Snow Day!

It's been a while since I logged on here... today is a snow day, so why not today? Actually, I am about to go to bed, but thought I would blog real quick.
Yesterday I woke up with a stomach ache and headache and just couldn't get myself to go to work, which was a good thing cause then I did get sick and slept until noon... crazy! So I felt better by yesterday night and woke up refreshed and ready to head to work this morning. I got out of the shower and looked out the window at all the blowing snow and thought, "I better check the school district email." What do I find? An announcement that school was canceled due to inclement weather, aka strong winds and very cold temps... it ended up being sunny most of the day, but the blowing snow was so bad I couldn't see my neighbor's house much of the day. Back to the story... I had already showered and just stayed up. I made a big pot of coffee after Nate left, put The Office season 2 in the dvd player and sat on the couch for about an hour. Then I decided to put Christmas decorations away, then vacuum, then move furniture to vacuum under it, then rearrange completely. I even got our "catch all" room cleaned up enough to walk into. The bed is even cleared off and if someone needed to stay at our house, they could do so. So it was a productive day for me. Next time we have a snow day... maybe I will attack our office and throw a bunch of junk mail and old papers out so i can use my desk again! I do wonder if we'll have another snow day tomorrow though... our roads are worse now then they were this morning. Who knows.

January is almost over! Nate and I have been able to go snowboarding a few times in the past 2 weeks. I thought I might have forgotten how to do it... but I am actually better this year than last year and sometimes I get really brave and just head straight down the hill... yikes... I'll get better as time permits. We've also began a Bible study at our church called Experiencing God and it's been a good way for us to spend time in our word and pray together each day. It is challenging in that we are memorizing verses also... so far so good! I better head to bed now in case I do have to get up early enough to drive on the bad roads to school... goodnight!!
