snowstorm and happy birthday maggie!

On Friday afternoon, a record-setting snowstorm began right outside our very own windows! Both of us were at work, but Michael left early. He was supposed to pick me up from work at 6pm, but when he walked into the store bundled up and covered in snow, I knew the car hadn't been able to make it. So, we walked. Luckily, we didn't have to go very far.  Walking down a snow-covered street for about 25 minutes, the situation seemed quite surreal.  No one was to be seen, save two cars.

The next morning we woke up to about TWO FEET of snow! Naturally, we went out to play in it. The snow was so compact that Michael failed to make a snow angel… however, we did make the most handsome snowman there ever has been! After prancing in the snow for about an hour, we came in for some hot chocolate. Just like when I was a kid and we had big storms in NJ =)

Basically, everything this weekend was cancelled (work, Christmas party, even church!) so we just stayed in and relaxed.

Today is Maggie's 4th birthday! Happy Birthday Maggie!!! If you've never had a guinea pig, they are full of personality, spunk, and well… veggies. Basically, Maggie is the epitome of "guinea pig" and I am so very grateful to have her as my little buddy =)
