January

How is it February 3rd already?? 

I need to record all of January since I didn't blog at all...

On New Years Eve we hung around the apartment, went out for Greek food for dinner, and then ate our favorite snacks and waited for the ball to drop.

We spent a lot of time this month finishing The West Wing on Netflix. LOVE that show. While we watched I had lots of time to bible journal.

Gizzy was obviously super cute.

The second weekend, all of the Parnell/Booker sisters were in town and at church at once! The next weekend our friends Jake and Lauren came to hang out with us for a while!

My birthday was on a Sunday this year and it fell right in the middle of a snow/ice storm. Anticipating being snowed in, we had dinner with my family a couple days early. Rebekah and Mom took me to get our nails done and then we met Josh and Dad for Mexican food. We went to Cook-out on the way home because all I wanted for desert was a mint chocolate chip milkshake. :)

It did snow and ice a few inches and I ended up missing school Thursday and Friday before my birthday. Josh had a snow day on Friday too! (I also had Monday and Tuesday off of school and a delay on Wednesday!)

Katie and Ethan surprised me for dinner Saturday night! We went to Pizzeria 66 and then had some ice cream at our apartment. 

This month Josh started working as the Family Minister at our church. Since it is a part time position, his primary function right now is as the youth minister. While he has been teaching every Sunday and Wednesday this month, we had our first activity on the 29th. We had a pizza and game night and played Just Dance for hours!

January was a fun month! Bring on the rest of 2016!

Surprise Snow Day!

Josh got up for work this morning and I heard him yell from the living room, "Babe, check for school closings!" I jumped out of bed and ran to the window and saw snow falling! It was very exciting since this was not forecasted at all. Even though it was a pretty lame accumulation, school was cancelled for me and Josh worked from home and we had a fun day relaxing. :) 

We took Kitty outside to see the snow and he rolled around in it and ate some grass. 

While I did have a fun day, I'm a little annoyed with all of the snow days. We missed everyday last week (Feb. 17-20) because of an 1/2 inch of snow and about 1/10 inch of ice on Monday! But now they're calling for 4-6 inches tomorrow night-Thursday morning. Ahhhh I need Spring to get here ASAP,

Snow Days!

After a couple of dustings this winter, we finally got a good snow! It started on Wednesday, the 12th, around noon and didn't end until Thursday around 4pm! I had 3 days off work to stay cozy inside with Josh and Kitty. It was wonderful!

We used the tripod Katie got me for my birthday but there was a glare since we didn't from inside.

I'm so glad we got to have these snow days, but now these 50-70 degree days lately have totally spoiled me for Spring! 2 weeks until daylight savings and I can't wait.
