Snow and Wedding Stuff

This Week was an eventful week.....

Tuesday, winter seemed to have set in finally.  It had snowed a couple of inches over night and the forcast was for snow, snow, snow.  Lots of lake affect snow.  Also, on Tuesday, I woke up with a queezy stomache.  I went to work, proceeded to expell part of what i had to eat the night before, and promptly went back home to spend the rest of the day sleeping on and off, and NOT eating.  However, i drank plenty of fluids and by evening, after several checkings in by my lovely, caring fiance over the phone and email, I ventured to make some chicken broth and noodles. (it was very fortunate that i had both in the cuboard. :)  That went down ok and i was feeling better that evening although achey.

Wednesday, I felt better and went to work, still cautious of what I ate.  It warmed up significantly and RAINED for much of the day and evening, ridding the ground of any excess snow it had managed to keep from the little previous snows.  That night however, the winds kicked up to a heafty 60 mph gusts in places, bringing with it MUCH colder weather and SNOW to the greater buffalo area.  Most of the area north of us got pounded with snow. We did not get any snow, but the weatherman promised that the 'southtowns' and 'ski country' would get snow thursday night.

Friday Morning I woke up at 5:30 and talked to Melissa on the phone some...about wedding concerns and, well, whatever was on her mind.  I then remembered that it was supposed to snow...so, i rolled over, peered out the window, and to my delight, found LOTS of snow.  It had Indeed snowed as the weatherman promised.  The plowman had already come and it was still snowing...I went outside earlier than usual to start my car and brush the snow off.  There was already 3 inches of snow on the freshly plowed parking lot, and I had probably 10 inches on my car. :)  I do so much enjoy living up more northerly where we get more snow.  The Lake is also kind enough to grace us with lots of snow until it freezes over.  Thankfully, I had snow tires(nice and sharp) and I made it to work without sliding anywhere....I was very happy that I got to 'test out' my snow tires.  They are impressive :)

I learned later that day that areas north of me had gotten at least 27 inches of snow over the past 24 hours!!!  I left work friday to go home to visit Kerry and family and to deliver gifts that Melissa and I had gotten for them.  Again, thankful for those snow tires. :)

Saturday morning, I woke up to a 10 o'clock appointment at David's Bridal with Kerry so that she could try on different styles of bridesmaids dreses.  Melissa had been to the Bridal shop with her mom in Maine the day before and she wanted us to check a few styles.  The end of the day resulted in us deciding on a Style AND Color of dress.  I also walked next door and registered for the Tuxes too :)   A very productive day.  We also have a reception hall. 

This will be the third weekend that I have been away from my home church.  I kinda miss it.  I will be home next weekend, only to leave for maine for Christmas.  I am excited to spend the holiday season with my Fiance.  She is great.  I love spending time with her.  I like getting to know her more and I am looking forward to marrying her and spending the rest of our lives together.  I am looking forward to continually learning more about her and eventually raising a family with her.

Ok.  I guess that's all for now.

Until Next Time....
