snow day

But where are the snows of yester year?

After a conference finished at work last week, it was time for a snow day. The Weather Channel was actually calling for snow (100% chance), but in true Virginia Beach style the snow never came. The children of the 757 rejoiced anyways since school was cancelled at the chance of snow. Classic.



Ryan and I had already made plans to head out of town to see some real snow. And by real snow I mean man made snow. Nevertheless, it was white and frozen and it did the trick. I can't remember the last time I went skiing. Probably with Club Snow in high school when I had a crush on Ryan. Please take note of our one picture from the mountain, thank you Ryan for closing your eyes.

One of the many reasons that I love my husband is his incredible ability to fix things. I mean he tore apart our home (in the renovation process) and then put it back together and made it so wonderful. He really is so good at fixing and repairing things.

So when he stepped on his video game headset and cracked it into two pieces, it really wasn't a problem at all. First, he tried super glue. No luck. Then he tried getting me to apply super glue while he held the two pieces of headset together. Apparently two pieces of plastic cannot be attached using super glue. Ryan wasn't discouraged. "Why not tie the headset to my head with my ipod cord?" he thought.

Clearly. Great solution, Ryan. I think I laughed for 20 minutes straight when I walked into the den and saw this:
