It has been a few days since I last posted so I'll check my phone to remember what happened :-)

Oh yes, I went to York on Saturday to visit with my former Youth Pastor and his wife.  I hadn't seen them in over 15 years.  I had not yet downloaded the GPS to my new phone so I printed the directions off of Google Maps.  HUGE MISTAKE.  The directions were wrong & I struggled to find a data signal out in the boondocks.  It took me 2 1/2 hours to find them, but I was determined, and it was worth it.  Then, a thunder-snowstorm came from out of nowhere.  Within a few minutes my car was stuck.  It took 3 men to push me out and get me on the road. 

I called mom (who lives next door)when I left York, and she said that it wasn't snowing at my house.  A little less than an hour later, this is what my house looked like when I pulled in my driveway...

Speaking of mom, it's her birthday.  Happy Birthday Mom!!!!  I love you!

This is what Greta has been up to since my last post...

Balto starts "shy dog" class on Saturday.  Speaking of Balto, he knows he isn't allowed on the furniture...

One of my favorite people in the world, Sarah Westbrook, is moving to Charleston.  Her husband, Cary, got a new job there last Fall and she is moving to be with him.  Thankfully, they aren't selling their Charlotte home so we hope to see them back here before too long.  Tuesday, along with some of my very best friends and 2 other people :-), we celebrated Sarah. 

Also on Tuesday, our church worship team, Elevation Worship, released their new album. Surprisingly, it skyrocketed to #1 on the Christian charts the very first day.  Even more surprisingly, it went to #5 on the overall charts sitting between Mumford & Sons and Fun.  I'm a big Mumford & Sons fan.  Fun (the band)...not so much.  You may recall, my friend Christy and I attended the live recording so it is extra cool to remember hearing the songs and know that we are singing along on the CD.  If you want to hear some good worship music, check out their new CD Nothing is Wasted.  The deluxe edition includes studio versions of all of the songs.  One of the worship leaders was even nice enough to let Scott hang out with him at the recording studio one afternoon while they were recording some of the album. 

If you are interested, I found this youtube version of one of my favorite songs from the CD.  Look for me in the audience.  I'll be more than a little surprised if you can find me. 

OK...I think that catches me up.  I'll try to do better. 

Snow Pictures

Here are some pictures from very early Saturday morning.  This is my house.  My house really isn't "black" but the lighting makes it look that way!

 

Here's a view from the back of the house.  Again, not a "black" house!  I can't wait until my photography class starts in April - I have a lot to learn. 

 

This is the gate at the end of our driveway.  

 

Here's the view from my mailbox...

The creek in the back of our house...

Two views from the woods...

  

My neighbors' house a/k/a Mom & Dad

  

Mom took a picture of me playing with Sophie.  If you look real close (or if you double-click the picture), you can see that she is biting my leg.  

 

Sophie sitting on Kevin's porch.  She's such a good dog! 

  

I hope you enjoyed my snow pictures.  I also hope that these are the last for a while.  We received somewhere in the ballpark of 4 inches of snow on Friday.  I'm done with snow for the rest of the year.  No more snow.  It's time for Spring!
