snow & ice

This week was a VERY short school week thanks to all of the snow and ice we had. We started off the week with snow and no school on Monday- then a VERY cold Tuesday with a 2 hr-delay, we decided to go to school on Wednesday then the ice came and we called it a week! Gosh I love being a teacher!
 I must say being a stay at home wife was AWESOME. Ok, so I wasn't just a stay at home wife, I got ALOT done for 721 sooo technically I was working. ;) I loved it and pray that someday I will be able to do this full time, how stinkin awesome would that be!!!
 Friday I was going a little stir crazy and my Christmas list was glaring me down so Mom and I decided to spend the day shopping. We haven't done that in a really long time! It was so much fun, we laughed at the 'personal rug razor' she found, the hippies in Quest, the random lady that tried to talk her into some game at the toy's store, the $1500 rug I wanted to buy, the few minutes Mom turned into the Tazmainian devil and knocked EVERYTHING off the shelves in Macy's and then the lady that got accused for shop lifting! It was quite the day. After we finished all of our shopping we met Nathan for a delicious dinner and enjoyed a nice glass of wine.
 Saturday we got up and Nathan was READY TO WORK! I just LOOOOVE those days- he is on a mission and we are going to get things done. I try my hardest to get out of them... I couldn't find my socks, I lost my shoes, I didn't have a hat- none of those 'tricks' seemed to work. He wanted to get the garage cleaned out so I could park my car inside. Yes, a very nice thought but.... not in the middle of the winter!! He told me I would survive and managed to find everything I had 'lost'- so out we went. After a few hours we got it all cleaned out and everyone was a happy camper. :)
 Then last night my mom got us tickets to see the Nutcracker ballet. This is a family tradition of ours for a long time but we haven't been since dads accident. Once Mom found out that Nathan had never seen it- it was a must. I was pretty excited, I couldn't wait to get all dressed up and go! Nathan was a trooper and put on a happy face too. We got there and the poor guy didn't even realize it was a ballet!!!!!! HAHAHA I am still laughing about that one. THEN he leaned over after the first few scenes and asked when they would start talking!!! Poor guy, maybe someone should warn him of these things the next time.
 All in all we had a wonderful time and I think he even enjoyed it a little- or maybe it was the fact that they had an intermission where he could get something to drink! haha
 here is a picture of us during the intermission- please ignore the fact that it looks like I have shaved my eye-brows and Nathan and I both look very green & scary!

Today we went to our new church and once again really enjoyed it! Then came home watched the Colts get a W and finished up some work on the computer. For dinner we went in and visited my grandma to see all of her beautiful Christmas decoration and enjoyed a nice Wendy's meal. Nathan and I both enjoyed ourselves and he was glad to hear some of the stories she told about my dad!

 I can't believe that Christmas is this coming week!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am finishing up my shopping tomorrow and then going to start wrapping. We have school Monday & Tuesday and then will be off the rest of the week. I have three photos shoots this week so that will keep me busy too!

Ok now that this is the longest post EVER, its time for me to hit the sack. But first Nathan and I have to play our nightly game of Risk & Suduko on the ipad before we can go to sleep! romantic huh? :)
night all
