The first snow didn't produce too much, but it was enough to shut down the South for a day or two.
But Deek got to work from home! YAY!
And we drank lots of tea from our cool Star Trek looking teapot!
The second time around, it came down a little more!
I don't hide my feelings on the matter. LOL!
But, it made a cool view from our three season room.
I *love* that room!
The bright sun shimmering off the snow highlighted Trinity in a glow of kitty beauty!
Gus was so cold, he wanted to sit inside my jacket. LOL!
One time, I chose to go into the snow and go tubing on Mt. Hood with Deek.
Y'all, these trees in Oregon are everything... <3
It's not really relevant, but I just love the picture.
While we were snowed it, at least Deek got to work from home, by my side, for several more days. That's the one benefit of snow...more time with my man!! And we'd done a good job of stocking up on food, so we didn't have any problems there. In fact, the night it started snowing hard, we cooked up several batches of meals to use in the coming days. We kinda ate like kings...albeit healthy kings. LOL! By the end, I'd almost run out of Aloha bars, Bai drinks, and plantains, but our stock held until it was safe to venture out again.
Snack of gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free champions! ;)
We enjoyed movies, popcorn, and Bai drinks in the presence of the great and mighty Trinity!
Then finally, finally, all the snow melted, and the South returned to its regularly scheduled program (50-60 degree days)! Deek and I went for a 5+ mile walk because we were SO happy to feel the glorious sun on our faces and feel the warmth against our skin!
This man, y'all. I had *no* idea it was possible to be this happy or this in love.
Deek is my dream come true! <3
Deek's kisses are hotter than the sun! <3
Meanwhile, our gym handed out free flowers to help combat the January blahs.
How cool is that?
And we *had* to put them in a Mason jar because...the South. ;)
Thankfully, January is almost over. Only one more month to go before spring makes its glorious appearance. Until then, I'll be over here dreaming about the beach and the sun so hot if feels like it's eating your skin. ;)
PS. I've been so busy with the latest changes in our lives and so obsessed with surviving the snow, I realized I didn't do a post on Illogicon!! We had a fabulous time there and met some amazing people, so stay tuned for that post soon!
Until next time, stay warm, and may the sun be ever on your face. ;)
