Snow Day!

Wow, there's a lot of snow out there...enough that my boss called me yesterday morning in the midst of the storm to say, "Please stay home today. We're going to be closed." I hadn't really looked outside at that point, but once I did I realized that even if we weren't closed, I would be staying home. As much as I love my car, there was no way I was getting anywhere close to leaving my driveway. Instead, Grant and I enjoyed our snow day together and made Christmas cookies, watched TV, did some shoveling, let Jersey hop around in the snow and pretty much made the most out of a day stranded inside. Around 5pm, the snow finally stopped after about 36 hours. 37 inches (that's just over 3 feet!) in total, although with all the shoveling and snow plowing, there are piles that are easily taller than me. It's the most snow I've seen fall in my lifetime and I'm so happy that it pretty much guarantees us a White Christmas.

Today was a bit of a challenge to get to work, but Grant's Subaru pushed through and we made it just fine. It's actually an incredible sight to see, especially around the lake. Tomorrow night we are supposed to get another 9 inches or so...just in time for my family in California to see! My cousin has only seen snow once in her life and it was about an inch deep - so this should come as quite a surprise.

In other news...my friend Kelsey graduated from college last weekend and I don't think I've ever seen someone look so fabulous on graduation day! I am 100% certain that her cheerleaders were the loudest in the crowd. We had a ton of fun dancing the night away...enough fun that getting locked out of the apartment in sub-zero temperatures didn't seem too bad. :) My other friend Liz got engaged today! Her and her fiance Bryce make a great pair and I am so excited for them! 90% excited and 10% jealous. Okay, more like 80/20.
