Six months later I return....

I keep thinking I will update my blog but never get around to it. I've been in school for 2 months now and love it. It's a lot of work but I have found out I enjoy learning. I think it has something to do with having lived a little and seeing that wow...that information they are giving us will be used in some capacity in my life. When I went from high school to college I couldn't see it then but now I do.
I had signed up for 4 classes but after the first week I realized there was no way I could keep up with four classes this semester. It may take me a year or so longer to get my degree but I'll just keep plugging away and hopefully meet my goal someday.
This winter has been a rough one so far. We've had so much more snow than in years past. I'm sick of snow and ready for summer. Hopefully it's going to be a nice one.
I need to get some new pictures up but just haven't had time to get to it. My desktop computer is so slow and that's where the pictures are. I'm on spring break this week so maybe I'll set some times aside to get that done.
Ok, I'm off to get some work done.....

My little snow girl

Kinsey went out to play in the snow this afternoon. I went out and took a few pictures and came back into the warm house. The snow was deeper than I thought it would be but the sun is out so it should start melting soon.

We have winter this year! After last years lack of snow, we have had an abundance of snow this year. It's nice but what a difference a year makes. Kinsey is disappointed that their is no school since we have been in the house since Friday. I think she's missed talking to people here own age. I'm going to enjoy the day and get some stuff done that I couldn't get done this weekend.

Here are a few pictures I took this morning.

Side of the house where the snow started melting then froze again.

It's a snow day! ~m~

It snowed hard yesterday from about 3:30 until about 9pm. I think we probably got 3 or so inches...guessing since I didn't measure. Our school district announced a 2-hour delay last night and this morning they canceled school. I still had to be to work at 8am. Kinsey and I had a hard time getting on the highway because the roads are snow packed and there is an incline. After about 4 tries we got going and made it to work a few minutes late (I'm definitely getting a 4 wheel drive next vehicle!). The kids were wound up today but did play pretty nicely. I made taco/tostadas for lunch and they chowed down. They are all down for a nap now....sweet silence ;-)



Here is a picture my sister took at her house last night.
