Fun in the snow :)

I came to visit Aaron (and Diane and Mark) for part of the weekend in Tullahoma. It started snowing immediately when I pulled up, so after about 1 inch or so had accumulated we decided to take some pictures. I have to say, we got some pretty cute ones! Enjoy :)

Look really really close.....

Normally, I leave Gallatin and go visit my family every weekend, where ever they may live. This weekend, they all came to see me. While it was a TON of people in my little bitty apartment, we had a blast! Gloria and Elayna decided to stay a few extra days for an extra long visit! Again, I love having a "stay at home sister"! She and Elayna came to practice with me on Monday and also came to have lunch with me on Tuesday at school. I came home from my game tonight and the lights were on with people waiting on me! It's a great feeling. Here are a few pictures of my wonderful weekend :)

She loved my whistle!

"Teach me! Teach me!"

Waving "Hi" to daddy

Today we woke up and Aaron discovered how to wave "hi" to people. Diane and I tried forever to get him to wave on cue. We kept taking videos but came up unsuccessful. Once Mark walked in and said "hi" to Aaron he look at him and waved just like he'd been doing it all his life. Enjoy the video!

P.S. He is so gifted!

Aunt Rachel is so funny!

Aaron and I were playing on the couch and discovered some pretty fun stuff. Diane decided to get a video us :) Enjoy!

SNOW DAY!!!!

Today is the first of 2 snow days!!! That's right, SNOW days. However, you need to know a few details about what exactly "snow day" means. See, it means different things to different people. To me and my "upbringing" it means that there is about 2 feet of snow on the ground, which fell too late in the night so the 15 snow plows in our town can't get it all cleaned up in time for school to start. It also means that you will only have 1 day off of school so you better "live it up!". However, brace yourself because that is definitely not the definition of a "snow day" in Tennessee.

In Tennessee, you have to completely change your frame of reference! First of all, they only have about 2 snow plows in the whole state. Which, would make sense because they only use it about once every 5 years or so. However, on that one year they need the snow plows it's like 2 mice living in a huge warehouse. You know they're there but for the life of you...you never see them or hear of them. And it takes about 4 days for them to get from one side of the warehouse to the other. Anyway, so the end result is that if it threatens to snow AT ALL, they have to basically shut the whole state down. If it actually does snow, all chaos breaks loose and nothing is open or working. So, I get many much more snow days than you can every imagine.

Now, for some of you who have a hard time believing that this is actually the case. I have taken a picture of the evidence to show you what just an inch of snow can do here. 1-2 inches = 2 snow days and many happy teachers/students in Sumner County Schools! Enjoy! :)
