Our First Snow!

Well, we finally got it. It took forever this year!!!!! Last year, we had 2 blizzards behind us at this point! It started snowing around noon...just a few flurries, no big deal. But within 40 minutes you could see if falling out the window from across the house. I love snow as long as I can get off work. :) However, today, I was supposed to be at my best friend's baby shower, which was an hour away. I was bummed that I missed it, but I am a frady cat in driving in this weather. I ran to walmart, which I was planning on doing later this evening, to get everything I needed for the week. Bad weather always cracks me up b/c when I got to walmart, the parking lot was PACKED! I go to the store every Sunday for the following week. That was my plan today. It was CRAZY inside!!!!! People get in this freak-out mode and start loading carts with water, canned goods and anything they can think of. I know the weather is supposed to be bad the next few days, but it just makes me laugh. I can't make fun b/c I don't want to get out in it either, but I wasn't stocking up like we'd be locked in the house for 2 weeks. I guess a lot of us here in OK are more worried about ice storms and getting the power knocked out for weeks....which has happened in the last few years. I also have to give some credit to walmart b/c they were incredibly prepared. They had EVERY SINGLE check-out like OPEN!!!!! I was in line and out of line in less than 15 minutes! That makes me SUPER happy!!!! (Thank you, Walmart!!!!). Anyway---I'm back at home and the snow just gets thicker and heavier. We've had some really pretty HUGE snowflakes! Its still coming and I hear that tomorrow and Tuesday will be worse. Maybe, just maybe, I'll get a day off work this week. :) (These pictures were taken at 2:30pm)

My favorite thing about today??? Burning the wood stove! Toasty!!!! :)
