This quote keeps running over and over through my mind. We watched the movie last week in honor of Groundhog Day, and it is hands down one of my favorite comedies of all time.
Then "one of these big BLUE things" hit us, and we got 3 feet of snow on Friday night, and life has been somewhat miserable ever since. Luckily we only lost power for an hour...HUGE blessing. But digging ourselves out is another story. Remember, Tanner has 2 disc herniations in his back and I am 6 1/2 months pregnant. Good times! Today I finished digging us out, only to come in and check the forecast, and we are supposed to get 10 more inches tomorrow! Which reminds me of another quote:
"What if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today."
The days are all running into each other. We haven't had church since January 24th. The kids have massive cabin fever and probably don't understand why mom and dad are just a little bit ornery. We tried to take the boys sledding, but the snow is so deep and not compact that we mostly just sunk into it. Tanner did get a relatively decent path going, but by the time it was starting to get good, the boys had had it, and were crying wrecks. But having said all of that, the snow is beautiful, it tastes really good (Clark said it's his "favorite dinner"), and we have shelter, food, and family. So, life is good.
"Winter, slumbering in the open air, wears on his smiling face a dream of spring."
I am dreaming of Spring.

Wow! White!
It does look like fun. We haven't really gotten any snow this year. :( Last year we got 10 feet in December. It was FUN. Digging ourselves out was some hard work though. Good luck and try to enjoy it for all of us back in Washington.
This will all be a distant memory if you come down here with us!!! You will be thinking "I don't remember what it is like to go outside and feel cold"
