This much snow- First time since 1985!!

Wow--- what a suprise to have the weather men RIGHT this time with predicting snow and actually having it happen! It started around 2 ish in the afternoon- i ran some errands getting mini me's hair cut and then to Wally world for some pull ups for the muffin- News crews were at the store.. it was pure chaos!! By the time we got home, there was enough fluff to play in ( thank goodness daddy was home, because i'm SO not an outdoors, playin in the snow kind of gal!) Wanna know something special about lil muffin's snow pants? NO LIE- they were MINE as a little girl! LOL-

After hours of playing in the snow last night - while i sat next door at a neighbors to gossip, we all came home about 8 pm.. i went to throw some dinner together and all the lights went out..
So, we lit some candles and ate sugar wafers ( !!!!!) in bed for dinner and all slept in our bed- apparently the power came back on around 230 this am-

This was the view this AM from our back porch- i LOVE living out in the country!!

Poor little cocoa just didnt know what to do!!

Absolute Beauty

Its on drives like these, i'm amazed i live in such a beautiful place! For those of you that dont know this about me, i've ALWAYS wanted to live in the south and raise a family here.

I would watch fried green tomatoes, and Driving miss Daisy and thought everything about the south was so beautiful. I loved the people, the scenery, everything about it, BUT....i'd never been. We took a HUGE leap of faith and moved to the south, SIGHT UNSEEN!!

People, its EVERYTHING i thought it would be! Look at this picture... as we drove through these trees, i got all giddy inside.Its sights like these that made me yearn to live here. There are small buildings on the sides of the road that once served a purpose... think of all the memories !! There are fruit and vegetable stands everywhere. I feel like there are so many stories and history to everything around here.

I'm happy that my girls are being raised here in the south and that we were given the opportunity to move here. IF you EVER get the chance to visit the south, DO it! ( IF for any reason alone, the food itself is to.die.for)

If you dont.. just pop in Driving Miss Daisy and watch the beauty of the south and the scenery it has to offer!
