Let it Snow!

This morning the phone rang around 6:45. I ran to the phone thinking if someone was calling that early something must be wrong (I know, I shouldn't think the worst!) It turns out it was one of Bryan's employees letting him know that she would be late into work today because of the snow. The snow??!

The last time it snowed in this area was 10 years ago. I actually remember it! We were living in Houston. I was outside on a trampoline at a Young Woman leaders house and little snow flurries started to come down. I remember being SO excited! I don't think anything even stuck on the ground, it just felt amazing that it was "snowing". I couldn't help but smile when I heard the neighbor kids outside this morning before school playing and yelling. The thought came to me that those kids who have lived here their entire life have probably never seen snow before. When Ethan woke up I took him to the back door to show him that it had snowed and he was glad, but not very impressed. He just pretty much told me that we need more snow and a big hill. I guess living in Idaho, Ohio, and Iowa makes snow a little less of a novelty.


So, here it is! A picture of our exciting Texas snow!

Yes, someone truly did call in late to work because of this.

HaHa! Look at all that snow. How funny living in such a different place where they call in because of a light dusting of snow.

Dang! Better break out the snow tires! he he. But how fun for the kids that hadn't ever seen it snow before! Believe it or not we haven't had much more than that up here yet. (Not that I'm complaining)
