I'm So Glad

So glad I didn't hesitate, that is!

Last week, Debra at Bungalow posted this gorgeous tole tray for sale on her blog. Now usually I'm the kind of girl who has to ponder things but this time I jumped on it. The tray is gorgeous and absolutely perfect for my kitchen corner. Thank you Debra!

I'm also trying my best to be glad for more snow. It's coming down again. :)

This morning I started tutoring at my old school. It will be an hour or two per day for the next two months. It's always fun to go back and be with the kids and teachers. Have I ever told you how much I love school?

Outdoor Wednesday

Happy Wednesday! Today I'm joining Susan at A Southern Daydreamer for Outdoor Wednesday. I hesitate to show snow again but that's exactly what we've had here in Edmond, OK. The snow fell last Thursday and Friday about 5-7 inches depending on where you were. I think we got the 7 " for sure!

As I'm typing this on Tuesday, the snow is finally melting! The kids have not been in school since last Wednesday. For those of you who live in the north, I'm sure that's bazaar to you. This storm was very icy and the roads have been pretty dangerous. Our pond has been frozen across the top for days. Don't worry...the fish will be fine. :)

I heard them say on the news that a typical winter for us has about 9 1/2 inches of snow. So far this year we've had 19" of snow in the Oklahoma City area! We could definitely still get more. It has been a winter time adventure for sure!

A Snowy Day 2010

I could call this Frosty Friday for all my Oklahoma friends and we could link up. :)

I love Oklahoma so much. When I was a kid growing up in Dallas, we used to just pray for weather like this.

It is just beautiful. I loved it this morning when I woke up and creeped around the house in the quiet. Snow makes everything sound so soft and sweet.

Guess how many pieces of chocolate cake a girl can eat when it's snowing and icing outside?

I'll never tell!! On another note, we were supposed to fly to Chicago today. I don't think it's happening but the airline won't say so just yet.

Snowy Scenes & New Years Goals

These snowy scenes are so beautiful I just had to share them on here....

I hope you all had a fabulous holiday filled with love, laughter and memorable little moments. I know I thoroughly enjoyed taking some time off to enjoy spending it with family and friends.

Can you believe it's almost the end of the year?? I certainly can't! Although for me 2009 was a bit rough in a few ways, I'm grateful for everything positive that I experienced and am at peace knowing things happen for a reason. I have several goals for 2010, three of which I've shared with Cassie over at Moon Face. She has a great little series going where she's been featuring a blogger a day and three of their goals for the new year. Be sure to check it out here if you haven't already!

Happy First Day of Winter!
