snow in north carolina! say what?!

Sunday, January 31, 2010

yeah! it snowed this weekend! for real! the end of the week, we kept hearing about this big storm that was rolling in. it was supposedly going to snow and we kept hearing that we should stay in and that things would essentially get shut down if there was any snow. friday, there was nothing. but overnight, it started raining, which turned to snow. so when we got up saturday morning, there was about an inch of snow. and it did indeed shut pretty much everything down. the state of north carolina is just not really equipped to handle snow the way we minnesotans are used to! so it's rather funny to us! it seems like nothing to max and i, but it is a big deal down here! because of the snow, we ended up staying at the house all weekend. it was too icy to go out saturday night and on sunday, the church we had wanted to check out cancelled all the services! so we stayed in and had a lovely relaxing time!


max's good friend, pullar came with him again this weekend. and pullar's girlfriend, amy, was in town to visit. so we had some guests, which was a lot of fun. friday evening, the guys got in after dinner, we hung out and played a bunch of games. saturday we awoke to snow and we ventured a mile down the road to the coffeeshop (we were some of the only customers she had that day!). we also had some neighbors and relatives over saturday afternoon (they braved the snow!!) for enchiladas. it was nice to sit around, chat and eat together! sunday we slept in (since there was no church!) and putzed around the house and the backyard.

i posted some pictures from the weekend. kathy and david have a lot of fun games in their basement, so we decided to take some "staged" photos with L. she is such a little trooper and half the time she posed all on her own! whew! all the thought trains in my brain just crashed against a very large wall! i am tired! i am off to join my daughter in dreamland...
