Snow Day!

I woke up yesterday morning to the most pleasant surprise...a snow day! This is the second one we have had this school year...and they said I would never get a day off up here :)  Peyton thought it was fabulous to have me home. I watched Criminal Minds and Grey's from earlier in the week and she thought that was the perfect time to cuddle. I also got to clean the kitchen/dishes, do a few loads of laundry, and some living room pilates and ab workouts...which Peyton thought were my attempts at making her a human jungle gym.

It really didn't snow as much as I expected, but I wanted to see how much was in our backyard. This is about 6 feet from our back door... about 18 inches or, as you can see, up to my knees! Oh and there's two more waves coming next week...when will I ever see grass and roads again?!

I promise I am not that large...this is 3 layers of coat! Necessary to stay warm up here!

Yesterday also happened to be national Margarita day! It may or may not be made up, but I was going to err on the side of caution and celebrate :)  

J and I went to the gym around 5:00 and it was packed! Apparently that's where everyone goes when it snows. He knew I wanted a margarita so he drove me straight there after the gym, however I did not bring my ID out when we left. So my sweet husband drove home and back (30 minutes in the snow), not once complaining, to bring me my ID for my margarita. I did not order this size, but apparently our waiter thought that is the size you deserve after a 30 minute wait!

It also happened to be my spiritual birthday! My mom and I were baptized together on February 22, 1999 (I think, it could have been 98?--Mrs. Bonnie and Mr. Jeff would know!) What a wonderful, relaxing day to celebrate :)
