Southern Surprise

It snowed last night! Surprise! Yes, you read me correctly. This morning a nice layer of snow blanketed cars, lawns, and rooftops. Being the non-morning person that I am, I heard Aisling exclaim about it first, and then Trevor confirm it. Where was I, you ask? Snuggled in my warm bed, of course. Although snow is a big novelty in the South (It snows about every ten years here, I'm told), we received plenty of it while living in Utah for the last 20+ years. Brrrrrrr!

Later this morning, after the snow began to melt: View from our front porch looking at the neighbor's house across the street.


Backyard pictures: Although the snow had melted in our backyard, look at the field behind the fence. Also, see our cute chicken coop (aka EGGPLANT)

WOW! Mother Nature is doing wacky things this year. You'll never believe this, but we haven't had any snow yet in Utah! Well, we've seen a few flakes, but nothing has stuck yet without melting.

I'm feeling a little envious. I'm glad you got some pictures!
That is crazy. Here in Vegas it hasn't even hit the 30's yet. Kind of fun though and it makes the snow that much more of a novelty when it does happen.

Do you miss real snow? There's actually not much here either - well none in our yard.

The Great Annual Birthday Gift Hunt

Please allow me to introduce you to a (first generation) Wright birthday tradition.  Would you like a little history? When you have only one child, there's a tendency to spoil them, even by accident. I noticed this the first few Christmases after Aisling was born. While looking at our Christmas tree, I couldn't help but notice the "bare" space beneath it--the beautiful tree skirt was almost in full view except for a few brightly wrapped presents. Comparing this view to what we imagine a Christmas tree scene should look like (i.e. LOTS of presents and almost NO view of the tree skirt because of the overflowing amount of gifts-Have you watched any Christmas movies at all?) made me want to run to my nearest shopping center and buy things like a crazy woman on a shopping spree.  Luckily, my good sense and logic won out, and I started looking for other more reasonable and viable alternatives.  Does my child really need to have 20,001 gifts under the tree just so ...

25 Things

Okay...so I've been tagged several times on Facebook and I've been absent from the blogging world for almost a month. I'm really sorry. I'll play now, but I can't guarantee next week or even tomorrow. 1. When I'm feeling down, I hide-out in my home. No blogging, no talking to friends, very few calls to family, little to no socialization (only the most necessary interaction happens. i.e. church callings and/or when a very close friend realizes that I'm on a downward spiral and decides I need to get out of the house at all costs.) 2. While barricaded in my home, I tend to either read a lot of fiction (remember, I'm trying to "get away" from the real world) and/or start-continue-finish medium to big project(s) in an effort to boost my spirits. 3. For the last two to three weeks, I have taken apart the master bathroom, and now I'm attempting to put it back together. What does that entail? Removing the toilet, taking apart all of the cabinet d...
