Bring It On


We are expecting a blizzard like those pictures again this weekend! Those pics are actually from 2010 when we got 2 huge snowstorms in like 6 days and ended up with almost 6 feet of snow- I don't have any pictures of that amount though, these are from the first storm. We could actually jump off of my parents second-story deck into the snow, it was so high! We are supposed to get 2-3 feet this weekend with crazy winds. This December was extremely mild in PA and though our temperatures have dropped into the normal and below normal range this month, our snowfall has been lacking. I know lots of people hate snow but I love it and I know that a lot of businesses depend on it around here- ski resorts, snow removal companies, etc.

I am still stuck on the couch for 4 more weeks with this bum foot/ankle. I got a new cast put on on Wednesday and when the doctor said he'd see me in 4 weeks I seriously had to hold back tears- I thought I only had 2 more weeks left. Don't worry, I cried later lol. I know an extra 2 weeks doesn't really seem like that much, but it has only been 4 weeks total since the surgery so 4 more sounds like an eternity. After those 4 weeks are up then I have to go back in the huge walking cast/boot and go to physical therapy for awhile. I'm not really able to go anywhere besides doctors' appointments because I'm supposed to keep my leg elevated- if I sit up it swells almost immediately which really hurts; oh and I can't drive obviously. I don't want to sound like a complainer but these 4 weeks have really been crappy. I'm so lucky to have my awesome husband but I feel let down by some of my friends and family who haven't been there for me at all, plus I'm stuck on the couch all day and it's lonely and boring. Anyways, I hope you have a great weekend and if you are getting winter weather, have fun and stay safe!!

  3. I can't believe the amount of snowfall you got in 2010! I hope that you can still take part in some of the snow activities, even with your foot and ankle problems! I know you've got to be going stir crazy in the house, but at least you're half way to being completely done! And your husband is such a rock star for taking care of you!

  4. At least you will be able to be cozy inside and look at the snow out the window! I'm glad your husband has been so great with your recovery process! That's a bummer about other friends and family though. Those pictures of all the snow are gorgeous!

  6. I love snow as long as I can stay cozy inside! Haha. It's been snowing for weeks here in Chicago, but we haven't been getting a huge amount.

  7. Girl, I would've cried over the extra 2 weeks, too! It's a pain in the ass and you want it to be over... totally understandable!
