I think about writing often and updating on what Corey and I are doing but thinking doesn't actually accomplish much. Sorry for those who read our blog that we have been slacking. You are in for a real treat today, 3 new posts! We survived the Arctic blast of 2008 with no damage to our house, car or ourselves. I started working part-time the first week of the snow and really got to relax and enjoy it. Saturday and Sunday of first week Corey and I baked cookies and English Toffee for our neighbors and took walks in the snow. Monday I got to bake cookies and stew with Heidi. She is our friend who moved to England over Christmas. I was really lucky to have her staying so close and be part-time before she left. Wednesday I walked over 4 miles in the snow to deliver Christmas presents to foster kids in our area. My mom and I each year drawl names of kids to buy gifts for. We needed to turn in the presents by Thursday and I didn't want to chance driving. I felt like Santa almost. By Friday the snow was melted and I finished up last minute Christmas shopping. On Sunday another 6inches of snow fell. We walked over to Heidi and Kelly's place and learned a new game. Personally, I felt Heidi was making up rules. Monday I drove to Tigard with chains on for work only to discover the county didn't plow the parking lot or shovel the walk way. 4hrs later I left without seeing any clients and went home. Tuesday night we helped Heidi and Lucy pack for England and said our good byes. Christmas eve we left for Jefferson and when we returned most of the snow was gone. Some of you might shoot me for saying this but I wouldn't mind having a touch of snow every year to play in. One down side of all the snow is I am almost back to full time for January to make up for all the days we missed. Our clients didn't show but we had to and now need to fit them back into an already tight schedule. Forgot one thing, the icicle pictured Corey actually tried to save by putting it in our deep freezer. Sadly, it broke during the moving process.
