Let it Snow
It took a little while to decide, but I finally made the decision to take Reese to dance class yesterday. It had already begun to snow but we had only accumulated an inch or so by 3:30pm and class didn't start for another hour. I wasn't worried about getting to dance, I was concerned with getting out. By 5:30, I wondered how much more we would get. I checked Wilson School of Dance website and no cancellations. "So why not", I thought. It was either go then, or make it up later. We make up enough classes when traveling to NC. "Just go" I thought.
So we did. And wouldn't you know it, as we got closer and closer, the snow came down faster and the flakes got bigger. "Great. My father-in-law is gonna have to pick us up, I just know it. And then I'll have to leave my car here. That kinda sucks". Reeses' class this year is small. And by small I mean, tiny. It consist of her and just two other girls, and I know the families are from around here. Those heffers didn't even show up! I mean really, the southern chick is the only one who made it out? Yall are from around here. It's not like anything shuts down until there's practically a foot or more of snow on the ground. I mean, Wilson wasn't going to cancel any classes until 7pm anyway! Geez! Oh well, I think Reese enjoyed the one on one. And I was glad for at least Miss Jen's sake that we made it worth her drive to be there as well.
Oh yeah baby, by 5:30, the outside world was white! So pretty. By then my FIL was on his way out to pick us up. To my surprise he brought my BIL along, and Jason was sweet enough to drive my car back to the house. Reese rode with Jason while I rode with my FIL, Tim. The roads weren't too bad, but I don't really think I could have made it by myself. I mean, I wanted bad to try, but every time we had to make a turn, it made me a little nervous to think how I might have done. Tim and I talked about it, he kinda talked me through it even though I wasn't driving this time. I now feel slightly prepared if I ever needed to drive in it.
Although, last year I drove in some snow with my partner in crime, Nichole. We had gone to a late movie and hadn't been there half an hour when the parking lot was almost covered! My husband called what seemed like 100x preparing me, asking me if he could just pick us up. I of course can tell him no easier than I can my FIL and insisted that I drive home after the movie. That was a fun trip. Won't forget that one, will ya Cole? She made me go out of our way to the gas station because she needed a nicotine fix. So I drove to the gas station, stopped in front of the building still on the highway (it was like midnight or later and no one else was on the roads) and made her run across. It appeared to be closed but she didn't believe me. I wasn't gonna drive in the parking lot where no plows had gone through yet and get stuck! Hahahaha, she ran all the way only to find locked doors!! I should have left her! Just kidding, Cole!!!
My point really, was that I thought it very sweet that my FIL called my BIL to pick Reese and I up and have Jason drive my car back last night. I couldn't have been more appreciative to them both! Now we're all here enjoying donuts, coffee and the 3-4in of fluffy white stuff on the ground this morning.
On a side note: Isn't is amazing God's creation? I couldn't stop thinking about that last night as I watched big, and I do mean big, flakes fall from the sky. I mean, it never seizes to amaze me God's imagination. Who else would have thought of perception at all?!

New Hair!
Soooo, I've never gone dark before and it turned out pretty nice I thought. Got a few high-lights put in for dimension and a really nice cut. It's a bit of a confidence boost if I'm being honest. It's boring, dull, and a bit depressing during the coldest part of the winter and this little hair makeover has done some spirit lifting. I dig it!!

Elvis' Birthday
Lesser known: So was my little sister
Happy 21st birthday Pammie Jean! It's been a joy watching you grow from a sweet baby girl to B-E-A-UTIFUL young lady. You have so much to offer this world and I love tuning in to see what your up to next. Thanks for the memories too! Stuffing you in the dyer while it might of accidentally got turned on for a split second :) Your first day of school, eating lunch with you at school. Awww, and how could I forget you dressed as Jasmine for the Halloween parade?! Giving you driving lessons...Oh Lawd! Spending the night with me. Sitting on my bed with me when I realized "I'm going into labor!" Proms, winter balls, graduation.
"It's good...it's good...it's goooood."
A few bumps along the road of course, but such is life. The important part is that you have risen above them with the support of your family and a stronger person. We have shared some close moments as well as shared some space. But we are now at a point in life where we can be real sisters in every meaning of the word. Don't get me wrong, being there for you and maybe having a hand in raising you was well worth it and an experience for us both that I hope we never forget. But this place in life that we're at now has been the most fun!
I know what tonight will be all about for you. So all I can say is...BEHAVE, I'll be watching. Really, I want you to have fun, but a part of me will always worry just a little too much and I'll be ready to say "told you so"
That said, I still wish you a very happy birthday, a great weekend, and a wonderful year, and as always...there is my wish for you, that all your dreams come true!

Day 7!
Cousins
Here is a group of sweet kids. Cousins that played, laughed, sometimes cried, and ate most meal togther for 15 months. Living next door the Xavier and Sekota was such a blessing to everyone in the family but it probably meant the most to my three. The bond that was created last year will be a tough one to break. I enjoyed watching these five grow and play together. Much love to you boys and we miss you very much!
