A Day in the Life of a Minnesota Winter

January 27, 2014April 20, 2017

I have to admit, this is maybe some of the worst weather we have had since moving out here to Minnesota! Not that we have gotten dumped on with snow, but the combination of the snow and WIND, has left monumental (literally) effects. School is cancelled tomorrow, in which we are not surprised! Dan and I decided it would be fun to go for a drive tonight…something we typically do when a bad storm comes through. Needless to say, we didn’t make it very far!

A glimpse of what the wind was doing…

A tad blustery…

A drift in town

It will be an interesting morning at the co-op for these workers!

This is a drift in the road…

We decided to venture up County Road 1 (main road) and we didn’t make it very far. We were in between 2 drifts and said, “well, so much for the adventure!” We turned around and said “yup, it’s bad!” This picture doesn’t do it justice, but a car would not make it through!

Tomorrow will entail another day of staying warm indoors! I am not even sure what school is open in the state tomorrow (I am sure there probably are some), but the list goes on and on at the bottom of the tv screen! Shall be an interesting week!

Happy winter! (Not going to lie, there is a tad bit of excitement over this crazy weather!)

Changes Welcomed

This moment in our life, we have dreamed about for years. Years of prayers, years of dreaming, and years of wondering when, just maybe when, it would be our time to have a child. Many have said “oh, just wait until you have to change diapers and stay up with her all night because she…

Wednesday – Family Life

Definitely the biggest thing right now is staying healthy (as I’m sure you can all relate to!) On Monday, Dan was diagnosed with bronchitis, which wasn’t a surprise. He has been sick for over a week and his fever kept spiking. We thought he’d be getting better then the next day he would go downhill….

Introducing Our Olympic Swimmer!

Last week, Dan took our youth group kids to St. Cloud, for the Junior High Retreat! They stay at a Holiday Inn and Suites, where the kids have many options of things to do, while also doing some fun things around the city. Because Mazy isn’t sleeping through the night quite yet, I decided it…

What Mazy’s Been Up To!

We sure have a growing girl! I have had numerous people tell me that Mazy looks older than almost 4 months, but also has such long legs! Both are probably true, but all we know, is that we are just so in love with this little girl! This week Mazy has really become active in…

Around the Home

Welcome winter! In November! We had our first snow day of the year, and it just so happened to be the day we needed to go to Ann Arbor for my TEE test. Thankfully it was all lake effect snow, so about 30 minutes in, it was all done. Mazy came with us, since she…
