Valentine Snowpocalypse

This has certainly been a very interesting week.  Mom came for a visit since Marshall had to travel all week for work.  She arrived on Sunday afternoon and Marshall left early Monday morning for Laguna Beach, CA.  Mom and I nervously watched the weather/news channel as the impending winter storm moved closer and closer to the Carolinas.  We stocked up on food at the grocery store and hunkered down for the next few days as "Snowpocalypse 2014" made it's way into town.  The snow began to fall around 9 am on Tuesday, and continued straight through Thursday afternoon!  I've never seen so much snow in the 10 years that I've lived in Charlotte...all in all, the news reports say we got 9 inches total!  Needless to say, our city completely shut down - we just don't do this kind of weather in the south!  School was cancelled for the rest of the week and kids all over the neighborhood (both big and small) were building snowmen and sledding.  We stayed cozy next to the fireplace and watched the world outside turn pure white.  It was so beautiful!  Marshall sent us a gorgeous view of the Pacific Ocean from his balcony, but he was really wishing he was here to see this too (well, maybe he was wishing for the snow to come next week so he could have the best of both!).  While Mom and I are now starting to develop a little bit of cabin fever, we had fun talking, watching trashy TV, and of course snuggling with the baby.  Colin is both of our valentines this year!

SnOMG!  Take a look at this!

And because it's Valentine's Day, I have to share a few of my favorite pics from a V-Day photo sesh I had with my little cupid :)  Happy Valentine's Day, y'all!
