Two SNOW days in one week?!!!

I didn't think teachers were ever this excited about snow days, now I know differently. I woke up this morning with the same feeling I got when I was ten and school was cancelled. There's just something about seeing the beautiful snow fall, knowing you get to climb back in bed, drink hot chocolate and be inside watching it pile up on everything that makes you feel great inside! The family that calls the snow days said it hasn't been like this in Boone for years so can't believe we had two days in one week! The snow plow still hasn't come by our house and it's noon! Good thing I don't have to be anywhere today. Hopefully Adam makes it back from his meetings today in Asheville! Wish Jake and Blake were here to throw snowballs at, ha!

A night with Perry!!

Adam and Perry worked together in the Philippines. Perry was asked to come help give ideas for the new discipleship program so we had her over for dinner one of the nights she was in town. It was so great to finally meet a good friend who I've only heard stories about.

thank you for all the birthday fun!!!

Thank you for all the wonderful things i was given thursday. yes those are cubs shoes from who else but blakie... gumballs, life is good apparel and roses... the picture with the box is what made me smile the most. lindsey sent me her gift in a dinged up 20 year old box. i'm not trying to embarass her, i just thought it was great that she could send me her gift in that duck taped, dented box because she knew i wouldn't care! love ya linds!!

Smith's come to Boone

Smith's came to boone and it was the perfect weekend, just gorgeous!! We did spend a lot of our time driving, hence not that many pictures, and my camera died when we were celebrating Austin's graduation.................Anyways.........you do see us watching Adam play ultimate frisbee out at valle crucis park. The girls played volleyball, looked for leaves and went down by the stream. The trees were vibrant-what a sight. They left Sunday afternoon-it went by too quickly, but we are glad they got to come and see where we live.

Wrigley Dogs...

We enjoyed these many nights while cheering on a cubs victory!!!
