The Trash Bag Sledding Gang

It doesn't feel like we are in Texas anymore after getting 12 1/2 inches of snow on Thursday and breaking the record for the amount of snow that has fallen in 24 hours! After the weather man predicted maybe an inch of snow for Thursday you wouldn't believe how surprised I was when I woke up on Thursday morning and there was already at least 2 inches of snow on the ground. Adam & I decided we should still head to work and try and get a few things done before the weather started getting really bad and everything started to freeze. We came home around 2:00 and played in the snow and made our snowman and then had the McLeod's over for Chili. It snowed all day on Thursday and was still snowing when we went to bed on Thursday night, I couldn't believe all the snow, I never thought I would see this much snow while living in Texas.

We woke up Friday morning to lots and lots of snow everywhere you couldn't see the street, sidewalks or anything, everything was just white, so pretty and peaceful. We decided to go to work around 10:00 after the ice was gone and it was safe to drive. Emily and Blake called later that afternoon and asked us if we wanted to go sledding in the park outside of downtown Fort Worth, they said they bought trash bags that we could use to sled, Adam & I were both pretty unsure of if the trash bags would work for sledding, but Emily is from up north so we figured she must know it would work. Trash bag sledding was more fun than I could have ever expected!! You cut a hole out of the top for your head and holes for your arms and put it on and then run and flop down on the snow and go flying down the hill, it was a blast! I called it the penguin because I think you look like a penguin when you are flying down the hill. Then we made a snowman for all the cars passing by to enjoy and then it was time to head home because trash bag sledding really wears you out. 

As you can tell from all the pictures (we have so many more I couldn't put them all up because it's too many) we had the best snow days EVER!! There is still a lot of snow on the ground today and I think it will take it a while to all go away. I love it and I'm just enjoying looking at the snow and staring in amazement because I still can't believe we got this much snow!

I haven't updated in a while because Adam and I have been very busy! I've been working at BK for the past month helping out and I'm really enjoying working there. It feels so nice to get out of the house and work!

Valentine's Day is tomorrow and Adam and I plan on cooking dinner together and hang out around the house enjoying being with each other. We thought about going out to dinner but neither one of us want to deal with all the people, we would rather just stay at home and enjoy each others company. 

I'll try and be better about updating but I leave my computer at the office most of the time so that makes it hard to update the blog. 

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!!
