Last night we were met with flurries falling quickly as the sun went down followed by even heavier ones into the wee hours of the morning.

I was wishing with all of my might that work would close on account of the weather so I could have a day off. Selfish wishes I know but last week wasn't my favorite and I needed a break. I called work and was told by voice mail that our clinic was closed for the day. (Hallelujah chorus inserted here) I hung up the phone, closed my eyes and rolled over... today I can rest.

Today was the first day for Adam for start his internship which he's been looking forward to. Not sure as to whether or not they would be open he called and e-mailed with no answer. 

For the past couple of weeks we've purchased a few new dress shirts, a couple of  ties and a handsome pair of shoes. Now he's got a whole new wardrobe and looks better than ever. I wish I'd taken a picture!

He rushed to get ready in the chance that they were open and drove downtown. With no luck the marshall's wouldn't let him in as he didn't have a badge or key (those were the two items he would be given on his first day) so he left and came back home. I must say I'm glad they weren't answering their phones because I got him all to myself today. 

We lazed around for a while then got ready to see "Country Strong". Gweneth Paltrow did a great job as did my Gossip Girl favorite Leighton Meester. The two of us found ourselves singing the songs from the film after leaving the theater. I would definitely recommend it if you're in the mood for a drama and catchy songs. (I also loved that multiple scenes took place in Nashville.)

With whatever weather you've had I hope your day has been wonderful. I know it's Monday but at least it's another start, right? Have a lovely evening....I'll talk to you soon.

Hello hello and a happy Monday to you!
After a fun weekend in Nashville with our families we are now back in Memphis just in time for a little snowstorm that hit us this morning.
Saturday morning my mom and I were able to get our nails done together which we had never done before. In fact this was my mom's first time to have hers professionally done and they look so good! My feet were in desperate need and that poor guy who took care of me deserved every bit of that tip. All of my toes are a sweet light pink shade in honor of valentine's day. {Aren't you just so excited for Sunday?} We spent our time between both families watching movies, going shopping, church and lunch at Red Lobster. Such a nice gesture for Adam's parents to take all of us out! We left Franklin early as we wanted to make it home before the Super Bowl started so that we'd still have somewhat of a weekend at home before the work/school week started.

{Side note: Adam's from Louisiana leaving us to cheer for the Saints of course! Who dat!} 

Much to our surprise we woke up this morning to a text from Adam's friend Zach stating that the snowbird called for snow and school was cancelled for him. I scoffed at the text "knowing" my work wouldn't close for anything as we have many patients to attend to yet after texts between a few girls from work were exchanged and a call to the boss we were told to enjoy the snow and not come in. Thank goodness, we would have had to leave at 7 normally but instead I laid my head back down on the pillow.

Excited to have the day off I lazed around on the couch watching the morning tv shows and quickly jumped off the ole tush to clean clean clean. Adam had to pick up his friend from the airport who attended the super bowl and didn't know if he could take him all the way to his apartment and might have to have him stay at our house.  

Wipe the sink down. Wipe the kitchen counters. Make the bed. Assemble all the dirty clothes from the luggage and stuff in the washer. Stuff Stuff stuff....you know they'll fit!

Having been pretty low key all day I'm itching to get out again but the forecast calls for another 3"-6" of snow overnight. I'm sure cabin fever will kick in if work isn't open tomorrow but all is well because we have Mad Men Season 1 to catch up on. Yay!

Long entry coming to an end promeese.

Love you all, I hope you have a lovely evening!

After spending most of the weekend inside due to the snow storm I have to say I'm glad that the ice has melted.
We woke up Saturday morning both having cabin fever and wanting to get out of the house.
Initially we thought to take the car out but as you can see above our windows were covered with a thick layer of ice topped by a couple of inches of snow. There wasn't any kind of defrosting that could get our car on the road. Still itching to do something we decided to start walking and ended up a few miles down the road at Barnes and Noble to look at magazines, a burrito at Taco Bell and a warm chai for the walk back home.
As you can see in the last photo the sidewalks didn't give way to any traction and Adam slipped a lot because of his shoes but no scrapes or bruises.
The rest of the weekened we didn't do much as church was canceled. I took the opportunity to clean every inch of the house because a plumber was coming today and Directv as well.
Alrighty off for the night, I hope you have a wonderful Monday evening!

What a slushy mess lies outside these windows of our home, I'm glad to be inside that's for sure.
With sleet and snow falling quickly (and sticking) my boss let the entire PT department leave for the day.
I can't tell you how excited I was to drive home for a hard day of blankets and netflix.
