winter wonderland

with only 5 tiny snow falls that melted the next day and only sunshine for a week in the forecast, we thought we had escaped the "famous cleveland winter" well, we didn't. this is what i saw the other day, when i opened the front door..

good thing it's beautiful. i'm still not used to driving in it, but i think it will get better.it hasn't been icy.. i 'm sure people think of me when i drive, how i used to think of the az snowbirds..

love the sunset + the whole street covered in snow.

i get excited when i see green trees, the majority are brown, so you see the reason for the excitement. i love the barn and  the fields in every season!

my snow angel.. i didn't want to get my hair wet, so it doesn't have a head:) love the snow on the evergreen tree..

j had to work after church yesterday, and i was feeling adventurous. it's a tradition for us to explore something new on sundays.. and i wanted to see how lake erie looked with snow. . so i went alone. this is an example of how huge and amazing the houses are on the lake!

i'm pretty sure lake erie is prettier in the summer.. haha:)

1. i made these "i love you because" frames for the ladies i visit teach for valentines. the cost was $2 since i got the frame and the pen at the dollar store! the pen is dry erase, so you can write things you love about your family on the glass :) 2. my curls. took me 7 minutes after i let my hair air dry! curling with the straightner is my new best friend. 3. the view walking out of church 4. j eating an oreo doughnut at voodoo doughnuts on his trip. 5. pizza/breadsticks at a much needed girls day. :)

love every second of babysitting little sophia rose :) babies are just so precious! i always come home baby hungry!

my mom sent me my quilt! she paid for it to be quilted. i love it so much! it's so soft and cuddly with the minky on the back and brings so much color to our couch! this won't be my last quilt i make!

1.  melissa and i at work, the salon has been so busy and i've loved it! 2. more trees. 3. my high heels for church ( hard to walk in snow with heels) 4. cutest shoe chair at the mall 5.sunday dinner for one:)

j switched his schedule around so he could attend his good friend, mikes wedding in washington! he had such a good time getting to know his wifey to be, seeing old friends and making new ones! we are so happy for the new mr. and mrs!

j sent me this picture.. he wanted me to tell him what i think happened.. i failed haha. i  love when he brings me treats that he gets free at the hospital. . sushi, ice cream snickers, huge water bottles, naked juice, the yummiest chocolate bars and the recent a small pack of oreos.. i complained to him how when we get a full thing of oreo's it's so hard to control myself:) good thing he doesn't bring me treats everyday:)  

since i work the afternoon/night shift and j had the day off.. we decided to grab some hot chocolate and go to the metro parks. it was a very good day:)

love spending time with him:)
