyone else had an awesome one! Looking forward to this week!

Snowy Days

I love when it snows!

We only get a few good snow storms a year. Last night was a good one.

It was beautiful! I took a little walk this morning around 10. Usually I would be at work but we cancelled it because trying to drive any of our cars would have been insane. Especially mine. lol

I walked down to a local coffee shop and ordered a hot chocolate and a donut. :)

Yum!

Grass Valley is pretty when it snows. My favorite part is in the early morning walking outside and hearing nothing... not the slightest noise. Just the silence of the snow falling.

Today is good.

ahhhh...

So i leave for New Zealand on Friday. It's really all too surreal. This will be a trip of a lifetime.

I can't wait!

I'm pretty excited for Christmas too. I want to give Ant his presents. I hope that he likes them. :)

It snowed a lot here last weekend (12/14/08). I will have to get some pictures up of just how beautiful it was. It kind of sucked at the same time because we had to drive over the summit from Reno and it took 5 hours to get home when it should take an hour and half tops. OH well. It's pretty much all gone now though. It's fun while it lasted.

Pictures soon to come and a yummy recipe for Turkey Chili! :)
