Winter Expectations. 11-24-08 06:37pm EST
This morning was just another morning that I hit the snooze button over and over dreading getting up. Doesn't everybody? Adam and I stayed out (at his grandparents) too late last night. We had fun though, so it was very worth it. Just as I was considering the idea of actually getting out from between my flannel sheets, Adam called. "Hey," he said, "it snowed." Granted it has snowed since I've been up, but just in the sky- it didn't stick. But, Adam informed me, it stuck today, so I reached up and looked out the window. If you're like me, this is probably what you would expect a Wisconsin resident to wake up with outside their window.

Photobucket

But, no, I saw this:

...and when I thought about transportation, this is what I envisioned:

Photobucket

But, this morning, my horse drawn sleigh never showed up. :)
Instead I had to brush off the snow so I could see anything out of any of my windows.

Photobucket

Scary...

Photobucket

But, it was actually no big deal. I just lifted my foot off of the gas 3-5 blocks before the stop signs. It all worked out. :)

Sure, it may not be what I expected, but there is no place I would rather be. :) But, you know I still wouldn't mind a horse drawn sleigh every morning.

~Holly~
nightowlbe careful! Did your car finally pass inspection? 
cbonkHa! Lived all my life in the north (some of it WI) and never been in a sleigh! Lots of sleds, but no sleighs! 
danadnice pics 
melissakaegah! Be careful!!!!! 
laurar209Do be careful -- driving in snow can be kind of scary. But oh how I LOVE the winter when there's snow on the ground! 
kendradI have never been in a sleigh either. Wow. You guys got a good head start from us. Still sunny here. We ahve seena few flakes, but nothing that you could see on the grass or pavement. 
ex_patI think our snow this weekend was better. We actually had a lot. 
prtbonethat's not so bad. It could be much worse ;P 
mother_henI liked your "not this but this" post. Be careful in that weather! Love you! 
beccalgh88Holly,be careful! I bet winter up there is pretty fun! At least that is the way it looks! 
mother_henhmmm, that is interesting information (frig). I was thinking about the one with the side by side on top and freezer on bottom. I'll see if I get any more suggestions. Thanks! 
cbonkHey! We had a great time, too! Pretty soon we'll be back to renting a hall like when I was a little kid! Maybe you and Adam could come and visit us and then we could have our own grudge match. : ) Josh and I really got cards - not sure how that happened! Brian will sure feel justified in his germ-o-phobia now! Hope you guys are all recovered. : ) 
danadcall me 
heidiwHahahaha!! Ummm... thanks. I will cnange that. :) 
melissakaehmmm... cd cases. :-) Good idea! I don't think they even SELL ice scrapers down here... :-D 
kendradI wasn't ignoring your comment. The dream thing is kinda funny cause we've really only met each other over 1 week, and very little even then. I have dreams like that too. I.e. Two of my acquaintances that don't know one another will be in the same dream. Weird how your brain can do that... 
thepianoman12That made me laugh. 
jjorangeswirlHey, no fair, you guys got to see Westbrook! 
astitchintimeHow was your home visit?

High of 39, low of 29.
Chance of snow.

I got out my puffy pink coat today. Brr.

~Holly~

*****UPDATE*****

IT SNOWED TODAY!
snoopyooo! That sounds so nice! 
southern_gal87ah man...i want snow! 
sparkerthat's insane 
cbonkHey, is there a wedding date yet, by the way? We had snow last night, but of course, nothing sticks since the ground is still so warm. 
nightowltime to get out the gloves, scarves, shovels and ice scrapers. 
ex_patWe alredy had snow. We are headed into light @ 9 dark @ 3-4. 
thepianoman12Judging by your pictures...Adam is becoming slightly Amish. Gotta love him though. 
astitchintimecold weather finally got here. Stay warm. 
mother_henwow! did you get pictures? 
danadYou missed a meeting of the Lumberjack's club this morning.

First Batch of Fall Pictures 10-23-08 10:08pm EST
I've been watching Little House on the Prairie lately. I am getting hooked. I say that it is the 7th Heaven of its time. Eric Camden and Pa Ingalls ALWAYS find some way of showing up and saving the day NO MATTER how impossible the situation seems. For example, yesterday I watched the episode where Mary (blind), Adam (blind), and some lady IN LABOR are in a carriage accident. The driver died. Of course, Pa Ingalls saves the day. I love that show.

