10 For Tuesday!


1) Zoe has brought us much happiness in our life ever since we brought her home two weeks ago. She is always full of energy and is absolutely adorable. She is a good alarm clock and is much better then listening to an annoying beeping sound every morning. :) Each day we have been doing a little bit of training with her and she is getting much better. She sits MOST of the time, but we still need to work on it. House training is going much better now. She still has a couple of accident's, but she is getting much better at telling us when she needs to go outside.

2) 2010 Blizzard!! This has been a record breaking snowfall since 1996 with 30 inches of snow! It started to snow around 11am and continued till 6pm on Saturday! It was absolutely insane how much snow we got here. I felt like I was living in Chicago again. I couldn't believe how much snow we got. Here are some pictures of the incredible amount we got, it was fantastic!

Side yard.


Gary measuring how much snow we got so far. It was at 22 inches. Believe it or not it snowed even more.


Front yard. Can you see the road anywhere?


Look at how high the snow came to covering the fence!


Time to play in the snow!


Zoe not quite sure what to think of all this white stuff.


Gary going to jump into the big pile of snow. 1...2....3....jump!


Woohoo!!! Fun!

Can't forget our Zoe!


After the storm. We made it!


Nice sunset.

3) I worked a little bit on Friday, but once the storm hit I picked up Gary and we went home. We vegged the rest of the day watching the snow fall.
4) On Saturday as you can see above we played in the snow a bit and shoveled some of the snow. It was very heavy so it was hard to remove it all so we did it slowly each day.
5) Church was canceled of course so we stayed home and relaxed.
6) On Monday our car was still buried so we didn't go to work.
7) We were suppose to have our Stake Conference session at the Temple on Saturday, but because of the snow it was canceled. Stake Conference is suppose to happen this weekend, but it has been canceled as well.
8) The snow was so heavy and tall that the snow plow hardly came down our street so Gary and I and our neighbors all helped shovel the street so that we could all get out and go to the store if we needed to. It was really nice to meet our neighbors and chat with them more then we have since we moved in. Gary and I did need to go to the grocery store so we were fortunate enough to get out and run a couple of errands.
9) Oh, and did I tell you that we got some more snow tonight and it will continue through tomorrow. We are in for 10 to 20 more inches of snow on top on what we already have! Aren't you glad you don't live here! :)
10) Till' next time.
