Mr. and Mrs. Anders Nelson

Here they are Anders and Victoria on their wedding day. This is a picture I took and not the professional...couldn't tell could you! Ha. Was it worth 4 days of driving?? Only for the ones we love! The drive back was a bit hairy with an icy snow mixture from the middle of OK to most of MO. We wanted to drive right straight through but the weather had other plans. I am glad we arrived safely back home but wish we could have had more time with everyone in Texas. Now it is snowing here and very cold. This morning it was -15 with the windchill. Yikes!!


I'll put some more pictures on tomorrow, when I have more time...I'm really tired and need to get some rest.

More snow!

Aren't we lucky, it's snowing again and we have winter weather advisory until 6pm. I'm not sure how much we are to get but there is about 4 in. out there right now. I believe it's here to stay until spring. Thur. is suppose to be a high of 10. I wouldn't mind it so much if I could just stay at home curled up by the fireplace with a good book and a cup of hot cappuccino, or sewing on a quilt. Ooooohhhhhh that sounds sooooooo nice! We leave for Texas in a week, I hope that it isn't snowing next week. Have a great day, whatever you are doing and where ever you are!


Some Thanksgiving fun...the kids (young adults) playing Monopoly.

Yuck, it's Monday and there's snow!

I won't boar you with more snow pictures, there was a few inches and the wind was blowing when I left for work this morning. It was a bit slick and of course as always.....COLD! Sat. I had the pleasure of driving down to Milwaukee to the Bucks game with a group of exchange students. Here are some pics from that adventure.
