Wednesday morning, I was getting ready to go to work and I turned on the TV to watch the Today Show like I normally do. Instead of the Today show being on, it was non-stop local news covering the massive blizzard that was rolling into town. I had heard it was going to snow but I didn't think it was going to be a major blizzard. I was still planning on going into the office until I heard the news reporters say we are expecting 12 to 18 inches of snow in Denver. Geoff and I both decided to work from home. Thank goodness we did! We are completely snowed in. As of this morning, we have is 22 inches of snow in our yard. It is amazing.

One of the perks of working for the company that I work for is that we can work virtually (work out of our houses) without any problem as long as we have a high speed Internet connection and a phone. I have been working normally but Geoff's company shut down yesterday and are closed until Tuesday!

Geoff and the dogs spent about 3 hours shoveling and fetching. Geoff thew the tennis ball and Frisbee at least 200 times. Gus and Jake are COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED. One of the neighbors was nice enough to snow blow the sidewalk in front of our house but Geoff still had to do all the other walks. He backed the Touareg out of the garage because he wanted to go buy a new shovel (he really just wanted to use the 4x4) he of course got stuck. He was able to move the truck back in. We are hoping that someone blows the alley out or else Geoff is going to have some serious shoveling to do tomorrow.


Poor Barb, Rachel, and Andy were supposed to be flying home. Since DIA has been shut down and the entire city of Denver is a disaster zone, their flights have been cancelled. Rachel got a flight to DC on Sunday. Barb got one out on Monday. I think Andy is going to just stay in Denver. Geoff has upgraded our honey baked ham just in case they still can't get out and want to spend it at our house. The more the merrier!!!!


The crazy thing is, they are saying another storm is on its way in tomorrow! I have a few more things to buy so hopefully I can get out to the mall and the grocery store at some point before Sunday...

It is so weird actually being snowed in. If we want to go somewhere, we have to walk. Since we both grew up in Saskatchewan, Geoff and I are not strangers to snow or winter. Occasionally we would get a big snow (6" or so) but I don't ever recall getting a foot or more in a night. We would have 2 foot snowbanks but that was from weeks and months of snow accumulating.
It is beginning to look A LOT like Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are having fun at least. Oh if I go into labor, we are less then a mile from the hospital so we could make it there.
