Hunting and Girl's Weekend

A few times a year some of my college friends and I try to get together and just catch up, which is what we had planned for this weekend. Meagan, a friend in Dallas, who is in PA school just finished up her finals and was ready to get away and relax. Unfortunately Kristina wasn't able to make it in with her. Meagan's flight was cancelled on Friday due to the snow in Houston...who would have thought? She didn't get to come in until Saturday morning. We did a Houston home tour and stayed at each of our houses over the weekend. We window shopped and really had lots of girl time in the evening just to chat. It was great getting to catch up with everyone, as our lives are all so busy now! I can't wait until the next time.

Kurt was invited on a hunting trip this weekend in Lubbock with his friend Dusty. They actually stayed about an hour north of Lubbock, and he said it was freezing and felt like summer when he returned to Houston. It usually warmed up to the 30's but was around 11 degrees in the morning. They were bird hunting every day and he was able to enjoy time with his friends too. Apparently they had to break ice just to set out bird decoys in the morning, and because all of the water was frozen over, the birds landed on the frozen ice when they fell. He said it was lots of fun, but he was glad to be back home in some warmer weather. What a weekend!

Let It Snow, Let It Snow

On Friday the forecast for Houston and the surrounding area was...SNOW! We had been hearing that it was supposed to snow on Friday all week, but we couldn't believe it until it actually starting falling on Friday morning. They dismissed most of the schools early on Friday, because the temperatures kept dropping, and the roads were getting icy. At first the snow wasn't really sticking, but it started coming down much harder later in the day. Brittany and I took our class out to play in the snow, and they all had their mouths open trying to catch the flakes. It was really cute to see how excited they were. During carpool it was literally freezing, and one of the Moms at our school brought us all Starbucks hot chocolate. It was so nice! Kurt took our video camera and digital camera with him on a hunting trip, so I had to pick up a disposable camera on my way home. Our yard and roof were white when I got home, but I don't have those pictures developed yet. It was neat to see snow so early in December, and it definitely put me in the Christmas spirit.
