Spring! Or something like it....








IT SNOWED!!!! all.day.long. I have never ever seen so much snow here before. It didn't stop once. Crazy. I just got back from an AWESOME trip to AZ, where of course during my stay was cloudy and rainy. I got back yesterday and it rained all stinkin day, and now THIS! I texted my fam who said it was 80 degrees and sunny again. And why couldn't it be that way while I was there? Who knows, but I sure am having fun watching all of this snow! Who would've thunk it? Not only is there all of this snow, but there is so much water that there is a lot of flooding already. The water photos above are of the river flooding the park near our house. I have to say though, I AM LOVING IT! 
Since it is so cold out I decided to make some warm and delicious comfort food tonight for dinner. Homemade mac & cheese using this recipe by Ina Garten. It's called "Grown Up Mac & Cheese". It is super duper delicious! I'm not usually a big mac & cheese kinda girl so it is saying a lot. Greg is in hog heaven! 
Tomorrow I expect to still see snow on the ground as it hasn't let up yet. Maybe Greg will get his first ever snow day! Not likely, but hey, wishful thinking right?!
I'll share the photos from my AZ trip soon. I just need to get the pictures from my peeps. Did I say it was awesome yet? It was. So. Good. (and quite the whirlwind, gotta love those 3 day in and out trips) I love my family. (happy birthday Jeni!)

It's coming!


 


 this is what I see when I drive to and from work. Not a bad view eh?

Spring is coming! Days have been longer and sunnier. There have been more breaks from the sea of grey that usually looms above our heads. Instead we find ourselves looking up and seeing blue skies, and big white, fluffy clouds. Trees are starting to bud and blossom. Daffodils have begun peeking up their pretty yellow heads. Oh I just LOVE springtime here! It seems like everything comes to life- a very colorful life! I'm going to strive very hard to take lots of pictures and share them here with you this spring. Because it really is quite magical. I hope you have a lovely day today!
