| in the husband's snow boots on day one of the snow finally starting to come down |
Today we woke up to zero degrees and a beautiful blanket of untouched snow. I love how pretty the snow looks when its undisturbed by stomping snow boots and little paw prints. And then I love being the one to put on those snow boots and stomp through the drifts. Bella felt otherwise about the snow this morning though-- usually she loves running and playing, but with it being a whopping ZERO DEGREES (I am not exaggerating people), after a few steps she stood there visibly shivering and we had to run inside and get her in a warm blanket. She is just too little!
One the one hand I love this weather, and Lord knows we need it here in Michigan. With the water levels being low last year, and no apple crop to speak of we could certainly use the snow so we don't have the same issues this year. BUT on the other hand, its forcing me to stay inside and get caught up on laundry, which is boring.
We are waiting on a closing date for the house, and I can't wait to get in there and share pictures of our new home! We are hoping to be in around mid-February and right now its just a waiting game for the bank to give us the go ahead! Lots of exciting things in the works.... I envy those of you in warmer parts of the country! Sometimes here in Michigan, it feels like things shut down for the winter, and we all go into a sort of hibernation. There aren't many any brides getting married in the dead of winter and no one really can stand to be outside for more than five minutes at a time so I can't wait for spring and for photo sessions to resume! Until then... I am appreciating the beauty, and the time to cuddle Bella, and nurse my STILL sore throat (three weeks and counting....ugh). Here are a few photos I got before I looked and saw that Bella was getting ready to succumb to frost bite...

ReplyDeletep.s. It looks so nice and COLD.. when im sitting here in the Bahamas... sweating ... send some down this way
ReplyDeleteIt's so beautiful!! I never see snow like that, I live in Mississippi! It's frustrating though for it be so close being cold enough for snow and it's RAINING, not snowing... RAINING! The worst! I'd love to have just one great experience of a beautiful snow fall!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! It looks so cold.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous gorgeous. I always love the first good snowfall. It makes everything so peaceful and beautiful. Although trying to scrape it off your snow in the early morning to get to work is NOT so fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture with the blanket of snow caption. So,so beautiful! Keep warm chica!
ReplyDeleteLOVE THE SWEATER! Where from?
ReplyDeletePoor Bella! SUCH pretty pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteabsolutely beautiful! and your dog is so cute! looks like she's having fun in the snow!
ReplyDeleteLOve the pictures...I couldn't handle zero degrees...I can barely handle 40 degrees hahaha!! LOVE your sweater!!
ReplyDeletelove your pictures! it is seriously freezing in the mitten, im totally hibernating the rest of the week until we get last weeks weather back lol
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wish my city would get more blankets of snow like that...but then I'd probably turn into a poor shivering Bella:-) It's so beautiful though! xoxo
ReplyDeletehaha aww...I am the same way! I am only out there long enough to snap a few photos! :)
Deletewhat beautiful pictures! can you tell me what lens you were using?
ReplyDeletehi ragan! yes, I was using a 50mm f/1.4 here with ISO at 200, aperture at 2.5 and the shutter speed bumped up a bit ;)
DeleteMy husband and I were just talking about how Winters haven't been very cold in recent years, and apparently mother nature heard our complaint. I cannot believe how bitter cold it is out there! My dogs are driving me crazy indoors because they can't really spend more than a few minutes outside.
ReplyDeleteStay warm with your sweet little family!
from south dakota and yesterday was -31...yes you read that correct! well actually it was -10 but with the windchill -31...we are blessed to have the 4 seasons but warmer climates are very tempting on days like that! you also make winter look beautiful and perfect!
ReplyDeletewow! that is insane! STAY WARM AND SAFE!!!!!!!
DeleteHow gorgeous!!!!! I'm officially jealous!
ReplyDeleteYou're making me really miss Michigan! I normally don't miss the snow and chilly temps, but you're so right there is something SO peaceful with untouched snow
ReplyDeleteLove the picture with the sun in it! And your sweater as well. Where is that from?
ReplyDeleteAlso, are you going to post a February printable calendar? I love my January one but my work desk is ready for February already!
Hey cassie, yes I am , working on it today! It will be up on January 31st!
DeleteSO pretty! It wasn't quite as gorgeous on the east side, but my husband got a "cold day" off of school. My district, however, did not (shaking fist!).
ReplyDeleteI'm like the 15th admirer of that sweater though--clue me in on where it's from too. :) :)
xoxo
Those pictures look amazing! And that sweater, as you know, is bananas. I want it in my closet like yesterday.
