Snow in St. Louis

Snow Day during my first week of nursing school. That has to be some kind of record! Ha! Kidding! I was pretty excited when the alarm went off at 6:30 this morning and to my delight, I discovered that I did not have class and that I could go back to bed. (Garrett was not so lucky!)

I was sitting on the window sill excitedly looking out at the snow! After deciding we had done enough studying for the morning, okay so I was only partially studying and talking to Rachel, Amanda, and Claire all at one time. I spent a lovely morning looking at VS swimsuits with Rachel! It was fun and we should do it again, only this time, I should order something!

The view from the window where I was sitting. Not much of a view really.

This is my favorite part! We have skylights and they were totally covered with snow! It looked so cool!!

We have not seen this much snow is St. Louis in a while. We had some on Christmas Eve but that was nothing compared to the near foot of snow that we got yesterday.

Garrett's truck bed was almost full of snow! I wanted to jump in and make a snow angel, but thought better of that idea. It would have been cold.

Action shot! I was trying to get a shot of him flinging snow everywhere. Garrett was very entertaining to watch!

After our trip to get my stuff, we decided that we should dig out my car before we went back inside. (And also so I wouldn't have any trouble Friday morning on my way to school!) Needless to say, its a good thing that we dug it out this afternoon. It was nearly buried.

Garrett being silly and writing a message in the snow!!!

So cute! I love you too!

After we were able to get the door open. That took a bit of digging, which isn't very easy when you don't have a shovel of any kind. We made due with the scraper. Took a while.

Then I finally was able to back my car out of the hole is had been in. I thought it was quite impressive, for St. Louis snow anyway.

Garrett wanted to play in the snow, but I couldn't feel my fingers anymore so it was time to go inside. Never fear! They said we didn't have to worry about the snow going anywhere as we are supposed to get more this weekend and next week we'll be sitting in the negatives for temperature. I had better get out my long underwear now!!!

Well I am almost done with the first week of nursing school and all I can really say is, information overload! However, isn't that the case for anything during the first week? So far we have covered, The Roles of the Nurse, Mobility/Immobility, Transfer/Positioning, Medical Terminology, Hygiene/Oral Care, Physical Assessment, and we finish up the week tomorrow with Vital Signs. Yipe yipe yipe! Its all good! I will survive! Garrett's mom gave me this pretty necklace for Christmas that says, "Never Give Up." I think it may be a good time to go ahead and put it on right now!!

Until Next Time!

Lots of Love!!
