WHAT A DAY!

Luke and I woke up to SNOW! Not just a bit, but a good 2 inches.

Our Snowy Home

I do realize that isn't much for some folks...but please remember we live just two hours from MEXICO. Have I ever told you that Carlsbad sits at 3,000 ft. in elevation!! High Huh! Carlsbad tends to get at least one good snow per year.

It's snowed all day reaching about 5 inches, and should continue to snow for the next day or two. I'm interested to see how long this last, and how much we truly accumulate.

Sad news though...Luke and I have NO hot water! Can someone please explain why the hot water pipe always freezes? Logic would tell me to assume the cold water pipe would always freeze first! Luke took a nice sponge bath this morning in the kitchen, and it looks like that may be the routine for a while.

Another interesting thing I noticed today was the snow wasn't wet! I know that sounds strange, but if you tried to make a snowball it wouldn't stick together. It was very dry and wiped off everything. It made for easy windshield cleaning, but still a strange thing for me. I've never seen "dry" snow before (at least that I can recall).

Other than snow taking over....It's NATIONAL SIGNING DAY!! I love this day! I follow recruiting a good bit every year, but have really been paying close attention this year. I am SO EXCITED about the class we have coming in. The best O Line in the country is officially ours! I was happy to see that we were in the top ten, and blown away to see that we jumped up to the number two class in the country. War Eagle People!

Finally, I finished up this great day with purchasing myself a valentine present (from Luke technically--and early I know). He admitted that he was going to get me flowers, but I requested two of these instead!

I am hosting a shower in Atlanta this March with an event planner by trade (another bridesmaid of a good friend of mine). She and I were talking over the shower and she mentioned that she was going to bring her apothecaries. I then got to thinking that I don't own anything for serving drinks (not counting nice pitchers). I really like these because I can see myself decorating with them around the house when they aren't in use. They are just pretty and practical to me! I would tell you more about the shower, but you'll just have to wait for pictures and details to come since the bride reads this blog regularly.

I hope all of you had a wonderful day!!
