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 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!)

This past week we welcomed snow back to Michigan! Not sure exactly how I feel about it, but I have to say, it is beautiful! Thankfully it held off long enough for me to have an uneventful drive back to the U of M for check up, which you can read more about HERE….

It has been SO nice outside that I have forgotten to take pictures this week! I think my Halloween pics covered my lack of pics this time though (I know, I went a little overboard on Monday!) I have to remind myself that it is NOVEMBER and not SEPTEMBER with the weather. I am just…

Back in September, I was uncertain what my health would look like in December, so I decided to get a head start on Christmas shopping and even though I feel pretty good, I’m enjoying the simplicity of Christmas instead of rushing about trying to get things accomplished. We have spent a lot of time at…

Around the Home

Sure was a snowy and chilly week here in the Midwest! It’s going to be a little quiet here these next 2 weeks as our family goes on a little hiatus to Florida to visit Dan’s parents. We are ready to relax, refresh, and rejuvenate as we explore more of God’s creation and soak in…

So glad to have our “Mazy” back after she was pretty down and out the week prior! Her goofiness has reappeared and is just a different kid, like they often say after sicknesses! Dan and I have welcomed it now, but have not had near the severity of it as Mazy did! Did not take…

This little squirt is soon to be 1, which is crazy, but actually not so crazy. We feel we have enjoyed every minute with her and we are just soaking in every moment we can! Mazy sure is learning so much, so quickly! Now if she wants something, she can eventually scoot on her tush…
