Plus's and Minus's

I know you've all heard, it is COLD here.  You've probably heard on your news, and I'm sorry I've resorted to blabbing about the weather.  However, today I walked out to my car to go to Target, for the first time in 4 days.  I kid you not, it felt WARM to me.... do you know what the temp was?  A whopping 20 degrees! +20, I might add.  For the past 4 days, it has not reached a + number, this three/four day streak of negative temps has not happened since 1996, I'm so glad I was here to endure it. So.... why do I write? Because I have to, it makes me feel better. It wasn't all bad, we had a good time, it made for lots of one on one time with Will! :)

There are some positives to negative temperatures........

-the SUN is shiny, or shining.  It seriously was beautiful, TONS of white snow, our house all bright and airy looking, and the sun shining ALL day long.  Today, it was cloudy, a little snowy, and even though I loved the warmth, I missed the sunny sunshine!

-we slept in, really slept in... it doesn't even get light here until after 8am.   Then after we slept in, we drank hot chocolate, and stayed in our jammies almost all day.  Will loved it!

-I got to organize, organize, organize.  

All in all, it was very relaxing to know we couldn't really go anywhere, even if we wanted to.  Our house was full of groceries, we ate lots of homemade soup, homemade bread, and made cookies.  We read lots of books, and really just took advantage of time together.  Three cheers for minus temps!!! And now.... please bless that it never happens again, I like my near daily trips to Target! :)
