the first day of snow.

I know I talk and talked about the snow that fell yesterday, but this morning, we woke up to snow on the ground. It's what I consider the first day of snow here in this town. The ground was white with it, and I drove in it, and it felt like I was flying through space.

When I got to work this morning, there were so many clouds in the sky, and they were dark. It looked like the sun hadn't risen yet, like it was still nighttime.  That's when I got up from my desk, went outside, and took this picture (the clouds don't look dark, but they were, I promise). And then, when I looked out the window next, the sun was out, the clouds were gone, and so was the snow. But it's okay, because it's snowing tonight, and I'm sure there will be more of it when I was up tomorrow.

I am ecstatic. I can't believe the snow is here!

the first signs of winter.

Early this morning, after Zac left for work, I stepped outside and locked the door. When I turned around, I saw tiny little snow flakes in the air, slowly making their way to the ground, where they instantly melted. It was magical! When I got to my car, a pile of those little snowflakes found a spot on my windsheild, and it made me so, so happy.

I drove to work this morning in the falling snow, that eventually turned into rain, because it wasn't cold enough. I didn't even mind the cold air from the vents blowing on my face and ears. The first signs of winter are making their way to Utah, and I couldn't be more thrilled.

Last year, if you remember, we didn't get much snow. And on Christmas day, the only day that snow is mandatory, it was dry. And that kind of put me in a downer mood all winter, especially since my Grandpa Earl passed away three days after Christmas. So this year I am hoping for lots and lots and lots of snow; maybe even a blizzard!

It's a good thing I broke out the Christmas records weeks ago.

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

politics.

Zac and I just finished watching the third and final Presidential Debate between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. We didn't watch the first two, but I heard Romney won both. While watching this one with Zac and my brother, Daniel, I found it funny that Mitt listened to Obama and waited for him to finish his sentences, while Obama interrupted Romney every chance he got, telling him how wrong he was (he wasn't). 

All I can say is that is Obama is reelected, our country is in trouble.

Go Mitt!

baby zac and baby megan.

Zac and I spent a part of today backing up all of our photos and music onto a hard drive so we don't lose them, just in case something happens. While going through them, Zac reminded me of all of our little kid pictures we scanned for a slide show for our wedding luncheon. 

It got me thinking, what will our babies look like? I don't want to sound vain or anything, but if our kids looked like me, I would be okay with that. I was a cute baby! But Zac was pretty cute too. I mostly just hope our baby isn't bald, like Zac was (sorry sweetie).

What do you think?

PS: please admire our matching pajamas.

on the river.

We met up with Matt, Steph, and their two boys, Aiden and Jackson, this evening for a Halloween cruise on the Provo River. Keeping Aiden occupied was pretty easy while we waiting for the boat, since he made friends with a cat, took as many pictures as I would let him (fun fact: the picture of me and Zac was taken by Aiden--not too shabby), and kept shouting "I'm going to steal your booty" to the pirate walking by.

On the boat, we listened to a scary story told by the captain, and pirate jokes told by the pirate himself. We also saw jack-o-lanterns and witches and ghosts all along the river bank. It was quite a sight!

Afterwards, when we were all freezing, we met up at Subway for some dinner, and I had my first toasted sub. It was pretty good. I might get another someday. Aiden was a character the whole night. I just might think he is the coolest kid who ever lived.

a happy list.

What makes me happy today:

1. A husband who loves me unconditionally (I could stop here).
2. The wind and rain outside my window.
3. Giving Emily travel tips for San Francisco, and dreaming of going there with Zac one day.
4. The Holidays are starting. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas! My favorite time of the year.
5. Two bags of Pumpkin Spice Kisses in the fridge.
6. Making a good dinner for my sweet husband.
7. Thinking of what to be for Halloween (still not there yet--any ideas?).
8. Teeny tiny baby clothes.
9. Taking a walk during work today.
10. Thinking of all the beautiful holiday decorations and food I'm going to make (thanks, Pinterest).

What makes you happy? :)

touchy feely.

The day we moved, exactly 6 months ago.

Last night, Zac and I sat on our cozy bed and took the Five Love Languages test to see what ways we feel loved the most. I'll admit, it was pretty hard, as you have to pick the statement that is most true (even though, oftentimes, both are true). 

When we both finished our tests, we compared them. My first love language is Physical Touch, and my second tied between Service and Quality Time. Zac's first love language tied between Physical Touch and Words of Affirmation. His second was Quality Time.

So, when it comes right down to it, Zac and I both like to be touchy feely. Surprised, not surprised. 

If I remember right, Zac's parents were concerned about us being too touchy feely when we were engaged. I have to laugh, because they probably thought it would wear off once we were married. It hasn't.
