Snow Day #4

Can you believe this is my 4th snow day this week?

It's insane.. and I'm going insane stuck in the house all by myself!

I've had a lot of time on my hands, and to avoid some much needed house keeping, I've done some blog editing..

New header!! Yay!

You might notice a new tab at the top called "Love Story".

Just a story of how my sweet husband and I met and got married! :)

Also, If you check out the "Our Home" tab, I've got some new stuff in there for you!

Floor Plans!

Oh yes, I've had that much time on my hands!

I hope you enjoy!

Also, I had a comment earlier on my Photo Editing post about my wedding dress.

The story of my wedding gown is unique.

I wasn't the typical "go into a store, find the dress and cry" girl.

I've said this before, but I'm not exactly a "big spender", and my wedding gown was no exception.

When I began searching, I knew I wanted 3 things:
1. strapless
2. lace
3. sache

After months of searching for the perfect one, I was at a little bridal shop in Auburn with a good friend and found this cute little dress for only $150!!

The only thing it wasn't, was strapless. So I figured I could have someone make it strapless. If they could, great! If not, I'm only out $150!

So I went for it!

strapless: check!

lace: check!

sache: check!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

Happy Wednesday, everyone! 

Here is what I'm loving on this very cold, Wednesday morning. 

I'm loving that the husband and I got 2 long snowed in days together. He had to go back to work today and I'm ready to get out of the house, but the first 2 days were awesome!

I'm loving that my dog has a routine every morning. He knows as soon as I wake up, he gets fed and then gets to go outside. This is great and all until you want to sleep late. Then he starts whining in my face and pawing me until I get up. He's my alarm clock.

I'm loving the exciting things happening my my friends' lives right now!

I'm loving peanut butter oreos and this recipe I found, here.

I'm loving Restoration Hardware!

I'm loving my wonderful husband, of course!

I'm loving how great our God is!

snow day extended.

Just when we thought our snow day was over, we find out we're out again!
Both of us!
 I LOVE snow in Alabama... it puts life on hold and gives everyone a chance to relax...and to play with their snow loving dog!

yes, those are my way cool wind pants from JV cheerleading..they came in handy

Also..

I have a talented husband.

 He excels in almost every creative task he takes on.

 When I was too cold to go back outside yesterday, he decided to photograph the wintry beauty.

Have a blessed Tuesday!

Schools Out

Yay for extreme winter weather in Alabama!

School's out, Jordan's off work, there's tons of snow outside, and we stayed up late playing in it. 

Yesterday we prepared for power outages by heading to the grocery store and stocking up with food that doesn't have to be cooked. Can you believe they were completely out of bread?! We also borrowed a gas heater (we are all electric) should the power go out.

It didn't!

The snow fell fast, and within a few hours there were 4 1/2 inches on the ground. That's pretty huge for Alabama. We got our bikes out and rode slid in the snow! I haven't seen that much snow in Alabama since '93!!

After fun in the snow, we decided to make snow cream. It's so easy!

In a large bowl, mix together:

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup milk

1 1/2 tbs. vanilla (some say 2, but I don't like too much vanilla)

8 cups SNOW!

stir! hurry before the snow melts!

Enjoy! :)

Here's what we're going to do on our day off:

1. Play in the snow! Our neighbors are pulling people around on knee boards with a four wheeler. We're going to get in on some of that!

2. Watch our football rival alma mater play for a National Championship against the Oregon Ducks.

3. Begin 21 Days of Prayer! Remember? We aren't eating out for 21 days, starting now! Doesn't look like we could drive anywhere if we wanted to anyways! Thanks to a friend, I'm also looking into joining e-mealz. They make eating at home easier by compiling a grocery list, totaling the price of your list (depending on where you shop), and providing easy, quick and yummy recipes (they better be yummy)!

4. Jordan's having fun on the iMac making videos. Here's his first one:

5. Relax, cuddle and drink hot cocoa!!
