New Year, Fresh Start

Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! I finally got all of our Christmas decorations put away on Friday and it feels so good to have our house all fresh for the New Year! Here's our dining table with some lovely flowers my husband got me for New Years! Isn't he sweet?

Today we'll be leading worship at church, spending some time at home finishing up laundry and whatnot. This evening, we'll be going to Mackenzie's parent's for our usual dinner and a movie! We're bringing the movie this time and we'll all be watching Get Smart. I hope it's good. We all really like Steve Carell from The Office, so I'm sure it'll be good.

Monday, I go back to work and Mackenzie works and starts classes up again. It's back to the business of life!

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Snow Days!

Bare with me ladies as this is my first blog post!

It has been so wonderful these last two days. It snowed here Sunday night and since I work at a school, we had a snow day on Monday! I was able to get all of my Christmas cards done, which took about the whole day! I was also able to spend some time relaxing and playing my guitar. Mackenzie had to work and it took him an hour and a half to get home! His drive is normally about 20 minutes!

This is the outside of our home. We've finished remodeling the inside and will be working on the exterior in the spring!

To my surprise this morning, the road conditions were still dangerous, so we had another snow day. Mackenzie has the day off on Tuesdays, so we were able to spend the day together enjoying the snow and watching some movies. We went for a walk this morning and explored the neighborhood. Unfortunately I was unable to get pictures but it was so beautiful. Something about the snow is so peaceful. At least when you aren't driving in it!

So what do you do on a cold, snowy day? Make grilled cheese and soup of course! I love this electric griddle. We received it as a wedding gift and it has been so useful!

Mackenzie doesn't like tomato soup, so he requested applesauce with his grilled cheese instead.

So, we ate our lunch and then snuggled up on the couch to watch a funny movie. Later, we braved the weather for dinner and another movie! It was definitely a day of movies!

Enjoy the rest of the week!
