Winter has officially come to MD!



...bracing for the storm of the decade here in Maryland. This might be a blessing in disguise. You should see it here, it's like Y2K all over again. People are in emergency mode stocking up on all the essentials. Milk is especially hard to find. We ended up going to 3 different stores in search of it and finally ended up at a CVS Pharmacy. Got the last 2 gallons. We noticed on the way home that the snow plows are ready to go at a moments notice. The snow is projected to hit at midnight. The blessing I'm talking about is that I might actually get my Christmas cards finished and out to all of you!



Back with snow update: The weather forecast was right! Amazing. We have snow! Starting Friday night at about 11:30 and still going strong today...it is now after lunch. And I have pictures to prove it...the forecast calls for snow until tonight. Enjoying the winter wonderland and looking forward to a white Christmas!

We are adjusting to life in Maryland! Morgyn is close enough to walk to school! Jadyn and Torbyn bus it to school! Brittyn and Mommy are home together having fun and Dad is learning the ropes with his new job. Jeff is also starting his second class towards his Masters with Gonzaga.

We had a great Christmas! Only half of our tree fit in the house. But we made it work. In the end it still filled our window and Jeff was satisfied.
Before Christmas we took a trip on the Metro to D.C. and saw our nations capital in person and of course the 76 ft tree from Montana! The kids also loved the Natural History Museum!
A couple of days before Christmas we also drove to the DC temple to enjoy the lights. Not exactly like Temple Square but it worked!
Morgyn represented our family well today with a great youth talk about service. She was very poised for her first talk in Sacrament Meeting.

One state down!
