It's been such a long time since I have blogged. As you all know Armando and I went back home to Mississippi for Christmas! We had a wonderful time. It was great seeing all of my family, especially all the new little ones that were already getting so big!

We even spent New Years there and were able to shoot fireworks with all of my immediate family. That was awesome! I really enjoyed it!

On the way back home, it snowed on us pretty bad so we stopped in KS and stayed the night.

Although we had a blast, we were both happy to be home!

Shortly after getting home Armando had surgery on his left shoulder. That went well and he is doign okay and back to work! He's still in a sling and has yet to start Physical Therapy but hopes to start soon. He isnt supposed to use it at all until he builds his bicep back up.

It's been snowing here like crazy! One of our favorite things to do is sit in the car, drink hot chocolate from Starbucks and watch the snow falling at night time. It's still as amazing and beautiful as it was the first time we saw it!

The night before Valentine's Armando and I went to Cripple Creek to the Ice festival and it started snowing! The roads covered up and it became to dangerous to drive back up the mountains to go home so we had to stay the night at the casinos! The rooms were all booked so we just staye dup in the casino until daylight when it was safe enough to go home! We had tons of fun though! When we got home we were out of it so we slept all day. I woke to Dinner, roses, teddy bear and a card! We enjoyed a nice dinner together and had a great night!

Like I said earlier Armando is back at work. His unit is in the field for 3 weeks straight so he is on Rear D and works from 9 till 8 pretty much everyday.

My Mom and some of my family are coming back to visit us in April!!! We can't wait!!!!! It's always nice to have them visit! We have sooo much fun!

Things are going great we've just been super busy. Hope everyone is doing well! I'll try to start updating more often now that things are kinda starting to get back to normal!

More Pics!

Here's a few more pics of the snow!

Here's a quick little video of us the other night in the snow! We were standing beneath a light, and could see ourselves just fine on the Flip, but for some reason it turned out dark! I decided to just go ahead and post it anyways!

Another quick video! This one is from just a few minutes ago! It's still coming down!

More Snowy pics....

(Getting on the Interstate, it was just like this!)

(our parking lot)

These are pictures that we took from our phones when we went out to the grocery store since we didn't have our camera with us!

snow...Snow....SNOW!!!

(pics continued in another post, having to upload them to computer from phone!)

Once again we are having lots of snow! Everyone tells us we will get sick of it at some point but I just don't see how that's possible! Everytime I look out the window and see the yard..street.. trees and mountains covered in snow I just smile!!! Just another beautiful gift from the Lord! It just amazes me! Everything is perfectly blanketed in white! It just takes my breath away! Last night Armando and I went to King Soopers (grocery store) and we sat in the snow covered parking lot watching people all bundled up, braving the cold weather and snow covered streets to get groceries! All the while, there were millions of tiny little unique snowflakes falling all around!

We got out and took a couple of pictures and although it was dark, it still brought out it's on beauty! I just wanted to hop on and share a few of the photos with you guys! We will be taking more during the daytime soon! The forecast is giving 3 more inches tonight and 3 tomorrow!!!! We already have around 5 inches I would say! the temperatures are still dropping below freezing so we are keeping the heater going constantly in order to stay warm!

We will be leaving in 12 days headed home to Mississippi for Christmas and oh how excited I am!!!!!! I can't wait to see everyone but especially, My Mom, Dad, Brother and Ma and Pa!!!!!! Oh and believe it or not Little Bit... I miss him too! ;)

Well hope you guys enjoy the photos! I'll post again soon!

Lots of love!!

Negative 2 degrees... OH MY!!!

It's true! The temperature is -2!!! I think it reached -5 overnight and boy oh boy is it cold! It's been snowing the past few days so it's beautiful, but who would want to be out in it as cold as it is! This is definetly weather like I've never experienced before!

On another note... Armando was supposed to have surgery today but it was cancelled because the hospital's generators are down and they wont do any surgeries incase they lost the main power and wouldn't have backup! I guess we will probably reschedule it for the first of the year which is nice, that way Armando can enjoy the holidays without being in a sling and not being able to use his arm! Now that he doesn't have surgery... he has 2 be in the field for a week, I miss him already! I hate not having him home!

We decorated and took a few pictures! We will take more later and I'll post some of them! Still have to get our Christmas photo together and such!

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Love you all!
