Snowed In

We got about 2-3 inches of snow on Friday night and Saturday and that is a big deal around here. Before the snow everyone was freaking out. Church was cancelled on Saturday, school is canceled on Monday, and the roads have been close to dead all weekend. We used this weekend as a chance to be lazy, sleep, read, cruise the internet, etc.

I (Ryan) did get to venture out of the house to see what things were like yesterday. In my primary class last year I always used to tell the only boy we taught that if it ever snowed I would come over and throw snowballs at his house. I had to track him down. I went over to the Willis's, another family in our ward, and started a giant snowball fight with a bunch of kids, not just Aiden. Here is a minute slideshow.

The biggest concern right now is icy roads and people who don't know how to drive in them. But it should be up to 45 degrees tomorrow and everything should be OK after that.

Weekend Trip to Visit The Jones's

Some guys get more handsome with age

My roomie from college and his family have been overseas for the past three years in Japan. We finally got to go up and visit them in DC over the weekend. This weekend coincided with the first big snow so we got to spend a lot of time indoors catching up. It was wonderful to be around Nate's wife, Lindi, and their great kids. Little Ryan played checkers with both of us and beat us both badly. And we were both trying our hardest.


We did get a chance to go out with the kids and play in the snow. Here are a couple videos. We love you guys!

It's Snowing Again in Raleigh

It's still a big deal around these parts. Thats twice in one winter!

SNOW day

We got about 5 inches of snow today. This may not be very spectacular to those that live in Utah, but Raleigh rarely gets snow much less has it stick. Unfortunately, Southern people don't know how to drive in the snow and I saw 6 vehicles in ditches on a 3 mile span on my way to work this morning. Most places were canceled but not our jobs. I guess psych patients and broken bones don't get snow days. Tomorrow will be the scarier trying to get to work...black ice. Still, it is pretty to see everything covered in white.

It snowed and I can prove it!

Were having a cold streak here in North Carolina. It snowed last night and there was still some flakes on our cars when we went to work. Tonight it is going to get down to 21 degrees. Brrrr!
