life in a snow globe.

this is the first time that i can remember actually having a winter.  sure, it has always been cold in the winter; at least for a little bit.  usually snows once or twice but doesn't stick.  or, there is one big blowout ice storm.  however, this year mother nature decided to show us what winter was all about.

we had a lot of cold weather in december and i think i remember a few flurries as well.

in january we had an 'arctic blast' which put our temperatures well below zero for the better part of a week.

two weeks ago we had 4-5 inches of snow.

last week we had an inch or so of snow and a few days of flurries.

it snowed again last night and into today, i think we had two inches of powder total.  gorgeous puffy big flakes.  the kind that truly do stay on your nose and eyelashes.  lovely.

i really don't hate it; as long as ryan is around to de-ice my car, drive me to work, and take the dog out.  ;)

beautiful snowy, and sunny, colorado

my mini-vacation was fantastic! i got to see my husband! i got to see my in-laws! i got to meet their new dog! i got to go to an amazing jackson waters rock show! and i even got to be surprised by my sister & brother-in-law and their beautiful and charming children! that was the best part of all... easter was snowy and miserable. i wore pants instead of my new lavender skirt. monday was sunny and 70 degrees. i went to the park and got sunburned. i flew home on tuesday and have been sick ever since. i'm blaming the crazy weather. i get to see my husband again on monday...good news!
