Winter Wonderland

Ha, some of you might think this little snow is funny because I know this isn't much snow for some of you. Kevin is from the East Coast and I am from Germany. We both used to get bitter cold, snowy, icy winters. We know what true winters can be like. Anyway, here in Washington State schools close, cars are crashing everywhere, it's just hilarious to us. Also I think our State really doesn't have the equipment for serious snow. We do get excited when it comes but it never lasts but a day or two. The kids here go crazy. Since we are a rainy State, the next day we are usually hit with power outages and stuff if the snow hit pretty good. Anyway, today was nice, we had black ice, it was freezing, it's still snowing so our County Executive just let us go home at 3pm. I drove home, started dinner and baked lots of cookies. I just love being home and taking care of my family. That is my favorite job. I only hope that this weather will go away soon because I am leaving next Sunday. Please pray for a safe departure from Washington State and the East Coast. Our airport is actually closed tonight because of the weather... Figure that.. The pictures below were just the beginning of the snow. We now have about 4 inches. I hope for no power outages tomorrow. I can handle the snow but I can't handle no heat. We are so blessed in this country with so many things, especially water that we take for granted every single day.
