Oh the weather outside is.......





COLD.....

That is it.. Just cold. No snow. No ice. Not even any clouds. Just bone chilling, teeth chattering, COLD.

The weather people called for snow on Thursday night, Friday morning. School was delayed. Did it snow? NOPE.

Of course I HAD to go to the grocery store on Thursday because I was completely out of bread.. That is the only reason. As long as I have Diet Pepsi, I am good. But the rest of my family are bread lovers. Therefore, we have to keep bread in the house. Off to the dreaded grocery store I go and got the bread we had to have. Was I ready for snow? Yes. Did it snow? NOPE. It snowed in Florida but not in SC? What is up with that? Okay, if you happen to be reading this from somewhere other than The South, let me explain one thing... It may get cold here for a few days at the time, BUT never does it stay cold this long. Winter has officially been here for 22 days. Of those 22 days, it has been below freezing 16 of them. As I type this, I am under 2 blankets and have on sweat pants and socks and a shirt. I have no problem with cold weather as long as it doesn't stick around very long.. I like to see it snow and MELT because that means it is warming up!!! I think I may have been a bear in a previous life because I am ready to hibernate until spring. Hopefully warm temperatures are around the corner.

Happy New Year!

Wow, what a year 2009 was and how busy 2010 is already becoming! We are almost ready to get back to our normal routine. School starts back on Monday , as well as dance and youth group at church. We are busy planning the next 7 months. Mackenzie will have dance competitions every month starting in February and ending in May. We are trying to plan another trip to Moonshine Mountain this winter, Jordan is going to Revolution this month, then there is Spring Break, and then VACATION! So far, we have been very blessed to be quite healthy this winter. I just knocked on wood so I would not jinx myself. Hopefully, we will remain that way! Marty just went back to work tonight for the first time since December 19th. He has been off the entire time the kids were out of school. However, we didnt find out in time that he was going to be off, so that I could schedule time off as well. I had to work all Christmas break. Luckily, I work from home, so I could enjoy some time with all of them!
