    So this weekend we got some serious snow. Not as serious as some of the other storms we have had, but the rate at which it came down was the problem. I tend to like snow, but when you have to clean it up? Not so much fun anymore. I still think is is beautiful and since Patrick and I live in the woods, it makes for some pretty amazing views.

    SNOW DAY!

    Can you believe it?! I actually got a snow day! WOOOHOOOO! I am 25 (5 days until I am 26, ah!) and I got a snow day! Holy moly what a day it was too! The area I live in easily got 36″ of snow. I am not joking you when I say it is probably the biggest snowstorm I have ever seen. It started snowing at about 3am on Wednesday morning, I woke up at 6am to find out I had NO WORK, yesssssssss! The snow was steady until about 7pm that night and then it finally tapered off. I was literally outside shoveling snow probably 4 times yesterday.…
