I saw this hilarious picture the other day.
This and other versions of the picture have been spreading across the web like wildfire -- too funny.
This is the house across the street from us.
And here's the lovely view from our windows:
We're also double-fortunate, because school has been closed for me and Preston has been able to work from home the past couple days. We're blessed he has a job where that is possible when driving conditions are less than stellar, especially since he has a 30-min. commute.
I've always made fun of the fact that every time the news channels start telling us there is going to be a "Winter Storm" -- the whole town floods to the grocery stores and stocks up as though they may not get out of their house for weeks. I used to work at a grocery store, and it was always mass craziness the minute that winter weather advisory was announced.
This storm kinda crept up on us, and we did not make it to the store before all our doors froze shut. Alas, I will now be one of those over-prepared people stocking up the minute I hear a winter storm (might be) blowing in. It's much more fun to be stuck at home if you have lots of good food to eat. :) I totally get it now. Yet another lesson learned the hard way. ;)
Despite being stuck at home, and having all of our windows completely covered in ice and our doors frozen shut, and of course the safety concerns that accompany a storm like this ---- there is something so beautiful about the icy landscape.
Hope you all are warm and safe! We have power, so if you need help or somewhere to warm up please give us a call.
xo,
Emily
