…Until Emma’s Big day!!! I am so excited!! I am so glad the weekend is almost here. This has been a really busy and tiring week.

Woke up to snow this morning, which I love. But I very much did not love getting stuck on the hill in my development. How totally embarrassing to get stuck in the snow in your OWN development. And to top it off I totally cried thinking what the heck am I going to do now, stuck sideways on this hill. I could only hope a plow truck (that was still absent as of that moment) didn’t come charging up the hill and slam into me. I finally broke down and called Scott to come rescue me.  Once my wonderful hubby got me off of the packed crazy snowy hill, I dropped Emma off at school and finally got moving to work. The drive was slow, main roads were clear but side roads were still a mess. Better late than never.

Some super great news!!! My friend Ali,had her baby Tuesday night. A boy, Maxwell Keene, 7 pounds 12 ounces. He is super cute. Full head of dark adorable hair. Baby and mommy are both doing great!! Congrats to Ali and Alex. I can’t wait to visit and meet Baby Maxwell!

In Diet land, week two and I am still going strong with my plan!! I am feeling great and I can already notice clothes fitting better and overall feeling better about myself. I have set a goal of May 1st. We are taking a trip to St. Martin the first week of May and boy would it be nice to wear a bathing suit and feel someone ok about it! I think a goal of almost 5 months is totally doable and If I stay this determined and have the right mind set, I am hoping it won’t be a problem. But for now I am staying positive and focused!! I am just so thankful the holidays are over. That truly is the time of bad eating lol.

I am hoping some of this snow sticks around for the weekend so I can FINALLY put Emma in her snowsuit and let her play in the snow. I can’t believe its January and this is our first actual big snow storm. And it wasn’t even that big. Definitely not what us upstate New Yorkers are use to that’s for sure. I am very excited to see Emma’s reaction to the snow though. Pulling her around in a sled is going to be so much fun. My dad always had a blast pulling us around when we were kids. Fun to think back to being a kid, when it snowed so much over night. We would wake up to a winter wonderful and couldn’t get our snowsuits and boots on fast enough. We stayed out almost all day building snow forts and sledding until we were exhausted. Those were the good days!! We haven’t had much of a winter so far this year. I always love those saturday or sundays when we get a huge snow storm. We get to stay in our jammies all day, make grilled cheese and tomato soup for lunch and just watch the snow fall. As much as I hate driving in it, it is pretty to just watch it come down!

Thats all for now. Back to work on this snowy day!
