Ice Ice Baby & an Award

We are still snowed/iced in! It's Snow Day #3 and it may stay frozen until the weekend. Hopefully we will still be able to get our furniture in on Saturday! I am enjoying the time and getting everything organized, but Doug is going a little crazy! He has major cabin fever and sometimes seems like a kid who is stuck inside during recess. If only I had my camera while he was dancing to Glee last night. Ha!

Now onto the award...I got my first blog award from my blog friend, Meghan! Thanks girl!

 

So, this is how it works:

1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this award.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Award 15 recently discovered bloggers.
4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award!


7 things about myself:

1. I have lived in Georgia all of my life and I absolutely love it!

2. Until I was a senior in high school, I really only ate chicken fingers. I was obsessed! And they are still one of my favorite foods.

3. I share my birthday with Reese Witherspoon, who happens to be my favorite actress/celebrity.

4. I don't exercise. I'm lucky to have a pretty good metabolism, and I'm just enjoying it while I have it, because I know eventually I will have to work out!

5. I love animals. You probably know this if you have ever read my blog.

6. I don't watch scary movies or go to haunted houses. If I do, I can't sleep.

7. I am a girly girl, but I do have some weird boyish tendencies, like I enjoy building things and power tools. However, my tools are pink :)

I had the hardest time coming up with these things! And picking 15 blogs! So I am just going to do 5... :)

1. Brittany at Blogging Out Loud
2. Emma at Legally Lovely
3. Lesley Anne at Front Porch Sittin' with the Fentons
4. Aly at Analyze This
5. Brandi Nell at Brandi Nell the Southern Belle

Go check out their blogs! These are some of my favorites to read :)



Snowmageddon

Atlanta is covered in snow! Again! I love the names that people are calling it: Snowmaggedon, Snowpocalypse... I love snow, and Doug just doesn't understand my giddy-ness about it. I rarely had snow days growing up. Our county was the least likely to cancel school, so snow days are a big deal around here. Last night, Doug and I went to Kroger to stock up on groceries since we left most of them in Covington, and it was a zoo in there! There were 2 gallons of milk left, and all of the eggs were gone. It was hilarious.

I built us a fire and plan to have several cups of hot chocolate today :)

I LOVE our new fireplace screen! We weren't going to get one, but the first thing Pep did when he got here was climb into the fireplace. So we ran off to Target and got this beauty! We have to keep our highly flammable cat away from fire :)

Our new backyard- I just got this bistro set off Craigslist and I am in love! (It has another chair but it's cut out of the picture)

Pep loves the snow just as much as I do :) He has been here all night.

This weekend was part of the big move to Decatur. Our amazing parents helped us pack up all of our stuff and move it to the new apartment. My parents came on Saturday, and Doug's came on Sunday. If it weren't for them, it would have taken us at least a week to do all of this. So, THANK YOU parents!!! :) Now, our apartment looks like this:

Boxes EVERYWHERE! But luckily, Doug and I are snowed in today (and maybe tomorrow?) so we should be able to get most of this put away! We have to finish by Friday, because the movers are moving all of our furniture in on Saturday. I'm just amazed that we were able to get all of our stuff here so quickly. We have awesome parents.

I hope everyone in the area is enjoying their snow day! Hopefully I'll have pictures up next week of our completed home!
