Well, the snow is still around from last Sunday's snow "dump". It has slowly been melting but it is still very evident that there was a lot of snow here lately. Now I hear there will be more snow starting tonight into tomorrow. I guess that's global warming for ya. We'll probably have snow on the first day of Spring. That's nice. Really.

As I said in my earlier blog, we (my husband and myself) have not lived here our whole lives. We both grew up in So Calif. We met during the summer between our Junior and Senior years in high school. He was a friend of my older sister's boyfriend. That's how that happened. He was so special and I just thought he was great. Well, being from different high schools - he went to a different one than me - we just kinda grew apart our senior year. But I still thought about him. Then we saw each other off and on throughout the years, but not too much came of that. Then in August of 2003 I was surfing the Web and went on classmates.com. Well, guess what? There he was, my old flame from high school. I emailed him, he emailed me, that went on for a while. (Unfortunately, he had moved to Florida, of all places, and I, being the homebody I am, was still in So Calif). We met up at Thanksgiving that year "half-way", well, actually, it was Arizona, but still far for me, but a lot farther for him. LOL - We hit it off, got married in January of 2004 and then (thank God) moved back out 'west' to Nevada. This marriage was 30 years in the making. And we finally made it. It's been a great marriage, of course we had (and still have) our ups and downs. I mean, people have a lot of baggage in 30 years, you know? But we're very happy and very much in love. We have our five dogs, no kids for us (too old, anyway). We do have kids from previous marriages - he a daughter, me a son. So that's cool.

But I can go on and on forever.
It's 10:26am and my day off (LOVE IT) -
I work 4-10's at my job so every week I get a 3-day weekend. My weekend is Wed, Thurs, Friday. Love those days. I mean, with no little ones to worry about school, babysitters, etc etc, well, those days work out great for me. Saturday as a Monday is too cool, too. Great life, great marriage, great home - I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.

This blogging stuff is fun. I am enjoying just jotting down stuff that just pops into my brain. Maybe I'll get a little bit better at this and write about something that might interest someone somewhere. Or not. We'll see.
