    Free!

    Yesterday was our final day of being snowed in. Our street was plowed and after I dug a path at the end of our driveway we are officially free! I also have to give a huge shout out to our neighbor who helped me navigate up our street! I think the final number was around 19 inches of snow. And it’s supposed to snow again on Sunday. I didn’t capture many pictures of the snow, but here are a few. With temperatures and wind chill below 0, we didn’t even get to take Ben out to play in it. It’s amazing how many things on my long to-do list didn’t…

    The Snow, it’s a Coming

    It’s official guys, our governor has declared Missouri in a state of emergency. The snow hasn’t even hit yet (although we did get a nice little ice shower this morning) and the University has cancelled classes (this never happens) and all non-critical clinics which means I get a snow day!

We will miss you Anna!

    The $5 disaster

    The other day as I was trying to upload pictures for a post a message popped up that I had used my 1GB of free space. In order to continue to add pics to this little blog I would need to purchase more space. The cost of 20 more GB was a measly little $5. Hmmm…I wonder if instead of paying the $5 I could just delete the photos from my google web album. After all, they are already on my blog. The.dumbest.thought.ever. Turns out it doesn’t work like that. When I hit delete I wasn’t really erasing the pics from my web album but from Google’s server. And there is no…
