snow, snow, snow

It seems like this has been the longest week EVER! I finally made it into my office this morning after getting stuck in our parking lot for 20 minutes. We got about a foot of snow last night and are expecting even more over the next few days.
Welcome to Wisconsin!
Surprisingly it hasn't been that hard for me to get used to living like this again after being away from Montana for 10 years. My husband on the other hand is hating it! It doesn't help that by law here you have to have your sidewalks shoveled within a certain time frame after it snows or else you'll get a ticket. The other morning I woke up at 6:00 and our nice neighboors next door had already shoveled in front of our house and behind our house to the garage for us. Steve is thrilled that we only have to last this winter and we'll have a snowblower for next year. Bonnie offered to bring us their snowblower when they come for a visit this summer since they have a BobCat which kind of takes away a need for the snowblower they have sitting in the shop.

I'm looking forward to what will hopefully be a quiet weekend. I've decided that all I want for Christmas is to have our bedroom and bathroom painted so we're going to go pick out paint colors this weekend and will probably spend our Christmas painting. Yes, we are pretty much the most boring couple ever! I absolutely HATE painting and I'm horrible at it too, but I figured it has to get done some time so it might as well be when I have two days off from work.
