January DIY

scrapbook!

i have finally started working on a wedding scrapbook. its still a work in progress. i've got all the pictures in place, i just need to spice up the pages!


and of course cleo helped the whole time, she goes where mommy goes.

i have absolutely enjoyed doing this little project. this was the perfect day for us to always remember. just looking through all the pictures gave me goosebumps. thank you to everyone who was a part of our wedding and to everyone who has been a part of our lives as a married couple. we are beyond blessed!

snowed in.

early sunday morning the snow began to fall...

it's now tuesday and i'm on my third snow day.  it's been called a winter storm, snowpocalypse, and the polar vortex.  we received about 11 inches, on top of the snow we already had, and temperatures have gotten down to -20 degrees with a wind chill of -50 or so.

i enjoyed the first snow day. the second was kind of funny. but today, i need out! i have serious cabin fever. i've watched a ridiculous amount of tv, cooked a couple meals, baked some cookies, and cleaned the house... a few times. wes and i went out sunday evening for a walk in the snow blizzard... it was still coming down at this point and the temperature was in the 20s. monday we hibernated, there was nooo way i was leaving the apartment in negative degree weather with a foot of snow on the ground. and today we went out for maybe 10 minutes; we took out the trash, started our cars, and snapped a few pictures. it was 2 degrees outside! yucckk. don't get me wrong, i've loved the time spent with wes. how often do you get stuck at home for 3 days in a row.
however, this weather is crap. i hate snow. and ice. and these cold temperatures. and this stupid winter storm knocked over my favorite lion king tree outside of our apartment complex building!

take me someplace warm.
