Before moving to Missouri, I asked Mark about the winters here and he said that when it snows, it rarely accumulates beyond 3 inches....Huh.....As far as I know, 3 inches does not look like this....
...Or this...
2 storms with snow accumulation over 12+ inches...yep. It seems I will not be escaping the snow just yet. Mizzou cancelled classes for 3 days because of the 2nd storm so Mark and I made sure we had a pantry-full of food and lots of candles. Lucky for us our stockpiling was never needed since the power stayed on and the roads cleared out within a few days. We suffered nothing more serious than a cracked windshield (my car). We started reading Atlas Shrugged. (We still have not finished, but so far it has been an AWESOME book!)
On another one of our evenings that month, I talked Mark into trying out waffles and ice cream...He loves waffles! But he'd never heard of waffles and ice cream (to be honest, I have no idea where or from whom I heard it, but I know I had heard it somewhere...), so here's the result:
Yay for Lactose Free Ice Cream :)
Waffles and ice cream and peaches (the peaches are for me - I love them). I really liked it because I'm a sucker for breakfast foods but Mark not so much, either way - it was great to finally try it. Now if I could just remember who told me about it in the first place!
Another surprise in February came in the form of a package...that had this in it...
"Trust me, I'm a Doctor"...Thanks Ash!!
My friend Ashley and I have been in love with Dr. Pepper for MANY years...it was an integral part of our times together. Once upon a time, on one of our many Walmart runs, we stumbled upon a Dr. Pepper T-shirt. Sadly they didn't have our sizes or it was more than we were willing to pay for it (I can't remember), so we didn't purchase them, but we thought they were the coolest things ever (because let's be honest, they are!). We've always looked back on that with a little regret. So a few weeks ago, Ash was on a Walmart run and lo and behold...a Dr. Pepper shirt! She didn't waste this chance and got one for herself and for me. How sweet is that! She had told me that it would be coming, but when I got the package, it was still such a surprise! Love you Ash!!
Pretty aren't they? Despite the snow storms we've experienced, Spring has started to make itself known. Schnucks (a local grocery store for those who've never heard of it) had them on sale and since it was sunny out I had to celebrate. It made me smile every time I looked at them...and it's true - I'm SO ready for Spring, Summer, and sunshine to get here!
