Weather problems

It's hard to believe, but the time has come. We turned on our heater. We were able to go all summer without turning on the AC, but when I woke up yesterday morning and saw that it was 59 degrees in our house, we determined we couldn't put it off any longer. The cold weather seemed to come out of nowhere. It had been a little chilly lately, but it seemed like we would have temperatures in the 50's for a while. Instead, this week we suddenly dipped into the 30's and today, we got our first snow shower. It wasn't much and didn't stick to the ground, but it's still frigid outside. Right now, weather.com shows Rexburg's temperature at 44, but feels like 35 with 25 mph winds. Tomorrow's high is predicted to be 35 degrees. Crazy, huh?

Speaking of unexpected, we've had a few unexpected things happen this week, one of them being some unpleasant news. But one of the happier surprises was the sudden availability of tickets to the BYU/New Mexico football game today. There were two tickets for Michael and me, but after much debate, I persuaded Michael to go to the game with the owner of the tickets, a fellow attorney at his office, while I stayed home with Annabelle. It would have been a very quick trip, with us leaving this morning and driving right back after the game. Annabelle is not big fan of long car trips and this would have been a day of about 10 hours in the car. Plus, the game is at 4 this afternoon, and we would have had to take her with us to the game. It's supposed to be chilly in Provo and it would have put Annabelle up past her bedtime. So, the girls are staying home today and so far, we are having a blast together, while Michael has some "guy time" at the game.

Hey I didn't know you had a blog! That's cool! I've often wondered what you guys were up to while your hubby is away doing smart lawyer things. Cool! I like your fort! They're so much fun! Keep it up! (Hint to making awesome forts: turn the chairs around so they face out. That way you don't have the legs on the inside. Then put a book on the blanket on the chair to hold it down) We used to do that all the time when I was little!

That was awfully magnanimous of you and AnnaB to let M go and leave the girls at home! Hope you two had some good girl time together!

It's snowing here too. Guess we shouldn't be surprised.
