Snow Day!

I titled this post Snow Day but it really should be called Snow Week!

After our trip to my hometown the week before last (which I still haven’t written about and I need to because I have another thing to cross off my bucket list…!) we got back to our house and it was like the Universe just wanted to tell us to slow down because the weather started going crazy!

It may not be alot to some of you, but my little beach bum heart swells so much at the sight of snow. I’ve seen it before and participated in snow sport trips but I’ve never walked out my own front door to a straight up winder wonderland!

 (And for those of you wondering, I didn’t edit that photo to make it blue, my sweet husband woke me up at the crack of dawn so I could see all the snowy goodness in my favorite light of day. Everything turns this blue hue in the evenings as well and I just love it! I loved seeing the earth look like this with all that untouched snow. It was so serene. Cold. But serene.)

We got back from our trip late Saturday night (we originally planned to leave Sunday morning but thought we’d get an early start), had a chill day Sunday preparing for the week of getting back into our routine (lol), Andrew worked Monday then was off Tuesday because the snow started! It was off and on then we got a load of about 6 or 7 inches on Wednesday night and it covered the ground well into the weekend. It was awesome.

We made a snowman with my brother in law’s fiancé who was here visiting for a few days and got snowed in! yay!

Me, right smack in the middle looking like a giant goofball! I was so excited about the snow!

After she went in for a nap (she’s from up north so I think she was getting the biggest kick out of me and Andrew being so excited haha!), Andrew and I had an adventure around our property and pretended we were in Narnia (which we watched later that day of course).

I can’t lie, I had soo much fun and it was so beautiful but by the weekend I was ready for the warm weather and routine to find it’s way back into our lives! I hope you guys had a great week last week and weekend. I’m looking forward to sharing about my trip back home although I took like…zero pictures. I promise I’m working on that..as you can see by today’s photo overload ;)

Love to all of you!!

  1. Oh my gosh! That IS a Winter Wonderland. I’ve never seen so much snow outside my front door, either… and probably never will.

    I do hope you thaw out, soon, though! ;) Bring on the Springtime!

    1. Yea, I don’t imagine Texas gets snow very often haha! I did see you guys got a little bit though! I feel the glimmer of spring for sure…if I could only get more than one warm, sunny day in a row…that would be amazing! :) x

  2. That looks like such a fun day! We had like 2 days of snow in Vancouver back in November – but nothing since then! And that blue hue makes those pictures look so serene.

    1. It was!! It filled my heart to the top, but I sure am ready for spring! Only two days? I feel like it would snow all the time up there, I’ve heard it’s super cold out that way but I haven’t been to experience it for myself yet :) It WAS such a peaceful morning, it was awesome. I always say “I love that color in the day” ha! xx

  3. These photos are SO pretty! I would love to experience that kind of snow. Maybe not all the time, but still. So gorgeous. Look at your little Olaf! We thought about trying to make a mini one with the little bit of snow that we got but we just went inside where it was warm. Haha!

    1. Yea I’m not sure I could live in this kind of environment although that day I was acting like Elsa, I’m more in tune with Olaf and his love of summer ;) I’m right there with you about being where it’s warm! haha! xx

    1. Isn’t it so enchanting?! My heart is always bursting at the sight of snowfall…as long as I don’t have to drive in it! ha! A few places here in NC experience true winter but not on the coast where I’m from. It was a nice welcome from my new town! xx
