A Winter to Remember

So this has been a very rare winter in Battle Ground indeed.
We have had a good amount of snow consecutively through out this past week and that's not even our big "storm". That storm hit last night and has been going all through out today. We got a good foot yesterday then a good quarter inch of inch of ice on top of that and now it has been snowing all day on top of that.
Most years we're wondering if we even will see snow for the whole winter break.

We don't have to worry about that this year.


Cody and I found this amazing philly cheese-steak place called Philly Bilmo's
So we thought we'd treat ourselves before going to see Seven Pounds at movies. movie date!


The snowman in the background was megan's snowman from the day before but got a touch of snow on top of him


The snow was too soft to build forts so Connor let us bury him. he he he


megan helping pack down the snow

The End at Last

Apologies for not getting a blog up for a while. As a semester comes to an end the work load just seems to pile so high that the top is no longer visible.
All of my energy was put into getting things done and not going crazy in the process. But I made it!! With little sleep and all energy exhausted I made it. I do appreciate finals. Having so much to do and then accomplishing all of those things just has a good feeling that goes along with it. I had a chinese project, chinese oral final, chinese written final, an art history test, a parenting presentation, a parenting final, and a book of mormon assessment, and the most time demanding of all 2 art projects with graphite (one taking over 8 hours to accomplish)...along with class and more assignments intermingled in between all the spaces. So you can see how I had to put all of my energy into getting through all of that along with one last craigo's night and saying goodbyes until next semester.

I just wanted to report that I am alive and well and finished out a very very good semester. One of the best. :)
