Snow in Chapel Hill

I have lived in North Carolina since July 2006 and this is the worse snow I've seen. Not that it was bad, but it'd definitely the most accumulated snow. It's kinda like a hurricane category 5 warning when only a category 1 or 2 shows up. Since I've lived here, we've gotten 1-2" at most each time it's snowed. Not this time! When we went to sleep last night, we already had a couple inches. Around 8am when I went outside, there was about 5-6" already and it snowed on and off all day.

Work was closed today and reports are already in for tomorrow closings. At this rate, we might not even be open on Monday either! That's just crazy to me, but I totally love it.

Even spraining my ankle on a rogue covered up hole can't dampen my mood. I love this white flaky prettiness!

Beautiful night time snowfall, Friday evening.

 

My new car is already covered!

This was around 8am Saturday morning on top of my car. Roughly 6" of snow.

4" of snow and 8-9" of puppy... you do the math. :)

Lola with one of her BFFs, Tobin. Yes, he's an Irish Setter & she's a Miniature Pinscher.

One of her other BFFs, Brindle. Lola was totally body slammed but got right back up to play.

She was walking in my footprints to sink less. By this point it was about 5-6" on the ground.

More pictures on my facebook, viewable to everyone with an account.

Vote for Lola!

OK, so it's not wedding related, but it's my fur-baby!

She's #51 in the poll, so please go vote for her! The poll is in the left sidebar at the bottom. You can vote for more than one, but make sure you vote for Lola! #51!

Thanks :)

Booking the Wedding and a Lola Picture

I was just checking out SLVW as I do... frequently.. and noticed a little disclaimer on their front page. All package prices will be increasing as of September 1, 2009. However, wedding booked prior to September 1 are not affected. Guess what I'll be doing as soon as I get my student loan excess funds in 2 weeks? That's right... booking the wedding and paying the deposit!

Yes, I have the "go ahead" to do so. Not for the above reason, but for other reasons, but I'm sure mentioning the rise in prices will only help push it along. =) We're pressed for funds as is, hence Vegas in the first place, and with a total trip budget of $1500, we're not taking chances on going over said budget.

In amusing.. news.. I am taking an Illustrator class this summer.

<---- This is my latest project. I had to use the pencil tool to write my name, or in this case, Lola's name. Then outline a subject from a photo and colorize it however we wanted. I picked our poochie, cuz she's the cutest little thing.

No reason for posting this other than I wanted to show off my lack of Illustrator skills. Gotta get up to speed since I'm designing all the invites, favor labels, etc for us.

Lola, Brindle & Tobin BFFs :)

Our little puppy, Lola, is a Miniature Pinscher. She's the little blur below - haha. She adores all our neighbor dogs. There's Brindle, left, and Tobin, right, and also Kiki and Amy and Dexter and Davey and Dude and and and. Yeah, we live in doggie heaven! There are so many dogs here and it is simply awesome. BTW, I grew up with tons of dogs, all beagles, so I simply love being around dogs.
