Snow Day and Other Stuff

I have been lax at blogging lately.  The same old same old routine stuff has been going on.  Nothing exciting to report.  Time is flying by... to fast for my liking. 

We did have some excitement around here last weekend.  On Friday we got a huge snow storm.  By the time the storm was over, we got about 20 inches of snow.  Ava and Molly loved playing in it.  Rachel, not so much.  It was up to her waist and way to much work to even walk in it.  She wouldn't keep her mittens on so she was cold as well.  In true princess fashion, they wore the princess dresses on top of their snow pants.  A pain in the neck getting them dressed and undressed but they did look cute!!






Mike and I were somewhat bummed at the timing at the timing of the storm.  Over a year ago, we were asked to be table leaders at an Engaged Couple Retreat at our church. If you get married in the catholic church, you are required to attended this retreat which is offered several times a year.This weekend was the biggest retreat ever!  36 couples attended!   Fortunately, only the Friday evening portion got canceled.  We started bright and early on Saturday morning.  Mike and I have definitely found our ministry.  We are so excited to give back to our wonderful church.  It is so much fun to be mentors for these newly engaged couples.  So exciting to watch them take this huge step of marriage.  Mike and I got a lot out of the weekend and realized just how far we have come in our relationship.  Such a rewarding experience. The next step is meeting with each of our couples individually. 

My wonderful hubby had a birthday on Monday.  With our crazy schedules, we were able to celebrate with Sushi.  The first time we attempted taking the girls with us.  Although it was nice to have the entire family with us to celebrate, the sushi did NOT taste the same.  Next time, NO KIDS allowed!  I got Mike tickets to see Lady Antebellum in concert next week.  So, we get to have a kid free birthday celebration and a date night!  So excited!

Happy Weekend Blogger Friends!!
