Busy Year Already

Celebrations!

As usual, we're staying busy.  We had Christmas - which was very hectic this year :( - then 2 weeks later, we had Macie's Birthday :), and now we've started a new year and Birthday parties have already started.  We've been to three since Macie's (three in one day, at that!) and we have one this Saturday, then my Grandparents' 59th Wedding Anniversary party on Sunday.

My Grandparents are such a sweet couple, I can only hope for a relationship as strong and happy as theirs.  They are amazing people and I am so proud and lucky to have them as my grandparents.

Wonderful couple!

I always dread January and the new year, though.  It is happy in many ways, but not only do I start another busy year of social engagements, I also start back to school after a long break.  Sometimes I wonder why I even went back to school because I love being a stay at home mommy/wife so much.  I know and always remind myself that I need to make $$$ one day too so that I can be a provider as well.  I just have a feeling that after I'm finished with school, I'm going to dread going to work because I just want to stay at home with my babies (hopefully we'll have more).  I'm going to have to look into careers that I can work from home, with my degree of course.  I know, I know....good luck with that.


Snow/Ice

So, we've had sooo many snow days this year.  What's up with that Texas?  Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining (always love free days off from school!), but it did get a little old when I could barely drive to the grocery store after being stuck at home for three days.  Our pantry was looking very scarce by the time I made it to trusty Walmart - that place was a mad house.

Macie really enjoyed having snow.  She would love to be a little snow bunny, for sure.  Every morning she would wake up, look out the window, and say, "It's snow Momma!"  After it was all gone, she was quite disappointed and sad.  It was so funny, but not funny, how sad she was acting.

Today we have another ice day.  This morning UPS called Chris and told him that they weren't running all of the cars, so he got a day off, and he told me that he didn't think it would be a good idea for me to drive to Stephenville for one class.  So I didn't :)!  We're just hanging out at the house now.  I'll work on some online homework in a little bit, but other than that I'm going to relax inside and stay as warm as possible!

Here's a little update of our lives in pictures:

First snow day, just a little icy.

Gotta keep busy inside somehow!

I would post more videos, but this one took forever.  I'll just stick to pictures (unless someone can tell me a faster way)!
