Winter 2010


YEA! for SNOW!

Adam and I are so thrilled that we finally got some good snow. Its not fluffy though because of all the ice mixed in. So you kind of just step and then fall in. We have had fun watching Izzie though. At first on Friday the snow was softer so she was hopping around like a bunny but now she stays on top and slides around. We took advantage of taking pictures though because who knows when well see this much again.

Friday I thankfully left work an hour and half early in the morning so I wouldnt get in to much trouble on the roads. It was messy but not to severe at the time. But by noon it was crazy out there. Adam got home late for work due to the weather but at least he got to come home. We just stayed in that night and watched TV and played games. We found one place who was delivering pizza still and ordered. Jets pizza is only a few miles up the road so didnt feel to bad. :)

Saturday, we went outside some but it was just sooooo cold to stay out to long. We had our neighbors Katy and Buster come over and hang out. Adam cooked Chili for dinner. Then Katy and I watched Miss America and they played games. It was a fun night. The people who lived behind us are very rude though. They have a dirt bike and they were riding it in the empty lot next to them since the streets were ice. Well, for some reason they thought they could ride in our lot too. Made us so mad but we never said anything because I hate stirring up trouble.

Today, churches were cancelled. We decided to walk to the entrance of the neighborhood and take pics. McrCrory has seen better days. You couldnt even see the road. Makes since that we have only seen SUV's leaving the neighborhood. Even though we saw a van fishtailing as it was making its way up the hill to leave. It didnt make it.

I think we are going to get back out and play a little more this afternoon since the sun is making it atleast feel a little warmer out there.

Adams parents bought us a space heater for our house and have been so thankful for it these past few days. With our vaulted ceilings the heat rises up and leaves us still cold so the space heater is nice to sit beside you and warm you up. Hopefully, it will make our gas bill look a lot better.

We havent been up to, to much else. Today is Adam and I's 1 year and 6 month anniversary haha! And tommorrow is Izzie birthday. I wasnt able to get her a present yet since we are stuck in the snow. so sad.. but she turns 3.

Here are some pictures:


This is McCrory Ln. above. Its the road we have to get on to go to the interstate.
Our deep foot steps on the road.


OUR HOME!


Does anyone know an easier way to put pictures on here. They always take a lot of work for me to work in...

Lately...

Hi!
I havent posted in awhile. Sometimes it hard to figure out what to say.
We had a lovely Christmas. It was great to see all of our families and spend time with them. Sad though because I have seen Charles almost every month for the past 4-5 months and now it will be 4 months before we see him :(. Sadness.
Over New Years Adam and I took a trip to Gatlinburg. It was nice to get away for a mini vacation. We did a little shopping and got to eat at my favorite restaurant Johnny Carinos :). Adam was also sweet because as my family knows we used to stop in Gatlinburg EVERY year on our way to SC for Thanksgiving. And every year I wanted to go eat at the Mr. Ghattis there. Its a really big one and I love chocolate pizza haha. So Adam let me go there FINALLY! haha
Adams Pa has had a hard time. He is in a nursing home after a fall and is now having prostate problems. Please pray for his recovery.
Adam and I have been doing well. We have finally started turning our house into more of a home. We added a rug in the living room and curtains in the bedroom. We also made a list of numerous things we would like for the house haha. Its ridiculous. But we will just do a little at a time.
Adam andI have also enjoyed playing our Wii. We spend many evenings playing Super Mario Brothers. Its quite entertaining. We have also enjoyed the Wii Fit. Even though it makes fun of us.
This week we have been playing a game mom and dad got us for Christmas. Its a new version of the game LIFE. We have enjoyed it.
Our weekends have been very busy latley between vacation, Adams cousins wedding, Matthews birthday, and so forth; it seems like we just keep going on and on. Izzie even got a play date last weekend to meet my friend Sarahs boxer puppy. It was quite entertaining to see them react to eachother.
Mabye this weekend we will just hang out here. Im wanting to organize our office because it is such a mess. Adam is thinking about going back to school either in the summer or fall so I would like to get that area ready for him. He is thinking possibly another go at nursing school :).
Not to much going on over here. I have been freezing in our house lately so I think im going to go buy a mini heating blanket today. Darn vaulted ceilings.
