My first BLIZZARD

This weekend I survived my fist blizzard in Washington DC! I must say that I got a bit freaked out when people were raiding the grocery stores on Friday like it was Y2K all over again, but I had plenty of soup and cereal for the weekend so I did not participate! LOL We got over 3 feet of snow and it honestly was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen!

Friday, I only had to work until 2 oclock and I got to wear jeans so it was absolutely amazing, and to top it all off I left work in a winter wonderland! I have never seen snow look like it is being BLOWN from the sky, not just falling, but blowing down to cover the ground! A girl who lives on my floor called it the most beautiful "God given blanket" and I couldn't agree more! A group of us were dumb enough to go out in the snow on Friday, but I must say it was the most fun I have had since I have been up here and the group that went out had me laughing all night! Usually I have my best friends to get up and dance like crazy with and I was a little nervous that I wasn't going to find those people here and I might have to contain my dancing skills, but no worries I convinced them to dance with me!!! When we left the bar, the snow had already covered the cars on the streets and it was a full on blizzard! SO MUCH FUN! The next morning (Saturday) I woke up to 3 feet of snow on the ground and it was apparent that we weren't going to be doing anything! So with that being said all 11 of us on our floor sat and watched the entire first season of "Glee", yes even the boys, and I can honestly say I think we are all pretty excited for the new season to start in April! LOL

Later on that night some of us decided it would be a GREAT idea to walk to get a coke at the 7-11 close by! On the way I played in the three feet of snow like a small child but it was AMAZING, and the coke was well worth the frigid walk! Along the way we had numerous snowball fights with each other, all out of love I promise! We then got back and I got the best phone call of my life! My LC (legislative coorespondent) called to tell me that there would be no work on MONDAY!! wooooooo hoooooo who knew that the Government took a snow day?!? I loved having a day off, and it turned out to be a huge blessing because I woke up with a cold from playing in the snow! It was well worth it! Washington DC looks absolutely BEAUTIFUL covered in snow, and there were seriously people skiing on some of the streets! I wish I could have found some skii's because i would have been right there with them! (refer to pictures)

Mom and Dad called me today and decided to beat the weather and head up my way a day early and I was SO EXCITED! I cannnot wait to spend this entire next week with them and then head to New York and see all of that also! I had the best weekend ever! Played in way too much snow, laughed entirely too much, and ate a ton of candy, which equals one heck of a weekend in my book!!

LOVING LIFE, and GOD IS SO GOOD!!

Adios :)
