Welcome to Pennsylvania!

If you’ve ever wondered what it would take to get church cancelled in Pennsylvania, this is what it would look like (looking out our front door). Right after the bishopric called Lane I just had to take a photo. This is all it takes! And I just realized this is the first time in my life I’ve ever had church cancelled. Lane’s happy though- he just got chocolate chip waffles for breakfast. *you have to look very closely to see the snowflakes.

One more from Ice Fest!

Winter Recreation

We have had some werid snow storms out here. We got a couple inches of snow, but that night it all froze over, so it's just one solid sheet of ice. Cole has not been too happy about it, he just slides right on top of the snow/ice.
I’ve been trying to catch up on some inside house projects. Here are some photo's of my latest project of painting our bedroom. The color is called Tawny Green but the color itself varies a lot depending on the lighting. Lane’s projects are crown molding in the rooms and bookshelves, but at the rate they keep canceling school due to weather, I may have a lot more projects finished than he does!

Happy Valentine's Day- Martha Stewart would be proud!!

Happy Valentine's Day! It was a wonderful day here! We had a huge snow storm, by huge I mean a couple inches, and therefore we had no school today. So I enjoyed a nice day at home working on this really awesome dessert for Lane. I saw it on Martha Stewart and I must say it was amazing! It took several hours to make, so not an everyday dessert but perfect for special occasions like Valentine's day. Lane did a good job of getting me flowers and taking me out for a candle-lit dinner, so no complaints here! Now if I can only decide which lucky friends should get the extra Triple-Chocolate Mousse Desserts... (click on the Martha Stewart link above for the awesome recipe).

Oh and I promised Jensa that I would show her a picture of the art work that Lane put in our kitchen. It is very unique.

Not a "2 Thumbs Up"

This week I got together with some of the other "girls" in the ward here in PA and we went and saw Becuase I Said So and let me just say I don't really recommend it. We really just wanted some sort of chick flick since most of these girls never get out with thier kids and all, but it was a little creepy watching Diane Keaton "fooling around" if you ask me. If you've seen any good movies lately let me know though becuase Lane and I are always looking for something good to see!

Ice Fest + 5K Run=1 Cold Weekend!!

This weekend Lane and I did all we could to enjoy the 19 degree weather we've been having. Friday night, with about 4 other couples, we went into Chambersburg where downtown they had thier annual Ice Fest. They have ice sculptures linning the streets and people are out carving blocks of ice, and selling food and hot chocolate. (Sorry the only picture I have for now is one of me with my eyes closed!)

Then the next morning in the same cold weather Lane and I got up and ran a 5K. Now granted it's not a very long run, but it was my very first run ever, and Lane had not trained for it one bit. My friend that was going to run with me backed out at the last minute, so Lane was so kind to volunteer to run with me! What a sweetheart, he even gave me a little nudge at the finnish line (as if I needed it) to finnish before him!