Holly and Adam playing little house on the Prairie:
Photobucket

Here is David climbing out over the creek. Adam took this picture and I think it turned out pretty cool.
Photobucket

This I think was my favorite picture of the day.
Photobucket

We took quite a few fall pictures, but I don't feel like posting those now...and the pictures we took on Friday have not been put on Photobucket just yet. For some reason my computer won't do that any more so I have to wait till Adam gets time...and that certainly won't happen on a Thursday. :) He isn't even home yet!

Anyway, I talked to my dad today. They have new kittens, so mom keeps sending me very cute kitten pictures. One of them is deformed or something, but he is super cute. Anyway, mom just called and delayed my post (worth it) and Adam will be home any minute.

Be looking for more pictures soon.

~Holly~
jjorangeswirlAwesome pics! I miss you guys. 
heidiwI agree withy you favorite picture selection! Very good, indeed. And thanks for your help with the bible class material the other night! We all really appreciated it! Have a lovely day! 
laurar209Beautiful...! Don't you love being in a place where there's fall? Glad life is treating you well; I should call you sometime and catch up with the ins and outs of you. Take care, dear! 
mother_henI also love Little House. (watched it the first go-around too). We have several seasons of it. I think Pa also cries in almost every show. 
kendradI think the picture of David on the log is really cool. He looks different than when I saw him in Sept at the boosterclub meeting, but I can't put my finger on what it is... Hmmm. 
southern_gal87great pics...and i love little house too! 
aurocksI watched Little House probably with her. I too am a fan. 
aurocksOh, and love the pics.

I've Never Seen a Fall Like This 10-14-08 10:40pm EST

Those were all taken today when we took a walk (with my new camera that I got for my birthday).

Photobucket

It is the week of our Gospel Meeting. So, I work, eat, and go to that every night. Tonight, I matched Adam's tie perfectly. Black, gray, and bright purple. It looks like royal blue or something, but it is bright purple and much prettier of a color in person. It is strange to be able to wear sweaters so early. :)

Photobucket

~Holly~


cbonkI tried to convey this fall to Aaron's girlfriend Sonya (from Houston-area)! That is a really incredible tree! Looking forward to Thanksgiving and hope we will get to see you. : ) 
laurar209Isn't fall simply amazing? I'm absolutely loving fall in New Jersey right now -- driving through the hills to church is breathtaking! 
melissakaeHOW BEAUTIFUL! (the leaves and YOU). I'm jealous. :-) 
missysnappWow. The color is amazing. And I'm sure it's better in person than even a picture can convey. 
mother_henBeautiful! 
kendradWow, that is a cool tree! I'm glad I get to see this kind of fall every year. If you think wearing sweaters is necessary now, wait til January when it's -15. I think I'm going to invest in some wool tights for work and worship this winter. 
southern_gal87wow those trees look amazing! i love fall. hope you're doing great! 
heidiwAHHH!! So good! I need to find that tree and take some pictures of my own. I am glad that I get to see you pretty much every night this week! Have a good night! 
snoopyHolly, you are making me miss fall!! 
sparkerWOW!!! I can't believe it. I guess I've never seen anything like that in person before. Only the occasional random red tree. 
aurocksGreat pictures. Did you get my picture I sent by phone? 
danadcool pictures 
desibeautiful! We played in the leaves today :) 
doodlealltheNice fall photos. What kind of tree is that at the top? I'd like to see photos of where you live and the city, etc. We are all happy and content here. School is keeping us busy, but we'll have a break soon! :) Can't wait until January. We haven't been to TX in about 5 years! 
nightowlBeautiful pics. Love the red tree. 
danadDid you see the comment under Mom's pecan grove picture? 
dorothy129How do you like living in the North? 
astitchintimeI just got back from north carolina and it was also beautiful. Love you grandma 
smilin_ashleyThose fall pictures nearly brought tears to my eyes - I miss that so much! Y'all look great! 
barbershopboy05wow, awesome pictures, but who's the guy with the beard thing? 
barbershopboy05who's stache doesn't connect, lol

Indiana Weekend Trip 08-11-08 06:40pm EST
This weekend I went with Adam's family to Indiana to go to a wedding (where I met the few remaining close relatives that I hadn't already met on his mom's side) and stayed at his grandparents' house (on his Dad's side). So, this weekend turned out to be a fun little trip with lots of new faces. I had so much fun!

Here is us before the wedding:

...and a picture of the whole family on Sunday...

...and a picture where you can check out my ring! :)

mother_henI had been talking to your mom before the storm about how to borrow their generator if our power went out. But they are still without power! We're all glad I don't have their generator! Have you seen pictures of Galveston? It's heart breaking!
