Ice Storm. 2010.

I know that those who have ever lived outside of the sweet and sunny Californian paradise have probably experienced a lot more of a REAL winter than I have... that is until now. I am officially in the middle of it, and it's beautiful. Seriously, it's breathtaking. No possible way to deny God's beauty and creativity. Doesn't do too much to change the fact that it's FREEZING cold (literally) outside, or the fact that my dad and grandma probably are getting around faster than I am these days, but at least it makes for a nice change of scenery indeed. Most of these I took right outside of our apartment, I only fell twice trying to get to and from the courtyard to the apartment, I'd say they were worth it. Enjoy.




Literally Frozen Over.


One of the coolest parts was that when the wind blew them, because of how heavy the branches were when they swayed together it sounded like applause, it was amazing.

Snow and Things.


It's coming down prrrrretty hard right now. Pretty being the main thing, it's soo much easier to appreciate the snow when you don't have to walk/drive/move/touch it. From the comfort of my couch and warm apartment it's magical. These also happen to be some of the biggest snowflakes. Ever. Seriously, they're the kind all the whos and the grinch must live in.

In other 2010 news, I started my job and I have a feeling it's going to be amazing, I really like the peeople I'm working with and the opportunities I'm gonna have.

In related news last night Chris slept IN what was supposed to be 'our' snuggie. Yup, he went to bed and got out of bed wearing it. Yeah.

And of course what kind of blog would this be without a Midwest/SoCal difference.

Definition: something you wear on your head to keep you warm

Me: beanie
Iowa: stocking cap wth?

Something you're asked at the groceries:

CA: would you like a bag for that?
IA: do you want me to sack that for you?

Ummm no thanks?

Thats it from this snow globe for today.
