Dear God, please find us jobs some place warm.....

It has been WIIINTER here lately. It hit us really hard Thursday morning in the form is freezing rain, and I do mean freezing rain. It took some very careful walking to get down the steps in our apartment that morning b/c not only were the steps frozen, so where the hand rails. Scary!! About midway through the morning I was sitting at my therapy table playing domino's with some ladies and I looked outside and saw the biggest snowflakes I have ever seen and in less than an hour all you could see was white! So pretty!!

However, at 12:00 as I was driving home (school got cancelled!) it was quite different! If you don't know I have a little Volkswagen Beetle and a drift blew up behind my car that was taller than me and I was stuck! I finally got a guy with a shovel to help me carve out a driving path and then was able to get the remaining snow/ice out from behind my car with my coffee cup from that morning! Amusing I must say but VERY cold!!

This was my front porch when I got home. We live on the second floor! Crazy right!?
Some more pretty snow outside the apartment. This was nothing compared to the next morning!

and some more.

This was my car window the next day as I got in to have lunch with a friend!

Taryn to the rescue after lunch!! I was so glad she had a scraper b/c I had kind of a long drive to a hair apt!

I have seen the terrible side of snow though! Now that it is starting to warm up the snow is all melting and GIANT icicles are falling everywhere at my apartment. Like no exaggeration, they could hurt you! And it is slush everywhere and my feet have been wet for days! Yucky!! How can something so pretty turn into something so nasty in just a few days??

God, if you are preparing me for life up north please reconsider! Thank you! :)
