It's Just A Little Snow

The last two days in Eastern North Carolina have been interesting to say the least. All day Monday the only thing on the news was the big saga of the snow that was to come the following day. Well, I guess in this state as soon as one weather man says "snow" everything begins to shut down. By Monday evening (before one flurry had even been detected) half of the town was closed for the next day. Since I work at the only place that never shuts down (the hospital) once Tuesday came I went to work and at that point there was still no snow to be seen. Around lunch time is when the hysteria began...













Yes folks maybe an inch of snow and the town is completely shut down. Now at this point everyone begins to worry about how they will get home, (for real, I am not making this stuff up). And it is at this point that cancellations and closings begin for the NEXT day... So all in all we got about 2 inches of snow and the town was basically closed for 2 whole days.
I was at work when I snuck these picures... nothing too exciting to photograph there.

A quick thought

Today I applied for nursing school! OK what I really mean is that even though it will be a few months until I find out if I am in the program or not I am very excited to be getting on with this education thing. I applied to the LPN program which only takes a year, that way if all goes according to plans I will be an LPN by the time Daren gets home from Japan! So here goes to the next two months of studying for the entrance test, ahhhh.

The Luckiest Girl




OK so I truly believe that I am the luckiest girl ever! This past week Daren did the cutest thing. On Friday morning while I was at work I got a very beautiful arrangement of pink roses. I was so surprised, happy, and excited to have gotten them. Then while I was at work the next day I got an amazingly beautiful arrangement of 2 dozen red roses and this time I was speechless. He really is the greatest thing to have ever happened to me! The sweetest part about the whole thing is that I get the beautiful surprises and its his birthday. Happy Birthday Monkey
