Tuesday

This morning I woke up at 7:35. In case you are wondering school starts at 7:30... lovely. It seems like on those days your whole day get kinda thrown off.

Tonight I think I might give a stab at the Pioneer Woman's Au Gratin Potatoes. Well if my milk is still good... crossing my fingers that it is. Because it's far too cold outside for me to force myself to drive the whole 60 seconds to the store.

Yesterday was the start of our third term (woohoo!- summer is just 12-ish weeks away) Most all of my classes seem to be pretty good, which is way exciting. Term 2 I was not feeling any of my classes. Plus I have 4th period conference. What is so glorious about 4th period conference you might ask? Well it's the lunch period, aka it's 2 wonderful hours long.

Off to figure out dinner...

Patience

My husband has so many great qualities, but in general he tends not to be a very patient person. This weekend while celebrating Valentine's Day I definitely tested his patience, and he proved to be amazingly patient. On Saturday he suggested we go to Northpark mall, I think I said yes before he even finished the sentence. As we are about to exit for the mall there is a sudden back up in traffic. Hmmm, that's weird- all these people can't possibly all be going to the mall! I mean it's just valentines day! We finally make our way towards the park lot, 30-40 minutes later we finally find a parking spot. Any other day Tim would have just turned the car around after about 2 minutes of not finding a spot. During our entire adventure looking) So once inside the mall he happily came into all of my favorite stores, he tends to prefer the "you go in your store, I'll go in mine, we'll meet back in a few minutes" normally. Once leaving the mall we made our way to Sprinkles Cupcakes, I had mentioned a few days prior that was my one Valentines request and forewarned him that they are overpriced. (Did I mention he is also the cheapest man alive?) Upon arriving to Sprinkles there was a line out the door and halfway down the block. Once again no complaints, just happily stood in line and didn't even complain about spending $3.25 per cupcakes. And then after that he patiently waited for a table at Chuy's for another 40 or so minutes. I was so impressed with his patience all day long and could tell he was doing it just for me. And spent the day going out of his way trying to make it extra special.

Snow?

Since early yesterday morning till early this morning we got a freakish amount of snow. Literally like a foot of snow. It's unreal. When we get snow we don't really expect to get anymore than 1 or 2 inches, but this is intense! School got canceled for our record amount of snow! I have never seen anyone that loves snow as much as my dog. Since it's so deep she can't walk through it, so she has to hop. It's pretty cute and hilarious. And when she does come inside (which is against her will) snow is stuck to her fur in snow balls. Here our some of our snow picture, but I don't think it quite gets it justice...

Yesterday after school



This morning



And because everyone has been begging for more pictures of Bella



Ok, maybe not... but she's cute!

Obessed?

I can't help but be completely and utterly in love with my sweet dog, Bella. Or as my husband and I affectionately refer to her- Belly. In my eyes she can do no wrong- even when she is (let's be honest) kind of bad. She is a snuggler and an excellent spooner. She prefers to sleep between Tim and I, under the covers, head on my pillow. I know some of you are throwing up in your mouths right now (cough*twins*cough), but we just can't help but be head over heels for our doggy child. And because every post is better with a picture and you are just dying to see her....

Please Hurry

It has been freakishly cold for Texas the past couple days. This morning when I woke up it was 16 degrees- seriously? And we've already gotten snow 3 times this year. I don't even know what's going on. Normally we hang out about 50 degrees for most of winter. However with this freakish cold we don't even have snow- it's just miserably cold.

This past week I've really been wishing for spring. In fact I picked this layout because it reminded me of spring. As soon as New Years is over I would prefer to just fast forward to spring break. I am just so ready for warm sunny days.

On other note: I've been enjoying this blog for past couple weeks thepioneerwoman.com
