SNOW DAYS!!!!

Not even a year ago, I was totally pumped and excited about "Best Snow Day Ever". When a "Snow Day" only happens once or twice a year, it is exciting. But this year has proved my statement at the end of my blog a year ago, "I wish everyday were a snow day" incorrect.

I take it back. I'm tired of snow days. I love the snow but do we really does it have to snow this much. Since when did D.C. become the snow capital of the U.S.A.? Back in December we had a huge snowstorm and I think we all thought that we were done for the year. But we were certainly wrong about that.

Within the past week, D.C. has had 3 snowstorms. One small one to start us off, a huge one in a middle, and a big one to end things off. Once I found out that school was going to be canceled before the huge one hit, I drove up to New Jersey to visit my parents and try to get away from the snow (I'd rather be snowed in with my parents anyways). My trip to NJ ended up being longer than expected. I was home for over a week (longer than our Spring Break)!

President's Day was suppose to be a "make up" day for one of the snow days. Then they canceled it for the students because it's still unsafe. BUT the teachers still have to come into work! And now they are probably going to extend our school day to make up for the lost time.

Snow, I use to love you but now I'm changing my mind. I want my regularly scheduled life back. Though I did LOVE the time with my family!

I love that it looks like a couch that you just want to go sit on!

Notice that the shopping carts got plowed into the huge pile of snow!

We're getting sick of it too! I heard somewhere that Baltimore is the snowiest city in the United States right now (even beating Anchorage!)

I'm ready for a trip somewhere tropical right about now!

I know what you mean...sort of...we didn't miss a whole week, but we missed a day. It was fun playing in the snow...but I was kinda bummed cause it was Valentine party day...an EASY day. :) Oh well...it was fun to play in the snow.

I can't believe the snow you've had. Hope the adjustments to your schedule too crazy.

Bree's Back and She's Better then Ever!

Bree and I have been friends for a while now. Our friendship began when we were roommates at BYU after meeting our freshmen years (over a decade ago!). She just returned home from serving a mission in Spokane, Washington and it had been a long time since I'd seen her. We've shared some fun times together over the years and I couldn't wait to see her again. * As a side note* I love Bree and think she's amazing. She can sing, play the guitar, piano and drums, and she writes her own songs (even has her own CD). She wrote me a song years ago! She's also amazing at any sports she plays, especially frisbee though. In addition to this, Bree is just so fun to hang out with. So Bree invited me to come up and join her for her first YSA dance after the mission. Since, I love YSA dances ( I actually can't stand them...i really just love Bree), I said I would go. So, after work on Friday, I dressed up and drove 2 hours up to York, PA. This dance had to be one of the most ...

I'm Worth a Grand More and Pounds Less

I did it!!! I went the whole year of 2008 without eating sugar! At the end of last year, my mom challenged anyone in my family to go the year without eating sugar. Now when I say "no sugar", I don't mean nothing. I mean no sweets, candy, cookies, etc. I ate fruits and other items with minimal sugar (for example - Cold cereals with 6 grams or less). I also had 3 days were i could "cheat". So what was my motivating factor? $1,000 and the thrill of a challenge . I'm not one to pass up a challenge or a dare. My mom offered to pay $1,000 to anyone that completed the challenge. Though most people thought I was crazy, I wanted to prove I could do it. During the first couple of months it was really hard to give up the enticing sweets and goodies offered to me on a daily basis. My dreams even began to manifest my desire to eat candy, as I was sneaking bites of candy and licks of lollipops all night. I'd wake up thinking I'd ruined the deal but then the rea...

Kansas City Temple Dedication

I have this fabulous friend that lives in Manhattan, Kansas going to Kansas State University. I have been really wanting to visit her for some time and I finally made it happen! The Kansas City Temple was going to be dedicated the first weekend in May and so what better time for me to come out. Friday Night, we went to a Jamaican restaurant in Manhattan. (Yes, they had one there...not expecting that!) You really felt like you were in Jamaica until you stepped out of the restaurant and realized you were in Manhattan, Kansas. After dinner, we went for a walk in Aggieville. The hang out olace in town. Yes, it was only 3 blocks long. We got ice cream sandwiches from Cold Stone. They were delicious and spent some time at one of the local bars until I got too tired and we decided to call it a night. Saturday Morning, we went walking around her neighborhood. The weather was amazing! Then we headed back to Kansas City for the cultural event. Along the way we...
