still snowing...

Well- today we officially used our last built-in snow day. I was really hoping to go at least a half-day today because I know we will be off tomorrow, but the call came in at about 5:30 saying we would be staying home today. It started snowing around 6am and is still coming down strong. I am going to guess we will finish with about 6-8 inches. When we lived up north we couldnt wait to be out in the counrty so we could watch it snow without all of the city sounds and traffic. I must say it was worth the wait. I don't know what it is but there is something so very peaceful about looking out and seeing acres of fields covered in white puffy snow. The trees are so beautiful and the only marks in the snow are the little animals trying to find a place to stay dry and warm. God is so amazing!
 Today I got my work-out in and am getting ready to work on 721. I have some new and exciting things I am working(thanks to my sister-in-law Mandy)- I have two senior models ready to go for this spring!! I must say though I would not have them it were not for Mandy- thanks so much!! I owe you BIG time!
 Tonight Nathan and I have a movie date night! We are going to blow up the air-mattres, pop some pop-corn and watch Facing the Giants. The o-so- sweet janitor at the school gave it to me(she was actually one of my dads class-mates and shared some great stories about him!)
 Speaking of my dad- I sure do miss him today. He not only LOVED the snow but often times tried to find ways just to get stuck in it!! It was always so fun. Last night I had a crazy dream about him- we were at the dentist together! This is the third night in a row that I have had dreams about teeth! The two nights before that I dreamed they were falling out!!! Not sure what thats all about, but last night we were at our dentist together with my grandma & grampa Whelan. Too funny.
 I am going to go enjoy lunch as I was the snow fall. Happy Snowy day!
