Snow!!!

Yep... snow.  Here in mid-Tennessee it is a rare site.  Strange thing is... this time it stuck mainly to the road surfaces.  Very little on the grass so as to have fun playing in.  Like a few years ago, we had about 8 inches of snow.  We got out our ski gear, and skiied all the way from the top of the hill in our back yard down to the road.  Sounds great doesn't it... it wasn't that great.  Not the same kind of snow at all.  This stuff was really sticky.. oh you could go a little bit, but trying to turn in it was exhausting.  This is a photo from that event.

Nowadays we find that our favorite snow pastime is the Wii.  Last weekend we had a couple of the young guys (Trevor & Myles... 15 and 11, repectively) from our cong. over to play Wii.  Josh Nichols and I wore them out... or perhaps they did that to us, I dunno.  We played for about 5 hours, then we did what you can always do with other peoples kids... we took them home. 

Its funny how the Wii reminds you every so often that there is a real world out there somewhere.  When you switch from one game to another, this screen comes up showing the Wii-mote sitting on the table next to a window with a nice breeze blowing through it and it says, "Why not take a break?" 

Getting really excited about Reed and Kelly's wedding.  They're excited as well.  Lots of planning going on.  she was here last weekend and she is delightful.  I hope she's patient ;-).  Actually, Reed is moving back to Atlanta probably next weekend (Marietta).  It's really strange for Micki and me this time.  We kind of dealt with the "empty nest" syndrome the first time he moved out.  Trust me when I tell you that this is not a "made up" syndrome... IT IS REAL.  Not sure how this move will affect us... I suppose we'll see.

Love,
